Abstract

We describe an approach to use multiple-histogram methods in combination with static, biased Monte Carlo simulations. To illustrate this, we computed the force-extension curve of an athermal polymer from multiple histograms constructed in a series of static Rosenbluth Monte Carlo simulations. From the complete histogram of the distribution function of the end-to-end vectors of the polymer chain, we can efficiently compute the polymer force-extension curve.
