abstract = {<p>This note introduces a method for sampling Ising models with mixed boundary conditions. As an application of annealed importance sampling and the Swendsen-Wang algorithm, the method adopts a sequence of intermediate distributions that keeps the temperature fixed but turns on the boundary condition gradually. The numerical results show that the variance of the sample weights is relatively small.</p>},
