Efficient transition path sampling for nonequilibrium stochastic dynamics.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The transition path sampling methodology is adapted to the efficient sampling of large fluctuations in nonequilibrium systems evolving according to Langevin's equations of motion. This technique is used to simulate the behavior of the bistable Maier-Stein system at noise intensities much lower than those previously possible.

Simulating rare events in equilibrium or nonequilibrium stochastic systems.
We present three algorithms for calculating rate constants and sampling transition paths for rare events in simulations with stochastic dynamics. The methods do not require a priori knowledge of the phase-space density and are suitable for equilibrium or nonequilibrium systems in stationary state. All the methods use a series of interfaces in phase space, between the initial and final states, t...
متن کاملImportance sampling and theory of nonequilibrium solvation dynamics in water
We have devised a novel importance sampling method for nonequilibrium processes. Like transition path sampling, the method employs a Monte Carlo procedure to confine or bias the search through trajectory space. In this way, molecular dynamics trajectories consistent with the nonequilibrium dynamics of interest are generated efficiently. Using results of this sampling, we demonstrate that statis...
متن کاملExcursions in Statistical Dynamics
Excursions in Statistical Dynamics by Gavin Earl Crooks Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry University of California at Berkeley Professor David Chandler, Chair There are only a very few known relations in statistical dynamics that are valid for systems driven arbitrarily far away from equilibrium by an external perturbation. One of these is the fluctuation theorem, which places conditions on the...
متن کاملEfficient rare event simulation by optimal nonequilibrium forcing
Rare event simulation and estimation for systems in equilibrium are among the most challenging topics in molecular dynamics. As was shown by Jarzynski and others, nonequilibrium forcing can theoretically be used to obtain equilibrium rare event statistics. The advantage seems to be that the external force can speed up the sampling of the rare events by biasing the equilibrium distribution towar...
متن کاملNonequilibrium Rare-Event Sampling
This paper by Berryman and Schilling [1] has been in the literature for a year now, and is a valuable addition to the battery of techniques available to study nonequilibrium processes by molecular simulation; but it seems not to have attracted much attention. In the challenging field of " rare events " , there are three broad target areas, of increasing degree of difficulty: (a) systems in equi...
