The largely heuristic algorithm in Eq. (9) does not appear to map easily on to these though. It is possible that one of these more sophisticated algorithms could further improve the efficiency of the simulation.
19. As noted by Español and Warren (Ref. 15), there is no difficulty of interpretation of the stochastic differential equations - the Itô and Stratonovich interpretations coincide. This also means that there are no diffusion tensor gradient terms in the first order Euler scheme.

28. The observation that v=D within the errors is a coincidence dependent on the particular simulation parameters; v and D move in different directions as γ is varied.
