Abstract

A multicanonical update relation for calculation of the microcanonical entropy Smicro(E)S_{micro}(E) by means of the estimates of the inverse statistical temperature βS\beta_S, is proposed. This inverse temperature is obtained from the recently proposed statistical temperature weighted histogram analysis method (ST-WHAM). The performance of ST-WHAM concerning the computation of Smicro(E)S_{micro}(E) from canonical measures, in a model with strong free-energy barriers, is also discussed on the basis of comparison with the multicanonical simulation estimates.
