Efficient stochastic sampling of first-passage times with applications to self-assembly simulations.
Models of reaction chemistry based on the stochastic simulation algorithm (SSA) have become a crucial tool for simulating complicated biological reaction networks due to their ability to handle extremely complicated networks and to represent noise in small-scale chemistry. These methods can, however, become highly inefficient for stiff reaction systems, those in which different reaction channel...
متن کاملFirst passage times in homogeneous nucleation and self-assembly.
Motivated by nucleation and molecular aggregation in physical, chemical, and biological settings, we present a thorough analysis of the general problem of stochastic self-assembly of a fixed number of identical particles in a finite volume. We derive the backward Kolmogorov equation (BKE) for the cluster probability distribution. From the BKE, we study the distribution of times it takes for a s...
متن کاملStochastic coagulation and fragmentation: incommensurability and first passage times
We develop a fully stochastic theory for coagulation and fragmentation in a finite system with a maximum cluster size constraint. The process is modeled using a high-dimensional Master equation for the probabilities of cluster configurations. For certain realizations of total mass and maximum cluster sizes, we are able to find exact analytical results for the expected equilibrium cluster distri...
متن کاملGeneralized Inverses, Stationary Distributions and Mean First Passage Times with applications to Perturbed Markov Chains
Abstract In an earlier paper (Hunter, 2002) it was shown that mean first passage times play an important role in determining bounds on the relative and absolute differences between the stationary probabilities in perturbed finite irreducible discrete time Markov chains. Further when two perturbations of the transition probabilities in a single row are carried out the differences between the sta...
متن کاملFirst assembly times and equilibration in stochastic coagulation-fragmentation.
We develop a fully stochastic theory for coagulation and fragmentation (CF) in a finite system with a maximum cluster size constraint. The process is modeled using a high-dimensional master equation for the probabilities of cluster configurations. For certain realizations of total mass and maximum cluster sizes, we find exact analytical results for the expected equilibrium cluster distributions...
