Abstract
In this letter we propose a hybrid molecular dynamics/Monte Carlo (MD/ MC) method to simulate the statistical behavior of tethered and fluid membranes which does not suffer from severe slowing-down problems as i n conventional MC and MD methods. A parallel version of the algorithm allows for reliable determination of the scaling behavior of open and closed membranes. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics.
