Free energy calculations: an efficient adaptive biasing potential method.
We develop an efficient sampling and free energy calculation technique within the adaptive biasing potential (ABP) framework. By mollifying the density of states we obtain an approximate free energy and an adaptive bias potential that is computed directly from the population along the coordinates of the free energy. Because of the mollifier, the bias potential is "nonlocal", and its gradient ad...
متن کاملExistence, uniqueness and convergence of a particle approximation for the Adaptive Biasing Force process
We study a free energy computation procedure, introduced in [4, 7], which relies on the long-time behavior of a nonlinear stochastic differential equation. This nonlinearity comes from a conditional expectation computed with respect to one coordinate of the solution. The long-time convergence of the solutions to this equation has been proved in [10], under some existence and regularity assumpti...

Title of dissertation: CONVERGENCE OF ADAPTIVE FINITE ELEMENT METHODS Khamron Mekchay, Doctor of Philosophy, 2005 Dissertation directed by: Professor Ricardo H. Nochetto Department of Mathematics We develop adaptive finite element methods (AFEMs) for elliptic problems, and prove their convergence, based on ideas introduced by Dörfler [7], and Morin, Nochetto, and Siebert [15, 16]. We first stud...
متن کاملConvergence Rates of Markov Chain Approximation Methods for Controlled Regime-Switching Diffusions with Stopping
This work summarizes our recent work on rates of convergence of Markov chain approximation methods for controlled switching diffusions, in which both continuous dynamics and discrete events coexist. The discrete events are formulated by continuous-time Markov chains to delineate random environment and other random factors that cannot be represented by diffusion processes. The cost function is o...
متن کاملConvergence rates of Markov chain approximation methods for controlled diffusions with stopping
This work is concerned with rates of convergence of numerical methods using Markov chain approximation for controlled diffusions with stopping (the first exit time from a bounded region). In lieu of considering the associated finite difference schemes for Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equations, a purely probabilistic approach is used. There is an added difficulty due to the boundary condition,...
