CODE FOR SIMULATING CHORDAL SLE (fast_sle)

This is the package "fast_sle" which contains routines and a sample driver program for generating samples of chordal SLE (Schramm-Loewner evolution). The algorithm used is explained in "A fast algorithm for simulating the chordal Schramm-Loewner evolution" . This code is released under the GNU GPL (General Public License). The file that can be downloaded (fast_sle1.0.tar.gz) is a gzipped tar file, so after downloading it you do
gunzip fast_sle1.0.tar.gz
tar xvf fast_sle1.0.tar
Then read the file README.

CODE FOR SIMULATING SELF-AVOIDING WALKS

This is a collection of library routines and a sample driver program for doing Monte Carlo simulations of the self-avoiding walk using the pivot algorithm. It implements the version of the algorithm introduced in "A faster implementation of the pivot algorithm for self-avoiding walks." J. Stat. Phys. 106, 407-429 (2002) This code is released under the GNU GPL (General Public License). The file that can be downloaded (SAW_pivot1.0.tar.gz) is a gzipped tar file, so after downloading it you do
gunzip SAW_pivot1.0.tar.gz
tar xvf SAW_pivot1.0.tar
Then read the file README.
