The stability of a galaxy model is most easily assessed through N-body simulation. Particle-mesh codes have been widely used for this purpose, since they enable the largest numbers of particles to be employed. We show that the functional…

The reproducibility of experiments is one of the main principles of the scientific method. However, numerical N-body experiments, especially those of planetary systems, are currently not reproducible. In the most optimistic scenario, they…

We demonstrate that testing for self-similarity in scale-free simulations provides an excellent tool to quantify the resolution at small scales of cosmological N-body simulations. Analysing two-point correlation functions measured in…

We subject to an N-body numerical investigation our analysis of Paper I on the survival of stellar clusters undergoing rapid mass loss. We compare analytical tracks of bound mass-fraction {\it vs} star formation efficiency $\epsilon$ to…

We propose a new numerical procedure to simulate a single dark halo of any size and mass in a hierarchical framework coupling the extended Press-Schechter formalism (EPSF) to N-body simulations. The procedure consists of assigning…

We present a method of including galaxy formation in dissipationless N-body simulations. Galaxies that form during the evolution are identified at several epochs and replaced by single massive soft particles. This allows one to produce…

We investigate the structure of the dark matter halo formed in three different cold dark matter scenarios. We performed N-body simulations of formation of 13 cluster-sized halos. In all runs, density cusps proportional to $r^{-1.5}$…

Spherical symmetry is ubiquitous in nature. It's therefore unfortunate that spherical system simulations are so hard, and require complete spheres with millions of interacting particles. Here we introduce an approach to model spherical…

We present results of fully self-consistent N-body simulations of the motion of four globular clusters moving in the inner region of their parent galaxy. With regard to previous simplified simulations, we confirm merging and formation of an…

Thin stellar discs on both galactic and nuclear, sub-kpc scales are believed to be fragile structures that would be easily destroyed in major mergers. In turn, this makes the age-dating of their stellar populations a useful diagnostics for…

Fast N-body PM simulations with a small number of time steps such as FastPM or COLA have been remarkably successful in modeling the galaxy statistics, but their lack of small scale force resolution and long time steps cannot give accurate…

Performing a shell model calculation for heavy nuclei has been a long-standing problem in nuclear physics. Here we propose one possible solution. The central idea of this proposal is to take the advantages of two existing models, the…

Understanding the large-scale structure of the universe remains a fundamental challenge in cosmology, with computational simulations providing critical insights into non-linear structure growth. Particularly, computational simulations…

In this review we discuss Cosmological N-Body codes with a special emphasis on Particle Mesh codes. We present the mathematical model for each component of N-Body codes. We compare alternative methods for computing each quantity by…

We develop a galaxy assignment scheme that populates dark matter halos with galaxies by tracing the most bound member particles (MBPs) of simulated halos. Several merger-timescale models based on analytic calculations and numerical…

We test the history of structure formation from redshift 1 to today by matching galaxies from VIPERS and SDSS with dark matter haloes in the MultiDark SMDPL N-body simulation. We first show that the standard subhalo abundance matching…

In this work, we study the stellar-dynamical hardening of unequal mass supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries in the central regions of merging galactic nuclei. We present a comprehensive set of direct $N$-body simulations of the problem,…

Recently, we have shown how current cosmological N-body codes already follow the fine grained phase-space information of the dark matter fluid. Using a tetrahedral tesselation of the three-dimensional manifold that describes perfectly cold…

After two decades of direct dynamical simulation of large-scale structure in the universe, it is safe to say the subject is now mature. Still, there are parts of the problem that are less well developed than others. In general, the…

We have two basic methods of modeling matter. We can treat matter as a continuum and solve differential equations or we can treat it discretely and solve massive N-body problems. The differential equations produced by meaningful problems…
