Wang-Landau simulations with non-flat distributions
arXiv:2102.00842 · doi:10.1016/j.cpc.2021.108071
Abstract
We show how the well-known Wang-Landau method can be modified to produce non-flat distributions. Through the choice of a suitable profile this can lead to an increase in efficiency for some systems. Examples for such an enhancement are provided.
