Rare-event sampling for stochastic dynamics in network systems using cluster updates
A novel technique called conditional-path Monte Carlo (CPMC), inspired by loop algorithms from equilibrium condensed-matter physics, which generates a Markov chain of trajectories that all strictly respect the targeted macroscopic boundary conditions like the occurrence of a massive network failure.
