“Adsorption and folding transitions of a polymer chain: Applications of the Wang-Landau and partition function zeros methods”

Abstract:
The Wang-Landau (WL) algorithm is a Monte Carlo simulation technique providing a direct computation of the density of states (and thus the partition function) of a many-body system. The partition function encodes all thermodynamic information about a system, and thus, its construction allows for an efficient determination of phase behavior…
