Ordering processes in fcc-alloys with composition A3B (like Cu3Au,Cu3Pd,CoPt3, etc.) are investigated by Monte Carlo simulation within a class of lattice models based on nearest-neighbor (NN) and second-neighbor (NNN) interactions. Using an atom–vacancy exchange algorithm, we study the growth...

Bayesian inference for diffusion processes faces the same problem as likelihood-based inference: the transition density is not tractable, and as a consequence neither the likelihood nor the posterior density are computable. A natural solution adopted by several authors consists in considering...
