48. Alternatively, D could be computed exactly for this potential using TST and dynamical corrections for each of the saddle planes, so that the kinetic Monte Carlo simulation would be based on the correct rate constants for each type of escape event (single jump to left, single jump to right, double jump to left, etc.) out of each unique minimum.
