Dynamics of a Bricklayer Model: Multi-Walker Realizations of True Self-Avoiding Motion

Abstract We investigate a multi-walker generalization of the true self-avoiding walk, formulated as a bricklayer model where agents collectively build a growing interface. We investigate the coupled partial differential equations that describe the hydrodynamic limit of this process. Stochastic simulations of N walkers confirm these analytic predictions in the large- N limit, revealing a characteristic parabolic density profile. These results provide a continuum description for the dynamics of non-reversible Monte Carlo algorithms, offering insights into the relaxation mechanisms of collective sampling schemes.

We investigate the coupled partial differential equations that describe the hydrodynamic limit of this process. Stochastic simulations of N walkers confirm these analytic predictions in the large- N limit, revealing a characteristic parabolic density profile.
