Gibbs-Duhem integration pseudo-ensemble

Interesting connections between many of the methods discussed in the present chapter have been pointed out by Escobedo [54,55]. In particular, Escobedo suggests that Gibbs-Duhem integration, pseudo-ensembles, and the NPT + test particle method can be considered as low-order approximations of a histogram reweighting approach.

There are many different routes for calculating phase equilibria that are covered in detail in other chapters of this volume thermodynamic scaling Monte Carlo (chapter by Valleau), Gibbs-Duhem integration along coexistence lines (chapter by Kofke), and pseudo-ensemble methods (chapter by de Pablo and Escobedo). Thus these methods are not discussed here.
