We propose new control variates for variance reduction in estimation of mean values using the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm. Traditionally, states that are rejected in the Metropolis-Hastings ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The Metropolis-adjusted Langevin algorithm (MALA) is a Metropolis-Hastings method for approximate sampling from continuous distributions. We ...

Many of the selections are now familiar, finely tuned, heavily used tools. The Metropolis algorithm for Monte Carlo methods, the simplex method in linear programming, the Fast Fourier Transform for ...

The D-Wave computer is currently the latest link of a long chain of computers designed for the solution of optimization problems. In what sense does it realize quantum computation? We describe the ...
