Steady state likelihood ratio sensitivity analysis for stiff kinetic Monte Carlo simulations

Journal Article Núñez, M. ; Vlachos, D. G. - Journal of Chemical Physics

Kinetic Monte Carlo simulation is an integral tool in the study of complex physical phenomena present in applications ranging from heterogeneous catalysis to biological systems to crystal growth and atmospheric sciences. Sensitivity analysis is useful for identifying important parameters and rate-determining steps, but the finite-difference application of sensitivity analysis is computationally demanding. Techniques based on the likelihood ratio method reduce the computational cost of sensitivity analysis by obtaining all gradient information in a single run. However, we show that disparity in time scales of microscopic events, which is ubiquitous in real systems, introduces drastic statistical noise into derivative estimates formore »« less

Acceleration and sensitivity analysis of lattice kinetic Monte Carlo simulations using parallel processing and rate constant rescaling

Journal Article Núñez, M. ; Robie, T. ; Vlachos, D. G. - Journal of Chemical Physics

Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulation provides insights into catalytic reactions unobtainable with either experiments or mean-field microkinetic models. Sensitivity analysis of KMC models assesses the robustness of the predictions to parametric perturbations and identifies rate determining steps in a chemical reaction network. Stiffness in the chemical reaction network, a ubiquitous feature, demands lengthy run times for KMC models and renders efficient sensitivity analysis based on the likelihood ratio method unusable. We address the challenge of efficiently conducting KMC simulations and performing accurate sensitivity analysis in systems with unknown time scales by employing two acceleration techniques: rate constant rescaling and parallelmore »« less

Monte Carlo investigation of the role of initial conditions on oxygen diffusion in planar YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 6+{ital c}}

Journal Article Pekalski, A ; Skwarek, K - Physical Review, B: Condensed Matter

We investigate the role played by initial preparation of the system on the diffusion of oxygen ions in YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 6+{ital c}} superconductors. We use the asymmetric, next-nearest-neighbors Ising model and standard Monte Carlo simulations. When initially only one sublattice is populated with oxygen ions, the system is in a one-domain state and the diffusion coefficient has, for all temperatures, a minimum when {ital c}=1. When the oxygen ions are initially put on both sublattices, two or more domains may form. This leads to the appearance of an additional diffusion mechanism and the tracer diffusion coefficient has a maximummore »« less

Efficient gradient estimation using finite differencing and likelihood ratios for kinetic Monte Carlo simulations

Journal Article McGill, Jacob A. ; Ogunnaike, Babatunde A. ; Vlachos, Dionisios G., E-mail: vlachos@udel.edu - Journal of Computational Physics

While many optimization and control methods for stochastic processes require gradient information from the process of interest, obtaining gradient information from experiments is prohibitively expensive and time-consuming. As a result, such information is often obtained from stochastic process simulations. Computing gradients efficiently and accurately from stochastic simulations is challenging, especially for simulations involving computationally expensive models with significant inherent noise. In this work, we analyze and characterize the applicability of two gradient estimation methods for kinetic Monte Carlo simulations: finite differencing and likelihood ratio. We developed a systematic method for choosing an optimal perturbation size for finite differencing and discuss,more »« less
