Topic:
Metropolis algorithm: application to the Ising model
Description:
This talk is directed to non-specialists and students. The Metropolis is a very famous algorithm which can used to simulate random variables. The Ising model is a model coming from statistical physics. After defining the notions needed, I will present the Metropolis algorithm and apply it to the simulation of the Ising model.
