Abstract
We present a numerical simulation algorithm that is well suited for th e study of noise-induced transport processes. The algorithm has two ad vantages over standard techniques: (1) it preserves the property of de tailed balance for systems in equilibrium and (2) it provides an effic ient method for calculating nonequilibrium currents. Numerical results are compared with exact solutions from two different types of correla tion ratchets, and are used to verify the results of perturbation calc ulations done on a three-state ratchet.
