Novel Monte Carlo algorithms and their applications
We describe a generalized scheme for the probability-changing cluster (PCC) algorithm, based on the study of the finite-size scaling property of the correlation ratio, the ratio of the correlation functions with different distances. We apply this generalized PCC algorithm to the two-dimensional 6-state clock model. We also discuss the combination of the cluster algorithm and the extended ensemb...
متن کاملNovel Quantum Monte Carlo Algorithms for Fermions
Recent research shows that the partition function for a class of models involving fermions can be written as a statistical mechanics of clusters with positive definite weights. This new representation of the model allows one to construct novel algorithms. We illustrate this through models consisting of fermions with and without spin. A Hubbard type model with both attractive and repulsive inter...
متن کاملQuantum Monte Carlo Simulations: Algorithms, Limitations and Applications
A survey is given of Quantum Monte Carlo methods currently used to simulate quantum lattice models. The formalisms employed to construct the simulation algorithms are sketched. The origin of fundamental (minus sign) problems which limit the applicability of the Quantum Monte Carlo approach is shown to be a generic feature of the formalisms used to devise the simulation algorithms. A brief overv...
متن کاملPopulation Monte Carlo algorithms
We give a cross-disciplinary survey on “population” Monte Carlo algorithms. In these algorithms, a set of “walkers” or “particles” is used as a representation of a high-dimensional vector. The computation is carried out by a random walk and split/deletion of these objects. The algorithms are developed in various fields in physics and statistical sciences and called by lots of different terms – ...
متن کاملMonte Carlo sampling methods using Markov chains and their applications
A generalization of the sampling method introduced by Metropolis et al. (1953) is presented along with an exposition of the relevant theory, techniques of application and methods and difficulties of assessing the error in Monte Carlo estimates. Examples of the methods, including the generation of random orthogonal matrices and potential applications of the methods to numerical problems arising ...
