New parallelizable schemes for integrating the Dissipative Particle Dynamics with Energy Conservation

This work presents new parallelizable numerical schemes for the integration of Dissipative Particle Dynamics with Energy conservation (DPDE). So far, no numerical scheme introduced in the literature is able to correctly preserve the energy over long times and give rise to small errors on average properties for moderately small timesteps, while being straightforwardly parallelizable. We present in this article two new methods, both straightforwardly parallelizable, allowing to correctly preserve the total energy of the system. We illustrate the accuracy and performance of these new schemes both on equilibrium and nonequilibrium parallel simulations.

Error analysis of the transport properties of Metropolized schemes

We consider in this work the numerical computation of transport coefficients for Brownian dynamics. We investigate the discretization error arising when simulating the dynamics with the Smart MC algorithm (also known as Metropolis-adjusted Langevin algorithm). We prove that the error is of order one in the time step, when using either the Green-Kubo or the Einstein formula to estimate the transport coefficients. We illustrate our results with numerical simulations.
