The Wang-Landau algorithm aims at sampling from a probability distribution, while penalizing some regions of the state space and favoring others. It is widely used, but its convergence properties are still unknown. We show that for some…

It is shown in this work how the Wang-Landau algorithm can be parallelized through the concept of the micromagnetic ensemble, when the Hamiltonian contains both spin interaction and the external field terms, and thus energy-magnetization…
In this work we apply Wang-Landau simulations to a simple model which has exact solutions both in the microcanonical and canonical formalisms. The simulations were carried out by using an updated version of the Wang-Landau sampling. We…

We propose a new recursive procedure to estimate the microcanonical density of states in multicanonical Monte Carlo simulations which relies only on measurements of moments of the energy distribution, avoiding entirely the need for energy…
For a homogeneous system divisible into identical, weakly interacting subsystems, the muticanonical procedure can be accelerated if it is first applied to determine of the density of states for a single subsystem. This result is then…
