Numerical computations for the Schramm-Loewner evolution (Q846926)

The author gives a detailed review of two numerical methods that are related to the Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE). The first method is to simulate SLE itself, i.e., the simulation of random curves in the plane when a random process is used for the driving function in the Loewner equation. The second one is to take a family of random curves in the plane and compute the random driving process that generates them trough the Loewner equation. Most of the material in the paper has appeared elsewhere, but here we have a nice `how-to' guide. The paper consists of seven sections. In Section 2 we have an introduction to the SLE with its explanation given by the figures. Then, in the next Section, the Loewner equation is given with its short analysis and also two general types of simulations that the authors would like to do, but their numerical studies only use tilted slits and vertical slits for the explicit solutions for the Loewner equation. In Section 4 we have the algorithm and the computations of curve when the driving function is Brownian motion (the approach is: from the driving function to the curve). In next section we have the considerations of inverse problem. In the sixth section we have the examples of algorithms that can seed up both the computations of curve having the driving function and the computations of driving function given a curve. The paper is crowned in the last section where the reader can also find a list of open problem. It seems that the paper isn't well edited because after many given equations there aren't dots or tails and the reader don't know where is the end of many sentences. But this is a technical problem.
