Further empirical testing of the suitability of a nonrandom integration method for classical trajectory calculations

Abstract

A nonrandom method of approximating multidimensional integrals is compared to the traditional Monte Carlo method in the determination of average energy transfer values from classical trajectories. Two atom–diatomic molecule collision systems are studied. Estimates of error show that, for a given number of trajectories, the nonrandom method tends to be more accurate than the Monte Carlo method.
