3 3.0 Introduction Verlet algorithm Taylor expansion 相加 相减 ( t ) + O Verlet integrator is an order more accurate than integration by simple Taylor expansion alone, with the same term ΔΔtt.
4 3.0 Introduction Verlet algorithm is not self-starting,we will use velocity Verlet algorithm in molecular dynamics simulations. v ( ) v( ) velocity Verlet algorithm ( t) + a( t+ t) a t+ t = t + t+ O t ( ) ( 3 t ) + O
5 3.0 Introduction Probabilistic model ( unrepeatable results ) Consider the same system of particles as before when there is uncetainty, say rrrrrrrrrrrr ffffffffff RR ii, which has a Gaussian probability distribution with correlation function ( t) ( t' ) = 6 γktδ ( t t' ) R R γγ: friction coefficient i i B Langevin Equation: d ri dri m ( ) i + γ = f, 1,,3 i + Ri t i = dt dt V V V f ( ) i = rv r1, r, r,, i = xi yi zi Each particle's motion can be described by certain probabilities, derived from Fokker- Planck Equation.
6 3.0 Introduction (a) Wingless Locusts marching in the field. (b) A rotating colony of army ants. (c) A three-dimensional array of golden rays. (d) Fish are known to produce such vortices. (e) Before roosting, thousands of starlings producing a fascinating aerial display. (f) A herd of zebra. (g) People spontaneously ordered into traffic lanes as they cross a pedestrian bridge in large numbers. (h) Although sheep are known to move very coherently, just as the corresponding theory predicts, when simply hanging around (no motion), well developed orientational patterns cannot emerge.

7 3.0 Introduction
8 our primary goal: 3.0 Introduction to investigate the connection between probabilistic and deterministic models of the same phenomenon. Connection? probabilistic deterministic Micro view: single random process Macro view: (ensemble average) definite distribution function described by partial differential equation Looks paradoxical that a random process can be characterized by a definite equation But we know it is true from a lot of daily experience, such as coin tossing.
9 3.0 Introduction coin tossing many parameters unknown the initial orientation, velocity, and spin; the properties of the table surface; Various atomic defects, dislocations, grains, voids ~50% ~50% For single toss: no idea whether head or tail turns up. After a large number of tosses, proportion of heads or tails is ~0.5. With this example, it is not so surprising that there is a determinable distribution of probabilities which characterizes a random process.
10 3.0 Introduction Probabilistic model originates from Incompleteness of information e.g. coin tossing Parameters sensitivity --- tiny perturbation in input induces huge variation in output. e.g. In kinetics of gases, a slight change in the initial conditions would result in a tremendous change after many collisions. By an averaging of the solutions with varying initial conditions random processes can be modeled successfully.
11 3.0 Introduction in the following sections, Section D Brownian motion. An explicit expression of the probability w(m, ). Section 3. Simplified expression of w(m, ). Asymptotic Series, Laplace s Method Section 3.3 a difference equation for w(m, ) leads to a partial differential equation. Section 3.4 The connection between probability and differential equations.
12 3.1 Random Walk in One Dimension; Langevin s Equation In Brownian motion, small particles move about in liquid or gas. no possibility and no interest of computing the trajectory of each molecule. one wishes to have an average understanding of the phenomenon. The Roman Lucretius's ( 卢克莱修 ) described Brownian motion of dust in his scientific poem "On the ature of Things" (60 BC) Botanist Robert Brown in 187 studied pollen grains suspended in water. Albert Einstein in 1905 solved this problem.
13 3.1.1 An one dimension random walk model The minimum model of random walk: 1-D lattice model b = 1 a a Particle moves according to the following rules: Move in steps of a fixed length dx in a fixed time interval dt. The probability to the right p and to the left q=1-p. Goal: to obtain the probability w(m, ) m steps to the right of the origin the total steps Probability = number of observed events total number of events

Suppose that the particle p steps to the right, p>0 -p steps to the left Displacment m m = p - (-p) = p p = ( + m)/ m p p e.g. =1 -p=5 p=7 m= is even m is even. is odd m is odd For example, if =3, the possible values of m = -3, -1, 1, 3. if =4, the possible values of m = -4, -, 0,, 4.

22 3.1. Explicit solution Characteristic functions the characteristic function of any real-valued random variable defines its probability distribution. Let iθ i ( ) = ae + be λθ θ b = 1 a a λ ( ) ( θ ) = ae + be = a e + abe + b e iθ iθ iθ i0 iθ P ( m) m= m=0 m=- P ( ) = a a P ( ) 0 = ab ( ) P = bb these coefficients are the probability λθ = ae + be = e x = ± 1 iθ iθ iθx characteristic function ( ) mean
23 To extract the coefficient analytically, for example as m= λ ( ) ( θ ) 3.1. Explicit solution = ae + be = a e + abe + b e iθ iθ iθ i0 iθ P ( ) 1 = π ( ) iθ λ θ θ 1 = + + π e d ( ) iθ i0 iθ iθ a e abe b e e d 1 ( i0θ iθ i4θ = a e + abe + b e ) dθ π π π π 1 iθ i4θ = a dθ + ab e dθ + b e dθ π π π π = a π π π π π π Fourier transform θ
24 3.1. Explicit solution Generally, we extract the coefficient via Fourier transform π 1 i m P ( m) = θ λ ( θ) e dθ π π 1 ( iθ iθ) iθm = ae + be e dθ π 1 = π 1 = π 1 = π = 1 π π π π π k = 0 π π k = 0 π π p= 0 ( ) C a e be e dθ k iθ k k i θ k i θ m k ( ) C a e be e dθ k iθ k k iθk iθm k ( ) C ae b e e dθ p i θ p p iθ p i θ m p π p p iθ ( p m) Cp ab e d p= 0 π θ C p = C p p= k

27 General random walk model Consider a continuous 1-D random walk process of n steps we have recursion relation: convolution n = n 1 Pn 1 ( x) * p( x) ( ) ( ) ( ) P x P y p x y dy This means that the probability PP nn xx of a particle at x after n steps is PP nn 1 yy pp xx yy = 3.1. Explicit solution the probability of arriving at y in n 1 steps the probability of displacements x-y in one step.
