The multi-level Monte Carlo method proposed by Giles (2008) approximates the expectation of some functionals applied to a stochastic process with optimal order of convergence for the mean-square error. In this paper a modified multi-level Monte Carlo estimator is proposed with significantly reduced computational costs. As the main result, it is proved that the modified estimator reduces the computational costs asymptotically by a factor (p / α)2 if weak approximation methods of orders α and p are applied in the case of computational costs growing with the same order as the variances decay.

Artificial monitoring remains to be a major way to detect anomalous events in expressway tunnels. To estimate the reliability of artificial monitoring on anomalous events in expressway tunnels, the video surveillance and mobile inspection based reliability models of artificial monitoring on the anomalous event in the expressway tunnel were built, and Monte Carlo method was applied to calculate the probability and mean time to detect the anomalous event at the specific time. The results showed that the Monte Carlo method could simulate video surveillance and mobile inspection, and obtain the probability distribution and mean time of detecting anomalous events. The mean time to spot the anomalous event was in reverse relation with the number of inspectors, the time of mobile inspection, and the reliability probability of the monitoring pre-warning system in tunnels and was in positive relationships with the departure interval. Combined with the actual operation cost, the model serves as a basis for the artificial monitoring package.

AbstractAlgorithms of Monte Carlo method for estimating probabilistic moments of the parameter of time exponential asymptotics of particle flux with multiplication in a random medium are constructed. It was analytically and numerically shown that the asymptotics of the mean number of particles is close to an exponential one with the factor containing a summand proportional to square of time.

A Monte Carlo method is employed to investigate the properties of electron transport with considerations of electron-phonon scattering including intervalley scattering and intravalley scattering. Under different electric fields, the coupling relations between electrons and phonons are studied, and the behaviors of absorbing and releasing phonons from electrons are also analyzed. The results show the scattering events of absorbing phonons from electrons decrease with the increasing simulation time. At the same temperature, the mean free path of electron increases initially and then decreases with the increasing electric field intensity, and finally approaches an asymptotic value.

We study the behavior of the mean number of particles <n> as a function of the chemical potential μ in the two dimensional Hubbard model with both attractive and repulsive interaction, using a quantum Monte Carlo method. Working at U/t=10, 4 and −4 on lattices with 4×4, 6×6 and 8×8 sites, we do not find evidence of phase separation.

The conformational states of a semiflexible polymer enclosed in a volume V:=ℓ3 are studied as stochastic realizations of paths using the stochastic curvature approach developed in [Rev. E 100, 012503 (2019)], in the regime whenever 3ℓ/ℓp>1, where ℓp is the persistence length. The cases of a semiflexible polymer enclosed in a cube and sphere are considered. In these cases, we explore the Spakowitz–Wang–type polymer shape transition, where the critical persistence length distinguishes between an oscillating and a monotonic phase at the level of the mean-square end-to-end distance. This shape transition provides evidence of a universal signature of the behavior of a semiflexible polymer confined in a compact domain.
