If necessary, special arrangements can be made to transfer large files.

Limited help assisting people with queries on my codes and papers is available only by electronic mail correspondence. Sorry, but given that this site has 1000's hits/day, I cannot mail out hardcopies of code or papers.

Categories of files in this / directory are

Most URLs have the same WWW and FTP paths under the main / directory, but all .html, .gif, and .jpg files are in or under http://www.ingber.com/ under WWW. Note that ingber.com provides the same access as www.ingber.com under WWW, and to most files via ftp.ingber.com under FTP. This is a UNIX system, and all file names are case sensitive.

Files that end in .gz (gzip), .zip (zip), or .exe (DOS) are in binary format. Therefore, before retrieving these files, be sure your browser is set to handle binary transfer.

Note that files that contain a .ps are PostScript files (after expanding as appropriate, which can result in an expansion by a factor of 10 for some files); these will require a PostScript viewer or printer. Portable Document Format files contain a .pdf and can be viewed with Adobe acroread or some PostScript viewers.

See utils_file_formats.txt for some links to information on gzip, PostScript, PDF, tar, and shar utilities. See utils_code.html for additional references to files and instructions for retrieval of utilities for DOS, MAC, UNIX, and VMS systems, e.g., access-via-email, ftpmail, ghostscript, gzip, pgp (containing my PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK), unshar, uudecode, unix2dos, zip, etc. Note that gzip will expand .gz, .Z, and .zip files (not .zip archives).

INDEXES/ACCESS TO ALL FILES/SUB-DIRECTORIES

00index.txt
A formatted ASCII version of the index.html homepage file, e.g., for downloading (in case you can't do this conveniently with your browser), especially for FTP. Many references to HTML files in .html files are translated to references to their ASCII (text) counterparts in such files prepared for FTP.

0files_a.html
0files_a.html contains an alphabetical ordering of publicly readable files under www.ingber.com/, giving size, date and time (GMT) of last modification. This file does not list other files stored under my accounts at other sites, as referenced in files given in this homepage.

0files_t.html
0files_t.html contains a modification-time ordering of publicly readable files under www.ingber.com/, giving size, date and time (GMT) of last modification. This file does not list other files stored under my accounts at other sites, as referenced in files given in this homepage.

netlinks.html
This file contains some links to other interesting sites.

private/index_private.html
private/ is a "blind" directory which cannot be viewed using `ls' or `dir', although files can be downloaded via WWW if you know their names.

NUCLEAR

Three papers from 1983-1986 calculated a contribution to the binding energy of nuclear matter induced by nonlinearities of realistic momentum-dependent nucleon-nucleon interactions, enhancing calculations I published in the 1960's. Those calculations used such interactions to detail properties of nucleon-nucleon scattering, deuteron bound state, nuclear matter, and neutron stars.

PATH-INTEGRAL

Papers markets84_statmech.pdf, markets91_interest.pdf and smni91_eeg.pdf contain an Appendix giving a compact derivation of the path-integral Lagrangian representation equivalent to the Langevin rate-equation and Fokker-Planck/Schroedinger-type representations for multivariate systems with nonlinear drifts and diffusions.

Sorry, but my non-Monte Carlo PATHINT and PATHTREE codes used for these multivariate nonlinear path-integral systems are not publicly available as is my ASA code.
