Abstract
We present a new analysis of Langevin simulation techniques for lattice field theories, including a general discussion of errors and algorithm speed. We introduce Fourier techniques that greatly accelerate simulations on large lattices. We also introduce a new technique for including quark vacuum-polarization corrections that admits any number of flavors, odd or even, without the need for nested Monte Carlo calculations. Our analysis is supported by a variety of numerical experiments.
