In [[physics]], the '''numerical sign problem''' refers to the bad [[statistics|statistical]] convergence

of a numerical integration procedure, applied in conjunction with a

[[many-particle theory]] possessing a complex or non-positive semidefinite

weight function. The difficulty relates to the oscillatory nature

of the weight function in a specific parameter range, induced
