Abstract

The global algorithm of Random Walk on Spheres suggested by K.K. Sabelfeld is analysed and a kind of optimisation strategy is suggested. The algorithm is applied here to construct a functional version of this method which uses a multilinear interpolation. As an example we have chosen the biharmonic equation governing the bending of a thin elastic plate with the simply supported boundary, however generalizations to other equations can be carried out.
