We considered a higher-dimensional extension for the replica-exchange Wang-Landau algorithm to perform a random walk in the energy and magnetization space of the two-dimensional Ising model. This hybrid scheme combines the advantages of…
Combining traditional Wang-Landau sampling for multiple replica systems with an exchange of densities of states between replicas, we describe a general framework for simulations on massively parallel Petaflop supercomputers. The advantages…
We describe the study of thermodynamics of materials using replica-exchange Wang-Landau (REWL) sampling, a generic framework for massively parallel implementations of the Wang-Landau Monte Carlo method. To evaluate the performance and…
In finite-size scaling analyses of Monte Carlo simulations of second-order phase transitions one often needs an extended temperature/energy range around the critical point. By combining the replica-exchange algorithm with cluster updates…
We implement a Wang-Landau sampling technique in quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) for the purpose of calculating the Renyi entanglement entropies and associated mutual information. The algorithm converges an estimate for an analogue to the density…
Flat histogram methods, such as Wang--Landau sampling, provide a means for high-throughput calculation of phase diagrams of atomistic/lattice model systems. Many parallelisation schemes with varying degrees of complexity have been proposed…
Monte Carlo simulations using Wang-Landau sampling are performed to study three-dimensional chains of homopolymers on a lattice. We confirm the accuracy of the method by calculating the thermodynamic properties of this system. Our results…
We propose a flat-histogram Monte Carlo method to efficiently sample fractal landscapes such as escape time functions of open chaotic systems. This is achieved by using a random-walk step which depends on the height of the landscape via the…
Wang and Landau proposed recently, a simple and flexible non-Boltzmann Monte Carlo method for estimating the density of states, from which the macroscopic properties of a closed system can be calculated. They demonstrated their algorithm by…
Monte Carlo simulation using the Wang-Landau algorithm has been performed in an one-dimensional Lebwohl-Lasher model. Both one-dimensional and two-dimensional random walks have been carried out. The results are compared with the exact…
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…
Monte Carlo simulation has been performed in one-dimensional Lebwohl-Lasher model and two dimensional XY-model using the Wang-Landau and the Wang-Landau-Transition-Matrix Monte Carlo methods. Random walk has been performed in the…
Coupled, dynamical spin-lattice models provide a unique test ground for simulations investigating the finite-temperature magnetic properties of materials under the direct influence of the lattice vibrations. These models are constructed by…
We propose a new Monte Carlo algorithm for the free energy calculation based on configuration space sampling. We implement this algorithm for Ising model. Comparison with the exact free energy shows an excellent agreement. We analyse the…
We show that a histogram maintained throughout the Wang-Landau (WL) sampling for the energy entries visited during the simulation could be used to make the simulated density of states (DOS) converge. The method is easy to be implemented to…
We analyze the convergence properties of the Wang-Landau algorithm. This sampling method belongs to the general class of adaptive importance sampling strategies which use the free energy along a chosen reaction coordinate as a bias. Such…
The replica exchange method is a powerful tool for overcoming slow relaxation in molecular simulations, but its efficiency depends strongly on the choice of the number and interval of replicas and their exchange probabilities. Here, we…
For a second-order phase transition the critical energy range of interest is larger than the energy range covered by a canonical Monte Carlo simulation at the critical temperature. Such an extended energy range can be covered by performing…
