Statistical physics

a Monte Carlo method that estimates a system's density of states directly by a random walk in energy that is pushed toward a flat histogram.

In statistical physics, Wang-Landau algorithm refers to a Monte Carlo method that estimates a system's density of states directly by a random walk in energy that is pushed toward a flat histogram. This meaning comes from Wang (2001) in Physical Review Letters.[1]
