  • To address the challenge of combining results from biased multicanonical simulations.
  • To develop a method for accurately determining normalization coefficients between overlapping biased sampling regions.

Main Methods:

  • Applying an additional bias to the numerically generated sample space.
  • Developing and employing a simple iterative procedure for coefficient determination.
  • Utilizing overlapping biasing regions.
