Abstract
An improved approach to the simulation of strongly fluctuating Coulomb gases, based on a local lattice technique introduced by Maggs and Rossetto, is described and then tested in a problem of biophysical interest. The low acceptance rates for charged particle moves in regimes of physical interest are increased to a serviceable level by use of a coupled particle-field update procedure in the new method. Sensitivity of the results to lattice discretization effects is also studied using asymmetric lattices.
