Flat histogram simulation of lattice polymer systems - art. no. 056112

We demonstrate the use of an algorithm called the Flat Histogram sampling a lgorithm for the simulation of two-dimensional lattice polymer systems. The rmodynamic properties, such as the average energy or entropy and other phys ical quantities such as the end-to-end distance or radius of gyration can b e easily calculated using this method, The ground-state energy can also be determined. We also explore the accuracy and limitations of this method.
