  "abstract": "We derive a formula that expresses the density of states of a system with continuous degrees of freedom as a function of microcanonical averages of squared gradient and Laplacian of the Hamiltonian. This result is then used to propose a novel flat-histogram Monte Carlo algorithm, which is tested on a system of interacting Lennard-Jones particles and the O(n) vector spin model.",
