Foil 36 Simulated Tempering -- a New Approach to Monte Carlo Optimization/Simulated Annealing

From Physical Optimization and Physical Computation CPSP713 Case studies in Computational Science -- Spring Semester 1996. by Geoffrey C. Fox
A new method Simulated Tempering by Marinari ( Rome, Syracuse) and Parisi (Rome)
Conventional Monte Carlo methods do not work well for Random Field Ising Model = RFIM
Spins si live on 3D lattice
si = +/-1 to be determined
Fixed Magnetic Field
hi = |h| ri
|h| = 1
ri = +/- 1 with random probability 1/2
