Monte Carlo energy and variance-minimization techniques for optimizing many-body wave functions
We investigate Monte Carlo energy and variance-minimization techniques for optimizing many-body wave functions. Several variants of the basic techniques are studied, including limiting the variations in the weighting factors that arise in correlated sampling estimations of the energy and its variance. We investigate the numerical stability of the techniques and identify two reasons why variance...
متن کاملOptimization of quantum Monte Carlo wave functions by energy minimization.
We study three wave function optimization methods based on energy minimization in a variational Monte Carlo framework: the Newton, linear, and perturbative methods. In the Newton method, the parameter variations are calculated from the energy gradient and Hessian, using a reduced variance statistical estimator for the latter. In the linear method, the parameter variations are found by diagonali...
متن کاملVariance Reduction Techniques in Monte Carlo Methods
Monte Carlo methods are simulation algorithms to estimate a numerical quantity in a statistical model of a real system. These algorithms are executed by computer programs. Variance reduction techniques (VRT) are needed, even though computer speed has been increasing dramatically, ever since the introduction of computers. This increased computer power has stimulated simulation analysts to develo...
متن کاملMonte Carlo comparison of quasielectron wave functions
Variational Monte Carlo calculations of the quasielectron and quasihole excitation energies in the fractional quantum Hall effect have been carried out at filling fractions n51/3, 1/5, and 1/7. For the quasielectron both the trial wave function originally proposed by Laughlin and the composite-fermion wave function proposed by Jain have been used. We find that for long-range Coulomb interaction...
متن کاملVariance-Gamma and Monte Carlo
The Variance-Gamma (VG) process was introduced by Dilip B. Madan and Eugene Seneta as a model for asset returns in a paper that appeared in 1990, and subsequently used for option pricing in a 1991 paper by Dilip and Frank Milne. This paper serves as a tutorial overview of VG and Monte Carlo, including three methods for sequential simulation of the process, two bridge sampling methods, variance ...
