Abstract: In this paper a new algorithm is presented that improves the efficiency of Wang and Landau algorithm or density of states (DOS) Monte Carlo simulations by employing rejected states. The algorithm is shown to have a performance superior to that of the original Wang-Landau [F. Wang and D. P. Landau, Phys. Rev. Lett. 86, 2050 (2001)] algorithm and the more recent configurational temperature DOS algorithm. The performance of the method is illustrated in the context of results for the Lennard-Jones fluid.
