On a variant of random homogenization theory: convergence of the residual process and approximation of the homogenized coefficients

Frédéric LegollFlorian Thomines — 2014

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

We consider the variant of stochastic homogenization theory introduced in [X. Blanc, C. Le Bris and P.-L. Lions, 343 (2006) 717–724.; X. Blanc, C. Le Bris and P.-L. Lions, 88 (2007) 34–63.]. The equation under consideration is a standard linear elliptic equation in divergence form, where the highly oscillatory coefficient is the composition of a periodic matrix with a stochastic diffeomorphism. The homogenized limit of this problem has been identified in [X. Blanc, C. Le Bris and P.-L. Lions, 343...

Theoretical and numerical comparison of some sampling methods for molecular dynamics

Eric CancèsFrédéric LegollGabriel Stoltz — 2007

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

The purpose of the present article is to compare different phase-space sampling methods, such as purely stochastic methods (Rejection method, Metropolized independence sampler, Importance Sampling), stochastically perturbed Molecular Dynamics methods (Hybrid Monte Carlo, Langevin Dynamics, Biased Random Walk), and purely deterministic methods (Nosé-Hoover chains, Nosé-Poincaré and Recursive Multiple Thermostats (RMT) methods). After recalling some theoretical convergence properties for the...

Derivation of Langevin dynamics in a nonzero background flow field

Matthew DobsonFrédéric LegollTony LelièvreGabriel Stoltz — 2013

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

We propose a derivation of a nonequilibrium Langevin dynamics for a large particle immersed in a background flow field. A single large particle is placed in an ideal gas heat bath composed of point particles that are distributed consistently with the background flow field and that interact with the large particle through elastic collisions. In the limit of small bath atom mass, the large particle dynamics converges in law to a stochastic dynamics. This derivation follows the ideas of [P. Calderoni,...

Multiscale Finite Element approach for “weakly” random problems and related issues

Claude Le BrisFrédéric LegollFlorian Thomines — 2014

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

We address multiscale elliptic problems with random coefficients that are a perturbation of multiscale deterministic problems. Our approach consists in taking benefit of the perturbative context to suitably modify the classical Finite Element basis into a deterministic multiscale Finite Element basis. The latter essentially shares the same approximation properties as a multiscale Finite Element basis directly generated on the random problem. The specific reference method that we use is the Multiscale...

Symmetric parareal algorithms for hamiltonian systems

Xiaoying DaiClaude Le BrisFrédéric LegollYvon Maday — 2013

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

The parareal in time algorithm allows for efficient parallel numerical simulations of time-dependent problems. It is based on a decomposition of the time interval into subintervals, and on a predictor-corrector strategy, where the propagations over each subinterval for the corrector stage are concurrently performed on the different processors that are available. In this article, we are concerned with the long time integration of Hamiltonian systems. Geometric, structure-preserving integrators are...

Analysis of a prototypical multiscale method coupling atomistic and continuum mechanics

Xavier BlancClaude Le BrisFrédéric Legoll — 2005

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

In order to describe a solid which deforms smoothly in some region, but non smoothly in some other region, many multiscale methods have recently been proposed. They aim at coupling an atomistic model (discrete mechanics) with a macroscopic model (continuum mechanics). We provide here a theoretical ground for such a coupling in a one-dimensional setting. We briefly study the general case of a convex energy, and next concentrate on a specific example of a nonconvex energy, the Lennard-Jones case....
