Details of the simulation program

The bulk of the setup for the simulation concerns parsing and setting of the parameters. This occurs in the main() function, and is followed by a 45 line loop. The pseudo-code goes something like this:

-----------------------------------------------

• Periodic boundary conditions
• The pairing step
  • Greedy algorithm
  • Stable Marriage algorithm
  • Brute force
  • Hungarian algorithm
• The numerical step
  • Friction
• Determination of optimal step size
