We study statistical inference for small-noise-perturbed multiscale dynamical systems where the slow motion is driven by fractional Brownian motion. We develop statistical estimators for both the Hurst index as well as a vector of unknown parameters in the model based on a single time series of observations from the slow process only. We prove that these estimators are both consistent and asymptotically normal as the amplitude of the perturbation and the time-scale separation parameter go to zero. Numerical simulations illustrate the theoretical results.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the rebinding effect, a phenomenon describing a "short-time memory" which can occur when projecting a Markov process onto a smaller state space. For guaranteeing a correct mapping by the Markov State Model, we assume a fuzzy clustering in terms of membership functions, assigning degrees of membership to each state. The macro states are represented by the membership functions and may be overlapping. The magnitude of this overlap is a measure for the strength of the rebinding effect, caused by the projection and stabilizing the system. A minimal bound for the rebinding effect included in a given system is computed as the solution of an optimization problem. Based on membership functions chosen as a linear combination of Schur vectors, this generalized approach includes reversible as well as non-reversible processes.

In this paper, we introduce a multiscale framework based on adaptive edge basis functions to solve second-order linear elliptic PDEs with rough coefficients. One of the main results is that we prove the proposed multiscale method achieves nearly exponential convergence in the approximation error with respect to the computational degrees of freedom. Our strategy is to perform an energy orthogonal decomposition of the solution space into a coarse scale component comprising $a$-harmonic functions in each element of the mesh, and a fine scale component named the bubble part that can be computed locally and efficiently. The coarse scale component depends entirely on function values on edges. Our approximation on each edge is made in the Lions-Magenes space $H_{00}^{1/2}(e)$, which we will demonstrate to be a natural and powerful choice. We construct edge basis functions using local oversampling and singular value decomposition. When local information of the right-hand side is adaptively incorporated into the edge basis functions, we prove a nearly exponential convergence rate of the approximation error. Numerical experiments validate and extend our theoretical analysis; in particular, we observe no obvious degradation in accuracy for high-contrast media problems.

We design a variational asymptotic preserving scheme for the Vlasov-Poisson-Fokker-Planck system with the high field scaling, which describes the Brownian motion of a large system of particles in a surrounding bath. Our scheme builds on an implicit-explicit framework, wherein the stiff terms coming from the collision and field effects are solved implicitly while the convection terms are solved explicitly. To treat the implicit part, we propose a variational approach by viewing it as a Wasserstein gradient flow of the relative entropy, and solve it via a proximal quasi-Newton method. In so doing we get positivity and asymptotic preservation for free. The method is also massively parallelizable and thus suitable for high dimensional problems. We further show that the convergence of our implicit solver is uniform across different scales. A suite of numerical examples are presented at the end to validate the performance of the proposed scheme.

In this article, we study wave dynamics in the fractional nonlinear Schrodinger equation with a modulated honeycomb potential. This problem arises from recent research interests in the interplay between topological materials and nonlocal governing equations. Both are current focuses in scientific research fields. We first develop the Floquet-Bloch spectral theory of the linear fractional Schrodinger operator with a honeycomb potential. Especially, we prove the existence of conical degenerate points, i.e., Dirac points, at which two dispersion band functions intersect. We then investigate the dynamics of wave packets spectrally localized at a Dirac point and derive the leading effective envelope equation. It turns out the envelope can be described by a nonlinear Dirac equation with a varying mass. With rigorous error estimates, we demonstrate that the asymptotic solution based on the effective envelope equation approximates the true solution well in the weighted-$H^s$ space.

We investigate the numerical discretization of a two-stream kinetic system with an internal state, such system has been introduced to model the motion of cells by chemotaxis. This internal state models the intracellular methylation level. It adds a variable in the mathematical model, which makes it more challenging to simulate numerically. Moreover, it has been shown that the macroscopic or mesoscopic quantities computed from this system converge to the Keller-Segel system at diffusive scaling or to the velocity-jump kinetic system for chemotaxis at hyperbolic scaling. Then we pay attention to propose numerical schemes uniformly accurate with respect to the scaling parameter. We show that these schemes converge to some limiting schemes which are consistent with the limiting macroscopic or kinetic system. This study is illustrated with some numerical simulations and comparisons with Monte Carlo simulations.

Homogenization in terms of multiscale limits transforms a multiscale problem with $n+1$ asymptotically separated microscales posed on a physical domain $D subset mathbb{R}^d$ into a one-scale problem posed on a product domain of dimension $(n+1)d$ by introducing $n$ so-called "fast variables". This procedure allows to convert $n+1$ scales in $d$ physical dimensions into a single-scale structure in $(n+1)d$ dimensions. We prove here that both the original, physical multiscale problem and the corresponding high-dimensional, one-scale limiting problem can be efficiently treated numerically with the recently developed quantized tensor-train finite-element method (QTT-FEM). The method is based on restricting computation to sequences of nested subspaces of low dimensions (which are called tensor ranks) within a vast but generic "virtual" (background) discretization space. In the course of computation, these subspaces are computed iteratively and data-adaptively at runtime, bypassing any "offline precomputation". For the purpose of theoretical analysis, such low-dimensional subspaces are constructed analytically to bound the tensor ranks vs. error $tau>0$. We consider a model linear elliptic multiscale problem in several physical dimensions and show, theoretically and experimentally, that both (i) the solution of the associated high-dimensional one-scale problem and (ii) the corresponding approximation to the solution of the multiscale problem admit efficient approximation by the QTT-FEM. These problems can therefore be numerically solved in a scale-robust fashion by standard (low-order) PDE discretizations combined with state-of-the-art general-purpose solvers for tensor-structured linear systems. We prove scale-robust exponential convergence, i.e., that QTT-FEM achieves accuracy $tau$ with the number of effective degrees of freedom scaling polynomially in $log tau$.

Open biochemical systems of interacting molecules are ubiquitous in life-related processes. However, established computational methodologies, like molecular dynamics, are still mostly constrained to closed systems and timescales too small to be relevant for life processes. Alternatively, particle-based reaction-diffusion models are currently the most accurate and computationally feasible approach at these scales. Their efficiency lies in modeling entire molecules as particles that can diffuse and interact with each other. In this work, we develop modeling and numerical schemes for particle-based reaction-diffusion in an open setting, where the reservoirs are mediated by reaction-diffusion PDEs. We derive two important theoretical results. The first one is the mean-field for open systems of diffusing particles; the second one is the mean-field for a particle-based reaction-diffusion system with second-order reactions. We employ these two results to develop a numerical scheme that consistently couples particle-based reaction-diffusion processes with reaction-diffusion PDEs. This allows modeling open biochemical systems in contact with reservoirs that are time-dependent and spatially inhomogeneous, as in many relevant real-world applications.
