A Guide to Monte Carlo Simulations in Statistical Physics

Landau, David, Binder, Kurt

Description

This introduction to computer simulation methods in physics emphasises Monte Carlo Methods, where random numbers are used to study complex systems. It is ideal for graduate students and researchers wishing to learn about simulation, which has become a third pillar of scientific methods, complementing theory and experiment. 1. Introduction; 2. Some Necessary Background; 3. Simple Sampling Monte Carlo Methods; 4. Importance Sampling Monte Carlo Methods; 5. More on Importance Sampling Monte Carlo Methods for Lattice Systems; 6. Off-Lattice Models; 7. Reweighting Methods; 8. Quantum Monte Carlo Methods; 9. Monte Carlo Renormalization Group Methods; 10. Non-Equilibrium and Irreversible Processes; 11. Lattice Gauge Models: A Brief Introduction; 12. A Brief Review of Other Methods of Computer Simulation; 13. Monte Carlo Simulations at the Periphery of Physics and Beyond; 14. Monte Carlo Studies of Biological Molecules; 15. Emerging Trends; Index.
