I give a pedagogical introduction to the generalised Hybrid Monte Carlo and related algorithms. I shall explain why they work, how their performance depends upon the number of degrees of freedom and the correlation length, and how they can be tuned to reduce critical slowing down.

A hybrid conformational search algorithm (DMC) is described that combines a modified form of molecular dynamics with Metropolis Monte Carlo sampling, using the COSMIC(9O) force field. Trial configurations are generated by short bursts of high-temperature dynamics in which the initial kinetic energy
The probability of accepting a candidate move in the hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm can be increased by considering a transition to be between windows of several states at the beginning and end the trajectory, with a particular state within the selected window then being chrosen according to then Bolt
## Abstract A detailed comparison has been made of the performance of molecular dynamics and hybrid Monte Carlo simulation algorithms for calculating thermodynamic properties of 2D LennardβJonesium. The hybrid Monte Carlo simulation required an order of magnitude fewer steps than the molecular dyna
