Abstract
To tackle the sign problem in the simulations of systems having indefi nite or complex-valued measures, we propose a new approach which yield s statistical errors smaller than the crude Monte Carlo using absolute values of the original measures. The 1D complex-coupling Ising model is employed as an illustration.
