We performed two-dimensional simulated tempering (ST) simulations of the two-dimensional Ising model with different lattice sizes in order to investigate the two-dimensional STs applicability to dealing with phase transitions and to study the crossover of critical scaling behavior. The external field, as well as the temperature, was treated as a dynamical variable updated during the simulations. Thus, this simulation can be referred to as Simulated Tempering and Magnetizing (STM). We also performed the Simulated Magnetizing (SM) simulations, in which the external field was considered as a dynamical variable and temperature was not. As has been discussed by previous studies, the ST method is not always compatible with first-order phase transitions. This is also true in the magnetizing process. Flipping of the entire magnetization did not occur in the SM simulations under $T_mathrm{c}$ in large lattice-size simulations. However, the phase changed through the high temperature region in the STM simulations. Thus, the dimensional extension let us eliminate the difficulty of the first-order phase transitions and study wide area of the phase space. We then discuss how frequently parameter-updating attempts should be made for optimal convergence. The results favor frequent attempts. We finally study the crossover behavior of the phase transitions with respect to the temperature and external field. The crossover behavior was clearly observed in the simulations in agreement with the theoretical implications.

We applied the simulated tempering and magnetizing (STM) method to the two-dimensional three-state Potts model in an external magnetic field in order to perform further investigations of the STMs applicability. The temperature as well as the external
field are treated as dynamical variables updated during the STM simulations. After we obtained adequate information for several lattice sizes $L$ (up to $160times 160$), we also performed a number of conventional canonical simulations of large lattices, especially in order to illustrate the crossover behavior of the Potts model in external field with increasing $L$. The temperature and external field for larger lattice size simulations were chosen by extrapolation of the detail information obtained by STM. We carefully analyzed the crossover scaling at the phase transitions with respect to the lattice size as well as the temperature and external field. The crossover behavior is clearly observed in the simulations in agreement with theoretical predictions.
Many proteins in cells are capable of sensing and responding to piconewton scale forces, a regime in which conformational changes are small but significant for biological processes. In order to efficiently and effectively sample the response of these
proteins to small forces, enhanced sampling techniques will be required. In this work, we derive, implement, and evaluate an efficient method to simultaneously sample the result of applying any constant pulling force within a specified range to a molecular system of interest. We start from Simulated Tempering in Force, whereby force is applied as a linear bias on a collective variable to the systems Hamiltonian, and the coefficient is taken as a continuous auxiliary degree of freedom. We derive a formula for an average collective-variable-dependent force, which depends on a set of weights, learned on-the-fly throughout a simulation, that reflect the limit where force varies infinitely quickly. These weights can then be used to retroactively compute averages of any observable at any force within the specified range. This technique is based on recent work deriving similar equations for Infinite Switch Simulated Tempering in Temperature, that showed the infinite switch limit is the most efficient for sampling. Here, we demonstrate that our method accurately and simultaneously samples molecular systems at all forces within a user defined force range, and show how it can serve as an enhanced sampling tool for cases where the pulling direction destabilizes states of low free-energy at zero-force. This method is implemented in, and will be freely-distributed with, the PLUMED open-source sampling library, and hence can be readily applied to problems using a wide range of molecular dynamics software packages.
We propose a new method for the determination of the weight factor for the simulated tempering method. In this method a short replica-exchange simulation is performed and the simulated tempering weight factor is obtained by the multiple-histogram rew
eighting techniques. The new algorithm is particularly useful for studying frustrated systems with rough energy landscape where the determination of the simulated tempering weight factor by the usual iterative process becomes very difficult. The effectiveness of the method is illustrated by taking an example for protein folding.
We propose a method to extend the fast on-the-fly weight determination scheme for simulated tempering to two-dimensional space including not only temperature but also pressure. During the simulated tempering simulation, weight parameters for temperat
ure-update and pressure-update are self-updated independently according to the trapezoidal rule. In order to test the effectiveness of the algorithm, we applied our proposed method to a peptide, chignolin, in explicit water. After setting all weight parameters to zero, the weight parameters were quickly determined during the simulation. The simulation realised a uniform random walk in the entire temperature-pressure space.
A new simulated tempering method, which is referred to as simulated tempering umbrella sampling, for calculating the free energy of chemical reactions is proposed. First principles molecular dynamics simulations with this simulated tempering were per
formed in order to study the intramolecular proton transfer reaction of malonaldehyde in aqueous solution. Conformational sampling in reaction coordinate space can be easily enhanced with this method, and the free energy along a reaction coordinate can be calculated accurately. Moreover, the simulated tempering umbrella sampling provides trajectory data more efficiently than the conventional umbrella sampling method.
