Extremal statistics in computer simulation
With the advent of the digital computer it is becomin~ more and more common to simulate the operation of rather sophisticated communication systems on the computer. The performance of systems under various types of operating conditions may be evaluated quite readily and economically prior to actual field usage. The average error rate serves as a very common measure of performance for digital co...
متن کاملChain models in computer simulation
This paper presents an extension of a previously-described framework for the specification and manipulation of models of systems. The original framework and its extension include a convenient application programming interface (API), and this paper describes examples of the use of this API in the context of graphical simulation. These examples include the simulation of objects whose definition i...
متن کاملComputer Simulation of the Static and Dynamic Properties of a Polymer Chain
We have carried out computer simulations of the statics and dynamics of an isolated model polymer chain with excluded volume in a solvent acting as a heat bath. We find that the distribution function for the separation of a pair of beads scales as the number of beads N to the power Y and that edge effects are small. The dynamical correlation functions, such as that of the end-to-end vector, sca...
متن کاملAccurate statistics of a flexible polymer chain in shear flow.
We present exact and analytically accurate results for the problem of a flexible polymer chain in shear flow. Under such a flow the polymer tumbles, and the probability distribution of the tumbling times tau of the polymer decays exponentially as approximately exp(-alphatau/tau_{0}) (where tau_{0} is the longest relaxation time). We show that for a Rouse chain this nontrivial constant alpha can...
متن کاملSemiflexible polymer solutions. I. Phase behavior and single-chain statistics
We study the thermodynamics and single-chain statistics of wormlike polymer solutions with Maier–Saupe-type interactions using self-consistent-field ~SCF! theory. The SCF equations are derived using a systematic field-theoretical approach which yields the SCF equations as the lowest order approximation, but permits fluctuation corrections to be incorporated. We solve the SCF equations using the...
