Multiple ‘‘time step’’ Monte Carlo

چکیده
We propose a sampling scheme to reduce the CPU time for Monte Carlo simulations of atomic systems. Our method is based on the separation of the potential energy into parts that are expected to vary at different rates as a function of coordinates. We perform n moves that are accepted or rejected according to the rapidly varying part of the potential, and the resulting configuration is accepted or rejected according to the slowly varying part. We test our method on a Lennard-Jones system. We show that use of our method leads to significant savings in CPU time. We also show that for moderate system sizes the scaling of CPU time with system size can be improved ~for n540 the scaling is predominantly linear up to 1000 particles!. © 2002 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1512645#

A New Approach for Monte Carlo Simulation of RAFT Polymerization
In this work, based on experimental observations and exact theoretical predictions, the kinetic scheme of RAFT polymerization is extended to a wider range of reactions such as irreversible intermediate radical terminations and reversible transfer reactions. The reactions which have been labeled as kinetic scheme are the more probable existing reactions as the theoretical point of view. The ...
متن کاملA diffusion Monte Carlo algorithm with very small time-step errors
We propose modifications to the simple diffusion Monte Carlo algorithm that greatly reduce the time-step error. The improved algorithm has a time-step error smaller by a factor of 70 to 300 in the energy of Be, Liz and Ne. For other observables the improvement is yet larger. The effective time step possible with the improved algorithm is typically a factor of a few hundred larger than the time ...

متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulation to Compare Markovian and Neural Network Models for Reliability Assessment in Multiple AGV Manufacturing System
We compare two approaches for a Markovian model in flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs) using Monte Carlo simulation. The model which is a development of Fazlollahtabar and Saidi-Mehrabad (2013), considers two features of automated flexible manufacturing systems equipped with automated guided vehicle (AGV) namely, the reliability of machines and the reliability of AGVs in a multiple AGV jobsho...
متن کاملA hybrid method for fast Monte Carlo simulation of diffuse reflectance from a multi-layered tissue model with tumor-like heterogeneities
We present a hybrid method to speed up the Monte Carlo simulation of diffuse reflectance from a multi-layered tissue model with finite-size tumor-like heterogeneities. The proposed method consists of two steps. In the first step, a set of photon trajectory information generated from a baseline Monte Carlo simulation is utilized to scale the exit weight and exit distance of survival photons for ...
متن کاملMultiple "time step" Monte Carlo simulations: application to charged systems with Ewald summation.
Recently, we have proposed an efficient scheme for Monte Carlo simulations, the multiple "time step" Monte Carlo (MTS-MC) [J. Chem. Phys. 117, 8203 (2002)] based on the separation of the potential interactions into two additive parts. In this paper, the structural and thermodynamic properties of the simple point charge water model combined with the Ewald sum are compared for the MTS-MC real-/re...
