Phys Rev E Stat Nonlin Soft Matter Phys. 2005 Jun;71(6 Pt 2):066705. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevE.71.066705. Epub 2005 Jun 23.

Abstract

We report a self-adapting version of the Wang-Landau algorithm that is ideally suited for application to systems with a complicated structure of the density of states. Applications include determination of two-dimensional densities of states and high-precision numerical integration of sharply peaked functions on multidimensional integration domains.
