Monte Carlo Methods, Basics

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kalos, Malvin H. / Whitlock, Paula A., PUBLISHER: Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, This introduction to Monte Carlo ong>Methodsong> seeks to identify and study ong>theong> unifying elements that underlie ong>theong>ir effective application. It focuses on two basic ong>theong>mes. ong>Theong> first is ong>theong> importance of random walks as ong>theong>y occur both in natural stochastic systems and in ong>theong>ir relationship to integral and differential equations. ong>Theong> second ong>theong>me is that of variance reduction in general and importance sampling in particular as a technique for efficient use of ong>theong> ong>methodsong>. Random walks are introduced with an elementary example in which ong>theong> modelling of radiation transport arises directly from a schematic probabilistic description of ong>theong> interaction of radiation with matter. Building on that example, ong>theong> relationship between random walks and integral equations is outlined. ong>Theong> applicability of ong>theong>se ideas to oong>theong>r problems is shown by a clear and elementary introduction to ong>theong> solution of ong>theong> Schrodinger equation by random walks. ong>Theong> detailed discussion of variance reduction includes Monte Carlo evaluation of finite-dimensional integrals. Special attention is given to importance sampling, partly because of its intrinsic interest in quadrature, partly because of its general usefulness in ong>theong> solution of integral equations. One significant feature is that Monte Carlo ong>Methodsong> treats ong>theong> "Metropolis algorithm" in ong>theong> context of sampling ong>methodsong>, clearly distinguishing it from importance sampling. Physicists, chemists, statisticians, maong>theong>maticians, and computer scientists will find Monte Carlo ong>Methodsong> a complete and stimulating introduction.

As a consequence, post-ong>warong> policies have failed in implementation eiong>theong>r by generating property speculation or by hindering urban development.
