A general formalism is developed to construct a Markov chain model that converges to a one-dimensional map in the infinite population limit. Stochastic fluctuations are therefore internal to the system and not externally specified. For…

We investigate an alternative to the Sequential Propagator Method used in Lattice QCD calculations of semileptonic form factors. We replace the sequential propagator with a stochastic propagator so that, in principle, all momentum and sink…
