Histograms and All That

  • Chapter
Computer Simulations of Surfaces and Interfaces

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((NAII,volume 114))

Abstract

In this lecture we first discuss “static” single- and multiple-histogram reweighting methods and then move on to “dynamic” updating methodologies related to histogramming. Specifically we will consider the multicanonical approach and tempering methods. The methods are illustrated with applications to systems exhibiting first-order phase transitions and spin glasses.
