A large deviations analysis of certain qualitative properties of parallel tempering and infinite swapping algorithms
J. D. Doll, Paul Dupuis, Pierre Nyquist
Parallel tempering, or replica exchange, is a popular method for simulating complex systems. The idea is to run parallel simulations at different temperatures, and at a given swap…
On Performance Measures for Infinite Swapping Monte Carlo Methods
J. D. Doll, Paul Dupuis
We introduce and illustrate a number of performance measures for rare-event sampling methods. These measures are designed to be of use in a variety of expanded ensemble techniques…
Rare-Event Sampling: Occupation-Based Performance Measures for Parallel Tempering and Infinite Swapping Monte Carlo Methods
J. D. Doll, Nuria Plattner, David L. Freeman +2
In the present paper we identify a rigorous property of a number of tempering-based Monte Carlo sampling methods, including parallel tempering as well as partial and infinite swapp…
On the Infinite Swapping Limit for Parallel Tempering
Paul Dupuis, Yufei Liu, Nuria Plattner +1
Parallel tempering, also known as replica exchange sampling, is an important method for simulating complex systems. In this algorithm simulations are conducted in parallel at a ser…
An Infinite Swapping Approach to the Rare-Event Sampling Problem
Nuria Plattner, J. D. Doll, Paul Dupuis +3
We describe a new approach to the rare-event Monte Carlo sampling problem. This technique utilizes a symmetrization strategy to create probability distributions that are more highl…
Convergence Characteristics of the Cumulant Expansion for Fourier Path Integrals
Sharif D. Kunikeev, David L. Freeman, J. D. Doll
The cumulant representation of the Fourier path integral method is examined to determine the asymptotic convergence characteristics of the imaginary-time density matrix with respec…
