R68-30 Monte Carlo Solution of Partial Differential Equations Using a Hybrid Computer

This paper describes work carried out by the author while working for his Ph.D. degree. The work was done at the University of Arizona, Tucson, under the supervision of Prof. G. Kron, using Arizona Statistical Repetitive analog Computer (ASTRAC II). The ultra-high speed of ASTRAC II permitted the author of obtain Monte Carlo solutions of partial differential equations at a much higher rate than previously reported and to continuously display these solutions.
