Abstract

In this article, we review the generalised-ensemble algorithms. Three well-known methods, namely multicanonical algorithm, simulated tempering and replica-exchange method, are described first. Both Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics versions of the algorithms are presented. We then present further extensions of the above three methods. Finally, we discuss the relations among multicanonical algorithm, Wang–Landau method and metadynamics.
