Abstract
By combining two generalized-ensemble algorithms, the replica-exchange Wang-Landau (REWL) method and the multicanonical replica-exchange method (MUCAREM), we propose an effective simulation protocol to determine the density of states with high accuracy. The new protocol is referred to as REWL-MUCAREM, and REWL is first performed and then MUCAREM is performed. In order to verify the effectiveness of our protocol, we performed simulations of a square-lattice Ising model using the three methods, namely REWL, MUCAREM, and REWL-MUCAREM. The results showed that the density of states obtained by REWL-MUCAREM is more accurate than that is estimated by the two methods separately.
