Wavelet formulation of path integral Monte Carlo

Art E. Cho, J. D. Doll, David L. Freeman

Abstract

A wavelet formulation of path integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) is constructed. Comparison with Fourier path integral Monte Carlo is presented using simple one-dimensional examples. Wavelet path integral Monte Carlo exhibits a few advantages over previous methods for PIMC. The efficiency of the current method is at least comparable to other techniques.
