TLDR
In this paper, the behavior of chains of very many molecules is investigated by solving a restricted random walk problem on a cubic lattice in three dimensions and a square lattice, subject to the restrictions of no crossing or doubling back.Abstract:
The behavior of chains of very many molecules is investigated by solving a restricted random walk problem on a cubic lattice in three dimensions and a square lattice in two dimensions. In the Monte Carlo calculation a large number of chains are generated at random, subject to the restrictions of no crossing or doubling back, to give the average extension of the chain 〈R2〉Av as a function of N, the number of links in the chain. A system of weights is used in order that all possible allowed chains are counted equally. Results for the true random walk problem without weights are obtained also.read more

RASPA: molecular simulation software for adsorption and diffusion in flexible nanoporous materials
TL;DR: RASPA as discussed by the authors is a software package for simulating adsorption and diffusion of molecules in flexible nanoporous materials, which implements the latest state-of-the-art algorithms for molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo (MC) in various ensembles including symplectic/measure-preserving integrators, Ewald summation, configurational-bias MC, continuous fractional component MC, reactive MC and Baker's minimisation.
Sigma-point kalman filters for probabilistic inference in dynamic state-space models
TL;DR: This work has consistently shown that there are large performance benefits to be gained by applying Sigma-Point Kalman filters to areas where EKFs have been used as the de facto standard in the past, as well as in new areas where the use of the EKF is impossible.

Configurational bias Monte Carlo: a new sampling scheme for flexible chains
Jörn Ilja Siepmann,Daan Frenkel +1 more
TL;DR: A new type of Monte Carlo move is introduced that makes it possible to carry out large scale conformational changes of the chain molecule in a single trial move in a novel approach that allows efficient numerical simulation of systems consisting of flexible chain molecules.

New approach to Monte Carlo calculation of the free energy: Method of expanded ensembles
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a new effective Monte Carlo (MC) procedure for direct calculation of the free energy in a single MC run, where the partition function of the expanded ensemble is introduced including a sum of canonical partition functions with a set of temperatures and additive factors.
