The Metropolis Algorithm
Isabel Beichl,Francis Sullivan +1 more
TL;DR: The Metropolis Algorithm can be formulated as an instance of the rejection method used for generating steps in a Markov chain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Faster Monte Carlo simulations.
TL;DR: For Monte Carlo simulations of systems of size [ital M], either kinetic simulations or equilibrium simulations that use the method of Bortz, Kalos, and Liebowitz, the best computer time per event has been [ital O]([ital M][sup 1/2]).
Journal ArticleDOI
Watchful Waiting
TL;DR: Although there are certainly revolutionary advances in technology, their effect accumulates slowly and the ultimate impact often contradicts the initial prognostications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Approximating the Permanent via Importance Sampling with Application to the Dimer Covering Problem
Isabel Beichl,Francis Sullivan +1 more
TL;DR: An extremely efficient Monte Carlo algorithm for approximating the permanent of a certain 0?1 matrix is described, inspired by results of Soules on convergence of Sinkhorn balancing to obtain a maximum entropy, doubly stochastic matrix.
Journal ArticleDOI
The importance of importance sampling
Isabel Beichl,Francis Sullivan +1 more
TL;DR: Importance sampling is an underappreciated Monte Carlo technique that is designed to reduce the variance of the estimators for a given-size sample and the authors have used it with great success.
