Intermittent maps of the interval are simple and widely-studied models for chaos with slow mixing rates, but have been notoriously resistant to numerical study. In this paper we present an effective framework to compute many ergodic properties of these systems, in particular invariant measures and mean return times. The framework combines three ingredients that each harness the smooth structure of these systems induced maps: Abel functions to compute the action of the induced maps, Euler-Maclaurin summation to compute the pointwise action of their transfer operators, and Chebyshev Galerkin discretisations to compute the spectral data of the transfer operators. The combination of these techniques allows one to obtain exponential convergence of estimates for polynomially growing computational outlay, independent of the order of the maps neutral fixed point. This enables numerical exploration of intermittent dynamics in all parameter regimes, including in the infinite ergodic regime.

A research frontier has emerged in scientific computation, wherein numerical error is regarded as a source of epistemic uncertainty that can be modelled. This raises several statistical challenges, including the design of statistical methods that enable the coherent propagation of probabilities through a (possibly deterministic) computational work-flow. This paper examines the case for probabilistic numerical methods in routine statistical computation. Our focus is on numerical integration, where a probabilistic integrator is equipped with a full distribution over its output that reflects the presence of an unknown numerical error. Our main technical contribution is to establish, for the first time, rates of posterior contraction for these methods. These show that probabilistic integrators can in principle enjoy the best of both worlds, leveraging the sampling efficiency of Monte Carlo methods whilst providing a principled route to assess the impact of numerical error on scientific conclusions. Several substantial applications are provided for illustration and critical evaluation, including examples from statistical modelling, computer graphics and a computer model for an oil reservoir.
The Equation-Free approach to efficient multiscale numerical computation marries trusted micro-scale simulations to a framework for numerical macro-scale reduction -- the patch dynamics scheme. A recent novel patch scheme empowered the Equation-Free approach to simulate systems containing shocks on the macro-scale. However, the scheme did not predict the formation of shocks accurately, and it could not simulate moving shocks. This article resolves both issues, as a first step in one spatial dimension, by embedding the Equation-Free, shock-resolving patch scheme within a classic framework for adaptive moving meshes. Our canonical micro-scale problems exhibit heterogeneous nonlinear advection and heterogeneous diffusion. We demonstrate many remarkable benefits from the moving patch scheme, including efficient and accurate macro-scale prediction despite the unknown macro-scale closure. Equation-free methods are here extended to simulate moving, forming and merging shocks without a priori knowledge of the existence or closure of the shocks. Whereas adaptive moving mesh equations are typically stiff, typically requiring small time-steps on the macro-scale, the moving macro-scale mesh of patches is typically not stiff given the context of the micro-scale time-steps required for the sub-patch dynamics.
The dynamic Laplace operator arises from extending problems of isoperimetry from fixed manifolds to manifolds evolved by general nonlinear dynamics. Eigenfunctions of this operator are used to identify and track finite-time coherent sets, which physically manifest in fluid flows as jets, vortices, and more complicated structures. Two robust and efficient finite-element discretisation schemes for numerically computing the dynamic Laplacian were proposed in Froyland & Junge (2018). In this work we consider higher-orde
We devise an explicit method to integrate $alpha$-stable stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with non-Lipschitz coefficients. To mitigate against numerical instabilities caused by unbounded increments of the Levy noise, we use a deterministic map which has the desired SDE as its homogenised limit. Moreover, our method naturally overcomes difficulties in expressing the Marcus integral explicitly. We present an example of an SDE with a natural boundary showing that our method respects the boundary whereas Euler-Maruyama discretisation fails to do so. As a by-product we devise an entirely deterministic method to construct $alpha$-stable laws.
We introduce and implement an importance-sampling Monte Carlo algorithm to study systems of globally-coupled oscillators. Our computational method efficiently obtains estimates of the tails of the distribution of various measures of dynamical trajectories corresponding to states occurring with (exponentially) small probabilities. We demonstrate the general validity of our results by applying the method to two contrasting cases: the driven-dissipative Kuramoto model, a paradigm in the study of spontaneous synchronization; and the conservative Hamiltonian mean-field model, a prototypical system of long-range interactions. We present results for the distribution of the finite-time Lyapunov exponent and a time-averaged order parameter. Among other features, our results show most notably that the distributions exhibit a vanishing standard deviation but a skewness that is increasing in magnitude with the number of oscillators, implying that non-trivial asymmetries and states yielding rare/atypical values of the observables persist even for a large number of oscillators.
