Vlugt [31] Pruned-Enriched Rosenbluth Method (3) Configurational-Bias Monte Carlo Thijs J.H. Vlugt [29] Pruned-Enriched Rosenbluth Method (1) Example: N = 2, k =2, βμ ex = ln W = RR W min = 2 W max = 5 W min = 15 W max = 5 Grassberger (1997); grow chains using Rosenbluth Method: W = 6 j=1 exp [ βu 2j ] 6 N 5 i=3 j=1 exp [ βu ij ] 5 = N 5 i=3 j=1 exp [ βu ij ] 5 p(ln(w)) ln(w) Two additional elements: Enriching. If W>W max during the construction of the chain, k copies of the chain are generated, each with a weight of W/k. This is a deterministic process. The growth of those chains is continued. Pruning. If W<W min during the construction of the chain, with a probability of 1/2 the chain is pruned resulting in W =. If the chain survives, the Rosenbluth weight is multiplied by 2 and the growth of the chain is continued.
