Heat Bath Efficiency with Metropolis-Type Updating
Alexei Bazavov🇺🇸 · Bernd A. Berg🇺🇸
Abstract
We illustrate for 4D SU(2) and U(1) lattice gauge theory that sampling with a biased Metropolis scheme is essentially equivalent to using the heat bath algorithm. Only, the biased Metropolis method can also be applied when an efficient heat bath algorithm does not exist.
