Time to write an algorithm or two.

I would like to contribute a Monte Carlo algorithm for the approximation of PI (see here). Of course, I would implement my own version. Is this okay?

Go for it. #1613 (comment)

I'll make a program calculating the probability of a particular sum of the throw of two dice using simulation.

I made it.

Hi Dibakar, I'm happy to help with the heat bath or Markov Chain algorithm if it is still not done. Let me know!

This looks like an interesting field to work in.

Changing the name of this issue because we now have Monte Carlo algorithms but could use other simulation algorithms.

Show some

I was thinking of contributing a Monte Carlo algorithm to simulate the game of craps, would this be ok?

Would the algorithm be different than the others that already exist? #1613 (comment)

The algorithm wouldn't be much different, just used under a different scenario than calculating pi. Are there any algorithms in particular you are looking for?

Thank you so much, everybody, for the great contributions! In my opinion, optimization and simulation are two parallel arrows in computation. In general, we prefer to use simulation to go from mathematical models (e.g, Lagrangian, Hamiltonian in a physical system) to data generation (for example sampling through algorithms like Markov chain Monte Carlo). But, if we have very large data and we don't know the pattern (Mathematical equation or data structure(linear/nonlinear)), we prefer to use optimization (for example in machine learning). Optimization, in general, goes from data toward a pattern/model/equation. Including 'simulation' together with other algorithms like optimization is really a great idea. Salute to all contributors!

Would a simulation of a one-dimensional cellular automata that takes a ruleset as input and outputs the image of some number of generations from one single pixel be ok?
