Replica Monte Carlo Simulation (revisited)
نویسنده
چکیده
In 1986, Swendsen and Wang proposed a replica Monte Carlo algorithm for spin glasses [Phys. Rev. Lett. 57 (1986) 2607]. Two important ingredients are present, (1) the use of a collection of systems (replicas) at different of temperatures, but with the same random couplings, (2) defining and flipping clusters. Exchange of information between the systems is facilitated by fixing the τ spin (τ = σσ) and flipping the two neighboring systems simultaneously. In this talk, we discuss this algorithm and its relationship to replica exchange (also known as parallel tempering) and Houdayer’s cluster algorithm for spin glasses. We review some of the early results obtained using this algorithm. We also present new results for the correlation times of replica Monte Carlo dynamics in two and three dimensions and compare them with replica exchange.

Entropy sampling Monte Carlo, the replica method, and the classical Metropolis scheme were applied in numerical studies of the collapse transition in a simple face-centered cubic lattice polymer. The force field of the model consists of pairwise, contact-type, long-range interactions and a short-range potential based on the b-sheet definition assumed in the model. The ability to find the lowest...

متن کاملReplica-Exchange Molecular Dynamics on Hadoop Report
In most implementations, swaps are only considered for simulations with the nearest temperature. If the higher temperature simulation has lower energy than the lower temperature simulation, the exchange is automatically accepted. However, there is also a chance for the exchange even if this is not the case (the exponential term). These concept are similar to Monte-Carlo based optimization techn...
متن کاملApplication of Monte Carlo Simulation in the Assessment of European Call Options
In this paper, the pricing of a European call option on the underlying asset is performed by using a Monte Carlo method, one of the powerful simulation methods, where the price development of the asset is simulated and value of the claim is computed in terms of an expected value. The proposed approach, applied in Monte Carlo simulation, is based on the Black-Scholes equation which generally def...
