Abstract

Reports on the combination of multicanonical sampling and jump walking methods to provide an effective means of overcoming quasiergodicity in Monte Carlo simulations. Infrequent storage of configurations generated during a long multicanonical sampling; Systems used to compare multicanonical jump walking with regular jump walking and straight multicanonical ensemble sampling.
