Guastella, Ivan; Fazio, Claudio; Sperandeo-Mineo, Rosa Maria – European Journal of Physics, 2012
A procedure modelling ideal classical and quantum gases is discussed. The proposed approach is mainly based on the idea that modelling and algorithm analysis can provide a deeper understanding of particularly complex physical systems. Appropriate representations and physical models able to mimic possible pseudo-mechanisms of functioning and having…

Morio, Jerome; Pastel, Rudy; Le Gland, Francois – European Journal of Physics, 2010
Monte Carlo simulations are a classical tool to analyse physical systems. When unlikely events are to be simulated, the importance sampling technique is often used instead of Monte Carlo. Importance sampling has some drawbacks when the problem dimensionality is high or when the optimal importance sampling density is complex to obtain. In this…

Argoti, A.; Fan, L. T.; Cruz, J.; Chou, S. T. – Chemical Engineering Education, 2008
The stochastic simulation of chemical reactions, specifically, a simple reversible chemical reaction obeying the first-order, i.e., linear, rate law, has been presented by Martinez-Urreaga and his collaborators in this journal. The current contribution is intended to complement and augment their work in two aspects. First, the simple reversible…
