Title: Geometry Entrapment in
Walk-on-Subdomains Monte Carlo
One method of computing the electrostatic
energy of a biomolecule in a solution uses a continuum
representation of the solution via the Poisson-Boltzmann
equation. This can be solved in many ways, and we consider a
Monte Carlo method of our design that combines the
Walk-on-Spheres and Walk-on-Subdomains algorithms.
This
is joint work with John Thrasher, who is
currently my graduate student.
