Abstract
We propose a method of determining the parameters of the kinetic curves of fluorescence decay for complex molecular systems which is based on simulation modeling (the Monte Carlo method). The simulation model serves as a powerful alternative approach to analytical description of experimental data. The problem of approximation of experimental data reduces to the evaluation of the unknown parameters of the simulation model using optimization algorithms. A comparative analysis of two optimization methods — the Nelder–Mead and Marquardt ones — is performed, taking as an example the models of the decay kinetics of fluorescence with allowance for migration and transfer of the energy of electronic excitation.
