This paper discusses new simulation algorithms for stochastic chemical kinetics that exploit the linearity of the chemical master equation and its matrix exponential exact solution. These algorithms make use of various approximations of the matrix exponential to evolve probability densities in time. A sampling of the approximate solutions of the chemical master equation is used to derive accelerated stochastic simulation algorithms. Numerical experiments compare the new methods with the established stochastic simulation algorithm and the tau-leaping method.

Stochastic models of intracellular processes are subject of intense research today. For homogeneous systems, these models are based on the Chemical Master Equation, which is a discrete stochastic model. The Chemical Master Equation is often solved numerically using Gillespie’s exact stochastic simulation algorithm. This thesis studies the performance of another exact stochastic simulation strategy, which is based on the Random Time Change representation, and is more efficient for sensitivity analysis, compared to Gillespie’s algorithm. This method is tested on several models of biological interest, including an epidermal growth factor receptor model.
