Approximation Potential 2. Analysis of Trial Probabilities

• What are pij and pji?

• Given that each elementary Markov step obeys detailed balance for the approximate potential…

  • …one can show that the “super-step” i ? j also obeys detailed balance (for the approximate potential)
  • very hard to analyze without this result
    • would have to consider all paths from i to j to get transition probability
