Calculating averages with respect to probability measures on submanifolds is often necessary in various application areas such as molecular dynamics, computational statistical mechanics and Bayesian statistics. In recent years, various numerical schemes have been proposed in the literature to study this problem based on appropriate reversible constrained stochastic dynamics. In this paper we present and analyse a non-reversible generalisation of the projection-based scheme developed by one of the authors [ESAIM: M2AN, 54 (2020), pp. 391-430]. This scheme consists of two steps - starting from a state on the submanifold, we first update the state using a non-reversible stochastic differential equation which takes the state away from the submanifold, and in the second step we project the state back onto the manifold using the long-time limit of an ordinary differential equation. We prove the consistency of this numerical scheme and provide quantitative error estimates for estimators based on finite-time running averages. Furthermore, we present theoretical analysis which shows that this scheme outperforms its reversible counterpart in terms of asymptotic variance. We demonstrate our findings on an illustrative test example.

Probability measures supported on submanifolds can be sampled by adding an extra momentum variable to the state of the system, and discretizing the associated Hamiltonian dynamics with some stochastic perturbation in the extra variable. In order to a void biases in the invariant probability measures sampled by discretizations of these stochastically perturbed Hamiltonian dynamics, a Metropolis rejection procedure can be considered. The so-obtained scheme belongs to the class of generalized Hybrid Monte Carlo (GHMC) algorithms. We show here how to generalize to GHMC a procedure suggested by Goodman, Holmes-Cerfon and Zappa for Metropolis random walks on submanifolds, where a reverse projection check is performed to enforce the reversibility of the algorithm for large timesteps and hence avoid biases in the invariant measure. We also provide a full mathematical analysis of such procedures, as well as numerical experiments demonstrating the importance of the reverse projection check on simple toy examples.
The periodization of a stationary Gaussian random field on a sufficiently large torus comprising the spatial domain of interest is the basis of various efficient computational methods, such as the classical circulant embedding technique using the fas t Fourier transform for generating samples on uniform grids. For the family of Matern covariances with smoothness index $ u$ and correlation length $lambda$, we analyse the nonsmooth periodization (corresponding to classical circulant embedding) and an alternative procedure using a smooth truncation of the covariance function. We solve two open problems: the first concerning the $ u$-dependent asymptotic decay of eigenvalues of the resulting circulant in the nonsmooth case, the second concerning the required size in terms of $ u$, $lambda$ of the torus when using a smooth periodization. In doing this we arrive at a complete characterisation of the performance of these two approaches. Both our theoretical estimates and the numerical tests provided here show substantial advantages of smooth truncation.
This article is concerned with the discretisation of the Stokes equations on time-dependent domains in an Eulerian coordinate framework. Our work can be seen as an extension of a recent paper by Lehrenfeld & Olshanskii [ESAIM: M2AN, 53(2):585-614, 20 19], where BDF-type time-stepping schemes are studied for a parabolic equation on moving domains. For space discretisation, a geometrically unfitted finite element discretisation is applied in combination with Nitsches method to impose boundary conditions. Physically undefined values of the solution at previous time-steps are extended implicitly by means of so-called ghost penalty stabilisations. We derive a complete a priori error analysis of the discretisation error in space and time, including optimal $L^2(L^2)$-norm error bounds for the velocities. Finally, the theoretical results are substantiated with numerical examples.
Science and engineering problems subject to uncertainty are frequently both computationally expensive and feature nonsmooth parameter dependence, making standard Monte Carlo too slow, and excluding efficient use of accelerated uncertainty quantificat ion methods relying on strict smoothness assumptions. To remedy these challenges, we propose an adaptive stratification method suitable for nonsmooth problems and with significantly reduced variance compared to Monte Carlo sampling. The stratification is iteratively refined and samples are added sequentially to satisfy an allocation criterion combining the benefits of proportional and optimal sampling. Theoretical estimates are provided for the expected performance and probability of failure to correctly estimate essential statistics. We devise a practical adaptive stratification method with strata of the same kind of geometrical shapes, cost-effective refinement satisfying a greedy variance reduction criterion. Numerical experiments corroborate the theoretical findings and exhibit speedups of up to three orders of magnitude compared to standard Monte Carlo sampling.

The context of this paper is the simulation of parameter-dependent partial differential equations (PDEs). When the aim is to solve such PDEs for a large number of parameter values, Reduced Basis Methods (RBM) are often used to reduce computational co sts of a classical high fidelity code based on Finite Element Method (FEM), Finite Volume (FVM) or Spectral methods. The efficient implementation of most of these RBM requires to modify this high fidelity code, which cannot be done, for example in an industrial context if the high fidelity code is only accessible as a black-box solver. The Non Intrusive Reduced Basis method (NIRB) has been introduced in the context of finite elements as a good alternative to reduce the implementation costs of these parameter-dependent problems. The method is efficient in other contexts than the FEM one, like with finite volume schemes, which are more often used in an industrial environment. In this case, some adaptations need to be done as the degrees of freedom in FV methods have different meenings. At this time, error estimates have only been studied with FEM solvers. In this paper, we present a generalisation of the NIRB method to Finite Volume schemes and we show that estimates established for FEM solvers also hold in the FVM setting. We first prove our results for the hybrid-Mimetic Finite Difference method (hMFD), which is part the Hybrid Mixed Mimetic methods (HMM) family. Then, we explain how these results apply more generally to other FV schemes. Some of them are specified, such as the Two Point Flux Approximation (TPFA).
