Abstract
We give a mathematical framework for temperature accelerated dynamics (TAD), an algorithm proposed by Sørensen and Voter in [J. Chem. Phys., 112 (2000), pp. 9599-9606] to efficiently generate metastable stochastic dynamics. Using the notion of quasi-stationary distributions, we propose some modifications to TAD. Then considering the modified algorithm in an idealized setting, we show how TAD can be made mathematically rigorous.
