We consider the complexity of random ferromagnetic landscapes on the hypercube {±1} N given by Ising models on the complete graph with i.i.d. non-negative edge-weights. This includes, in particular, the case of Bernoulli disorder corresponding to the Ising model on a dense random graph G(N, p). Previous results had shown that, with high probability as N → ∞, the gradient search (energy-lowering) algorithm, initialized uniformly at random, converges to one of the homogeneous global minima (all-plus or all-minus). Here, we devise two modified algorithms tailored to explore the landscape at near-zero magnetizations (where the effect of the ferromagnetic drift is minimized).With these, we numerically verify the landscape complexity of random ferromagnets, finding a diverging number of (1-spin-flip-stable) local minima as N → ∞. We then investigate some of the properties of these local minima (e.g., typical energy and magnetization) and compare to the situation where the edge-weights are drawn from a heavy-tailed distribution.
