Y. Iba et K. Hukushima, Identification of metastable states in finite temperature simulations: A self-organization approach, PROG T PH S, (138), 2000, pp. 462-463
How can we identify "metastable states" from a simulation of a finite size
system at finite temperatures? Here we propose a self-organization approach
to this problem based on a finite mixture model and Expectation-Mazimizati
on (EM) algorithm and apply it to the analysis of Monte Carlo simulation of
Ising spin glass models.
