 Mathematics , 2013, Abstract: The adaptation of Crouzeix - Raviart finite element in the context of multiscale finite element method (MsFEM) is studied and implemented on diffusion and advection-diffusion problems in perforated media. It is known that the approximation of boundary condition on coarse element edges when computing the multiscale basis functions critically influences the eventual accuracy of any MsFEM approaches. The weakly enforced continuity of Crouzeix - Raviart function space across element edges leads to a natural boundary condition for the multiscale basis functions which relaxes the sensitivity of our method to complex patterns of perforations. Another ingredient to our method is the application of bubble functions which is shown to be instrumental in maintaining high accuracy amid dense perforations. Additionally, the application of penalization method makes it possible to avoid complex unstructured domain and allows extensive use of simpler Cartesian meshes.
 Mathematics , 2014, Abstract: We consider an elliptic system of equations on the torus $\left[ -\frac{L}{2}, \frac{L}{2} \right)^d$ with random coefficients $A$, that are assumed to be coercive and stationary. Using two different approaches we obtain moment bounds on the gradient of the corrector, independent of the domain size $L$. In the first approach we use Green function representation. For that we require $A$ to be locally H\"older continuous and distribution of $A$ to satisfy Logarithmic Sobolev inequality. The second method works for non-smooth (possibly discontinuous) coefficients, and it requires that statistics of $A$ satisfies Spectral Gap estimate.
 Mathematics , 2012, Abstract: This article is concerned with numerical methods to approximate effective coefficients in stochastic homogenization of discrete linear elliptic equations, and their numerical analysis --- which has been made possible by recent contributions on quantitative stochastic homogenization theory by two of us and by Otto. This article makes the connection between our theoretical results and computations. We give a complete picture of the numerical methods found in the literature, compare them in terms of known (or expected) convergence rates, and study them numerically. Two types of methods are presented: methods based on the corrector equation, and methods based on random walks in random environments. The numerical study confirms the sharpness of the analysis (which it completes by making precise the prefactors, next to the convergence rates), supports some of our conjectures, and calls for new theoretical developments.
 Statistics , 2014, Abstract: We present a nonparametric prior over reversible Markov chains. We use completely random measures, specifically gamma processes, to construct a countably infinite graph with weighted edges. By enforcing symmetry to make the edges undirected we define a prior over random walks on graphs that results in a reversible Markov chain. The resulting prior over infinite transition matrices is closely related to the hierarchical Dirichlet process but enforces reversibility. A reinforcement scheme has recently been proposed with similar properties, but the de Finetti measure is not well characterised. We take the alternative approach of explicitly constructing the mixing measure, which allows more straightforward and efficient inference at the cost of no longer having a closed form predictive distribution. We use our process to construct a reversible infinite HMM which we apply to two real datasets, one from epigenomics and one ion channel recording.
 Dominique Jeulin Image Analysis and Stereology , 2002, DOI: 10.5566/ias.v21.ps31-s40 Abstract: Basic random structure models (random sets and random function models) are introduced for the simulation of images and of microstructures. Their implementation requires the use of image analysis tools defined in mathematical morphology.They can be used for solving problems of physics of random media.
 Mathematics , 2013, Abstract: We follow up on our previous work [C. Le Bris, F. Legoll and A. Lozinski, Chinese Annals of Mathematics 2013] where we have studied a multiscale finite element (MsFEM) type method in the vein of the classical Crouzeix-Raviart finite element method that is specifically adapted for highly oscillatory elliptic problems. We adapt the approach to address here a multiscale problem on a perforated domain. An additional ingredient of our approach is the enrichment of the multiscale finite element space using bubble functions. We first establish a theoretical error estimate. We next show that, on the problem we consider, the approach we propose outperforms all dedicated existing variants of MsFEM we are aware of.
 Mathematics , 2015, Abstract: In the homogenization of divergence-form equations with random coefficients, a central role is played by the corrector. We focus on a discrete space setting and on dimension 3 and more. Completing the argument started in previous work, we identify the scaling limit of the corrector, which is akin to a Gaussian free field.
 D. Chakraborty Physics , 2008, DOI: 10.1140/epjb/e2008-00300-1 Abstract: We consider a class of inhomogeneous media known as composite media that is often encountered in experimental sciences and investigate the persistence probability of a random walker in such a system. Analytical and numerical results for the crossover time scales has been obtained for a composite system with two homogeneous components and three homogeneous components respectively.
 János Engl？nder Mathematics , 2007, DOI: 10.1214/07-PS120 Abstract: Spatial branching processes became increasingly popular in the past decades, not only because of their obvious connection to biology, but also because superprocesses are intimately related to nonlinear partial differential equations. Another hot topic in today's research in probability theory is random media', including the now classical problems on Brownian motion among obstacles' and the more recent random walks in random environment' and catalytic branching' models. These notes aim to give a gentle introduction into some topics in spatial branching processes and superprocesses in deterministic environments (sections 2-6) and in random media (sections 7-11).
 Physics , 2001, DOI: 10.1016/j.physa.2003.10.047 Abstract: We study phenomenological scaling theories of the polymer dynamics in random media, employing the existing scaling theories of polymer chains and the percolation statistics. We investigate both the Rouse and the Zimm model for Brownian dynamics and estimate the diffusion constant of the center-of-mass of the chain in such disordered media. For internal dynamics of the chain, we estimate the dynamic exponents. We propose similar scaling theory for the reptation dynamics of the chain in the framework of Flory theory for the disordered medium. The modifications in the case of correlated disordered are also discussed.
