Convergence of Monte Carlo Simulations to Equilibrium
arXiv:cond-mat/0008046 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.64.021104
Abstract
We give two direct, elementary proofs that a Monte Carlo simulation converges to equilibrium provided that appropriate conditions are satisfied. The first proof requires detailed balance while the second is quite general.
