Robust wave function optimization procedures in quantum Monte Carlo methods
The energy variance optimization algorithm over a fixed ensemble of configurations in variational Monte Carlo often encounters problems of convergence. Being formally identical to a problem of fitting data, we re-examine it from a statistical maximum-likelihood point of view. We show that the assumption of an underlying Gaussian distribution of the local energy, implicit in the standard varianc...
متن کاملGutzwiller wave function in the three-band Hubbard model: A variational Monte Carlo study.
The Gutzwiller wave function for the three-band Hubbard model on a two dimensional CuO2 plane is studied by using the variational Monte Carlo (VMC) method in the limit Ud → ∞, where Ud is the Coulomb repulsion between holes on a Cu site. The VMC results for the energy and the fraction of d-holes are compared with those of the Rice-Ueda type Gutzwiller approximation (GA). The difference between ...
متن کاملVariational Sequential Monte Carlo
Many recent advances in large scale probabilistic inference rely on variational methods. The success of variational approaches depends on (i) formulating a flexible parametric family of distributions, and (ii) optimizing the parameters to find the member of this family that most closely approximates the exact posterior. In this paper we present a new approximating family of distributions, the v...
متن کاملVariational Consensus Monte Carlo
Practitioners of Bayesian statistics have long depended on Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) to obtain samples from intractable posterior distributions. Unfortunately, MCMC algorithms are typically serial, and do not scale to the large datasets typical of modern machine learning. The recently proposed consensus Monte Carlo algorithm removes this limitation by partitioning the data and drawing sam...
متن کاملEconomic optimization of solar systems in uncertain economic conditions using the Monte Carlo method
Solar energy is an environmentally sustainable energy source as it is clean and inexhaustible. Solar systems are very common and cost-effective, thus, can be used for many home applications. In this paper, a new method is presented to optimize solar systems economically, regarding to energy cost fluctuations. In spite of conventional analyses, in which the inflation is considered constant, ...
