The Monte Carlo simulation estimates the probability of different outcomes in a process that cannot easily be predicted because of the potential for random variables.
Monte Carlo methods have become indispensable in simulating light transport due to their flexibility in handling complex phenomena such as scattering, absorption, and emission in heterogeneous media.
The Wang-Landau algorithm (Wang and Landau (2001)) is a recent Monte Carlo method that has generated much interest in the Physics literature due to some spectacular simulation performances. The ...
Monte Carlo methods have become a cornerstone in nuclear systems analysis, particularly for sensitivity studies, which determine how variations in nuclear data can affect key reactor parameters. These ...
SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, Vol. 30, No. 6 (Dec., 1993), pp. 1558-1573 (16 pages) The convergence of the Monte Carlo method for numerical integration can often be improved by replacing random ...
