We discuss Monte Carlo dynamics based on <N(sigma, Delta E)>_E, the (microcanonical) average number of potential moves which increase the energy by Delta E in a single spin flip. The microcanonical average can be sampled using Monte Carlo…
Conventional Monte Carlo simulations are stochastic in the sense that the acceptance of a trial move is decided by comparing a computed acceptance probability with a random number, uniformly distributed between 0 and 1. Here we consider the…
