Multicanonical MCMC for sampling rare events: an illustrative review
Multicanonical MCMC (Multicanonical Markov Chain Monte Carlo; Multicanonical Monte Carlo) is discussed as a method of rare event sampling. Starting from a review of the generic framework of importance sampling, multicanonical MCMC is introduced, followed by applications in random matrices, random graphs, and chaotic dynamical systems. Replica exchange MCMC (also known as parallel tempering or M...
متن کاملUse of multicanonical Monte Carlo simulations to obtain accurate bit error rates in optical communications systems.
We apply the multicanonical Monte Carlo (MMC) method to compute the probability distribution of the received voltage in a chirped return-to-zero system. When computing the probabilities of very rare events, the MMC technique greatly enhances the efficiency of Monte Carlo simulations by biasing the noise realizations. Our results agree with the covariance matrix method over 20 orders of magnitud...
متن کاملMulticanonical Monte Carlo simulations
Canonical Monte Carlo simulations of disordered systems like spin glasses and systems undergoing rst-order phase transitions are severely hampered by rare event states which lead to exponentially diverging autocorrelation times with increasing system size and hence to exponentially large statistical errors. One possibility to overcome this problem is the multicanonical reweighting method. Using...
متن کاملMulticanonical methods, molecular dynamics, and Monte Carlo methods: Comparison for Lennard-Jones glasses
We applied a multicanonical algorithm to a two-dimensional and a three-dimensional Lennard-Jones system with quasicrystalline and glassy ground states. Focusing on the ability of the algorithm to locate low-lying energy states, we compared the results of the multicanonical simulations with standard Monte Carlo simulated annealing and molecular-dynamics methods. We find slight benefits to using ...
متن کاملMarkov Chain Monte Carlo Methods in Statistical Physics
In this paper we shall briefly review a few Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods for simulating closed systems described by canonical ensembles. We cover both Boltzmann and non-Boltzmann sampling techniques. The Metropolis algorithm is a typical example of Boltzmann Monte Carlo method. We discuss the time-symmetry of the Markov chain generated by Metropolis like algorithms that obey detailed balanc...
