Content
The LLR method is a novel algorithm that allows the evaluation of the density of states in lattice gauge theory. In this talk I will present our study of the ergodicity properties of the LLR algorithm for the model of Yang Mills SU(3). I will focus on the use of the replica exchange method as tool to alleviate the topological freeze-out of the algorithm.
