Stochastic simulation lattice

When one implements an MC stochastic dynamics algorithm in this model (consisting of random-hopping moves of the monomers by one lattice constant in a randomly chosen lattice direction), the chosen set of bond vectors induces the preservation of chain connectivity as a consequence of excluded volume alone, which thus allows for efficient simulations. This class of moves... 

In this subsection, we are not concerned with simulations which study the motion of single adsorbate atoms for realistic choices of the corrugation potential, but again restrict attention to simplified lattice gas models, where diffusion events are modelled by stochastic hops of adatoms from one lattice site to the next The description of the dynamics hence again is done... 

Simulation of the random walks on a site lattice is presented in Figs 2.13 and 2.14 they show that stochastic trajectories deviate systematically from the stationary solution [16]. Alongside those which correspond to the damping oscillations, above mentioned catastrophes are also observed and characterized by A b = 0, and Aa - oo. These results demonstrate indirectly...

Instead of mobilizing large scale Monte Carlo simulations of the visitation probability P as a function of walklength n, Pk can be evaluated (as a function of time) using the stochastic master equation [60]. Suppose at time f = 0 a random walker is positioned with unit probability at a site m in the interior of the lattice (away from the boundary of the system). For t > 0 this probability evolves among the lattice sites as determined by Eq. (4.3). An entropy-like quantity... 

These results show that simplified molecular dynamics simulations can qualitatively account for micellization quite well. However, the computation time necessary for even such simple models is too great to allow the model to be useful for the calculation of other micellar properties or phase behavior or for an in-depth study of solubilization. Stochastic dynamics simulations, in which the solvent effects are accounted for through a mean-field stochastic term in the equations of motion, can also be used to study surfactant self-assembly [22], but the most efficient approach to date is still the one based on lattice Monte Carlo simulations, which are discussed next. 

Noncontinuous approach can be deterministic or stochastic. In deterministic approaches, such as the molecular dynamics (MD) method and the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM), the particle or molecule s trajectory, velocity, and intermolecular collision are calculated or simulated in a deterministic manner. In the stochastic approaches, such as the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method, randomness is introduced into the solution variables.
