A comparison of extremal optimization with flat-histogram dynamics for finding spin-glass ground states
Jian-Sheng Wang, Yutaka Okabe
We compare the performance of extremal optimization (EO), flat-histogram and equal-hit algorithms for finding spin-glass ground states. The first-passage-times to a ground state ar…
Comments on Sweeny and Gliozzi dynamics for simulations of Potts models in the Fortuin-Kasteleyn representation
Jian-Sheng Wang, Oner Kozan, Robert H. Swendsen
We compare the correlation times of the Sweeny and Gliozzi dynamics for two-dimensional Ising and three-state Potts models, and the three-dimensional Ising model for the simulation…
Binary tree summation Monte Carlo simulation for Potts models
Jian-Sheng Wang
In this talk, we briefly comment on Sweeny and Gliozzi methods, cluster Monte Carlo method, and recent transition matrix Monte Carlo for Potts models. We mostly concentrate on a ne…
Binary tree summation Monte Carlo method for Potts models
Jian-Sheng Wang, Oner Kozan, Robert H. Swendsen
We give a new sampling algorithm for the Potts model based on the Fortuin-Kasteleyn transformation. The method produces independent samples and sums up a large number of configurat…
