  text: 'Stochastic PDEs of fluctuating hydrodynamics are a powerful tool for the
    description of fluctuations in many-particle systems. In this paper, we develop
    and analyze a multilevel Monte Carlo (MLMC) scheme for the Dean–Kawasaki equation,
    a pivotal representative of this class of SPDEs. We prove analytically and demonstrate
    numerically that our MLMC scheme provides a significant reduction in computational
    cost (with respect to a standard Monte Carlo method) in the simulation of the
    Dean–Kawasaki equation. Specifically, we link this reduction in cost to having
    a sufficiently large average particle density and show that sizeable cost reductions
    can be obtained even when we have solutions with regions of low density. Numerical
    simulations are provided in the two-dimensional case, confirming our theoretical
    predictions. Our results are formulated entirely in terms of the law of distributions
    rather than in terms of strong spatial norms: this crucially allows for MLMC speed-ups
    altogether despite the Dean–Kawasaki equation being highly singular.'

  text: 'Various degenerate diffusion equations exhibit a waiting time phenomenon:
    depending on the “flatness” of the compactly supported initial datum at the boundary
    of the support, the support of the solution may not expand for a certain amount
    of time. We show that this phenomenon is captured by particular Lagrangian discretizations
    of the porous medium and the thin film equations, and we obtain sufficient criteria
    for the occurrence of waiting times that are consistent with the known ones for
    the original PDEs. For the spatially discrete solution, the waiting time phenomenon
    refers to a deviation of the edge of support from its original position by a quantity
    comparable to the mesh width, over a mesh-independent time interval. Our proof
    is based on estimates on the fluid velocity in Lagrangian coordinates. Combining
    weighted entropy estimates with an iteration technique à la Stampacchia leads
    to upper bounds on free boundary propagation. Numerical simulations show that
    the phenomenon is already clearly visible for relatively coarse discretizations.'

  text: This paper provides an a priori error analysis of a localized orthogonal decomposition
    method for the numerical stochastic homogenization of a model random diffusion
    problem. If the uniformly elliptic and bounded random coefficient field of the
    model problem is stationary and satisfies a quantitative decorrelation assumption
    in the form of the spectral gap inequality, then the expected $L^2$ error of the
    method can be estimated, up to logarithmic factors, by $H+(\varepsilon/H)^{d/2}$,
    $\varepsilon$ being the small correlation length of the random coefficient and
    $H$ the width of the coarse finite element mesh that determines the spatial resolution.
    The proof bridges recent results of numerical homogenization and quantitative
    stochastic homogenization.
