Homework tasks

To obtain credits, it is necessary to solve

• 3 mandatory problems given by Milan Předota (Homeworks 1-3 at moodle)
• 1 mandatory problem given by Karel Houfek (Random walks on the 2D lattice, see below)
• 1 problem of your choice, you can choose either one of three problems given by Milan Předota (Homework 4 at moodle) or one of four problems below

Problems on Monte Carlo simulations:

• Random walks on the 2D lattice - deadline Nov 30, 2021
• Choose one of the following problems OR the last problem given by Milan Předota - deadline Jan 6, 2022
  • Critical temperature in the 2D Ising model
  • Percolation on various lattices
  • Forest fire simulated on the square lattice
  • Diffusion-limited aggregation in 2D

To solve the problems above you can use almost any programming language but I recommend to use Fortran, C/C++ or Rust for the best performance together with Gnuplot for plotting.
