Coding:

1. Monte Carlo Simulation:

% Defining the boundary points

for i=1:10
for j=1:10
if(i==1||i==10||j==1||j==10)

C(1,:)=500;
C(10,:)=500;
C(:,1)=300;
C(:,10)=300;
C(1,1)=400;
C(1,10)=400;
C(10,1)=400;
C(10,10)=400;
else
C(i,j)=0;
end
end
end
%C;

% Taking intermediate grid points and iterating

for i=2:9
for j=2:9
x=i;
y=j;
avgT=0;

for m=1:10000

conv=1;

while(conv>0)

% 2-dimensional Random Walk

r = rand(1,1);

if(r < 0.25)

x=x-1;
 elseif (r < 0.50)
x=x+1;

elseif (r < 0.75)

y=y+1;

else
y=y-1;

end

if(x<1 || x>10 || y<1 || y>10)

end
continue;
end

% Whether boundary is reached

if(C(x,y)==300 || C(x,y)==400|| C(x,y)==500)

d(m)=C(x,y);
break;
else
continue;
end

end

if(m==10)
C(i,j)=avgT/m;

% Plotting the Mesh

for i=1:10
for j=1:10
Px(i)=i;
Py(j)=j;
Temp(i,j)=C(i,j);
end
end

function f = laplace_eqn(Tn)

v=Tn;
for i=2:9
for j=2:9
v(i,j)=0.25*(v(i-1,j)+v(i+1,j)+v(i,j+1)+v(i,j-1));
end
end

f=v;

b. Main file:

for i=1:10
for j=1:10
if(i==1||i==10||j==1||j==10)

C(1,:)=500;
C(10,:)=500;
C(:,1)=300;
C(:,10)=300;
C(1,1)=400;
C(1,10)=400;
C(10,1)=400;
C(10,10)=400;
else
 C(i,j)=450;
end
end
end

% Running the iterations until consecutive matrix difference norm becomes less than
tolerance

for i=1:50000

soln=feval('laplace_eqn',C);
Cn=soln;
C=soln;
if(norm(Cn-Co)<.01)
break;
