Numerical tricks for studying large rare fluctuations

R. Mannella

Dipartimento di Fisica, Università di Pisa and INFM, piazza Torricelli 2, Pisa, Italy


Abstract
I present some tricks useful in the simulation of stochastic differential equations, with particular attention to the simulation of rare fluctuations, a topic of interest in the light of recent theoretical work on optimal paths. The "best algorithm" and some problems connected to the treatment of the boundaries will be discussed.
