70 About the Stochastic Approach Formulating the Concepts Testing the Method against Exact Results Nuclear Pairing as a Stochastic Process Starting from now on we assume that the system evolves under the influence of Hamiltonian Ĥ in terms of the single-pair transitions K K We suggest that there exist a universal probability distribution depending on the transition energy only P K K = P( E K,K ); E K,K = E K E K In other words: we assume that single-pair transition probabilities are neither dependent on the particular configuration nor on the history of the process L L

120 About the Stochastic Approach Formulating the Concepts Testing the Method against Exact Results Comments and Conclusions The Lanczos approach has a natural limitations related to the present-day computer memory; the stochastic simulation is extremely fast and can go in principle up to infinity We would like to perform more detailed tests of the structure of the universal probability distribution The fact that such a probability distribution seems to exist, acting the same way independently of the structure of the Fock-space states looks to us of extreme importance The (small) discrepancies with respect to the exact solutions can be due to the inaccuracies of the elementary probability distribution and/or to a small non-markovian corrections
