Test of variational approximation for φ quantum chain by Monte Carlo simulation
نویسنده
چکیده
We report results of a Monte Carlo simulation of the φ4 quantum chain. In order to enhance the efficiency of the simulation we combine multigrid simulation techniques with a refined discretization scheme. The resulting accuracy of our data allows for a significant test of an analytical approximation based on a variational ansatz. While the variational approximation is well reproduced for a large range of parameters we find significant deviations for low temperatures and large couplings.

Test of variational approximation for +4 quantum chain by Monte Carlo simulation
We report results of a Monte Carlo simulation of the @4 quantum chain. In order to enhance the efficiency of the simulation we combine muItig~d simulation techniques with a refined discretization scheme.

متن کاملVariational Particle Approximations
Monte Carlo methods provide a powerful framework for approximating probability distributions with a set of stochastically sampled particles. In this paper, we rethink particle approximations from the perspective of variational inference, where the particles play the role of variational parameters. This leads to a deterministic version of Monte Carlo in which the particles are selected to optimi...
متن کاملTitrating Polyelectrolytes { Variational Calculations and Monte Carlo Simulations
Variational methods are used to calculate structural and thermodynamical properties of a titrating polyelectrolyte in a discrete representation. In the variational treatment, the Coulomb potentials are emulated by harmonic repulsive forces between all monomers; the force constants are used as variational parameters. The accuracy of the variational approach is tested against Monte Carlo data. Ex...
متن کاملProbabilistic analysis of stability of chain pillars in Tabas coal mine in Iran using Monte Carlo simulation
Performing a probabilistic study rather than a determinist one is a relatively easy way to quantify the uncertainty in an engineering design. Due to the complexity and poor accuracy of the statistical moment methods, the Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) method is wildly used in an engineering design. In this work, an MCS-based reliability analysis was carried out for the stability of the chain pill...
متن کاملVariational Bayes with synthetic likelihood
Synthetic likelihood is an attractive approach to likelihood-free inference when an approximately Gaussian summary statistic for the data, informative for inference about the parameters, is available. The synthetic likelihood method derives an approximate likelihood function from a plug-in normal density estimate for the summary statistic, with plug-in mean and covariance matrix obtained by Mon...
