On the application of the Critical Minimum Energy Subspace method to disordered systems

Abstract

We discuss the recent application to strongly disordered systems of the Critical Minimum Energy Subspace (CMES) method, used to limit the energy subspace of the Wang-Landau sampling. We compare with our results on the 3D Random Field Ising Model obtained by a multi-range Wang-Landau simulation in the whole energy range. We point out at some problems that may arise when applying the CMES scheme to models having a complex free energy landscape. PACS numbers: 02.70.Tt,02.70.Rr,05.50.+q, 64.60.Cn, 64.60.Fr, 75.10.Hk
