Abstract :
The floating random Monte Carlo method is presented as a means of solving Poisson´s equation. The mathematical basis of the floating random-walk method is the mean value theorem of potential theory in conjunction with Green´s function. The method is illustrated with two typical problems in rectangular and axisymmetric solution regions. The floating walks give a fairly accurate solution and require less time than the fixed random walks
