brownian_motion_simulation


brownian_motion_simulation, a Python code which simulates Brownian motion in an M-dimensional region.

Brownian motion is a physical phenomenon which can be observed, for instance, when a small particle is immersed in a liquid. The particle will move as though under the influence of random forces of varying direction and magnitude.

There is a mathematical idealization of this motion, and from there a computational discretization that allows us to simulate the successive positions of a particle undergoing Brownian motion.

Usage:

x = brownian_motion_simulation ( n, m, d, t )
