This paper is the companion article to [Ann. Probab. 39 (2011) 779--856]. We consider a discrete elliptic equation on the $d$-dimensional lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$ with random coefficients $A$ of the simplest type: They are identically…

We derive optimal-order homogenization rates for random nonlinear elliptic PDEs with monotone nonlinearity in the uniformly elliptic case. More precisely, for a random monotone operator on $\mathbb{R}^d$ with stationary law (i.e. spatially…
We derive optimal estimates in stochastic homogenization of linear elliptic equations in divergence form in dimensions $d\ge 2$. In previous works we studied the model problem of a discrete elliptic equation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$. Under the…
We consider uniformly elliptic coefficient fields that are randomly distributed according to a stationary ensemble of a finite range of dependence. We show that the gradient and flux $(\nabla\phi,a(\nabla \phi+e))$ of the corrector $\phi$,…
We adapt and study a variance reduction approach for the homogenization of elliptic equations in divergence form. The approach, borrowed from atomistic simulations and solid-state science [von Pezold et al, Physical Review B 2010; Wei et…

In this paper, we consider stochastic homogenization of elliptic equations with unbounded and non-uniformly elliptic coefficients. Extending subadditive arguments, we get an estimate for the rate of the convergence of the solution of the…
We prove regularity and stochastic homogenization results for certain degenerate elliptic equations in nondivergence form. The equation is required to be strictly elliptic, but the ellipticity may oscillate on the microscopic scale and is…
We introduce a new method for studying stochastic homogenization of elliptic equations in nondivergence form. The main application is an algebraic error estimate, asserting that deviations from the homogenized limit are at most proportional…

We introduce a new concept of sparsity for the stochastic elliptic operator $-{\rm div}\left(a(x,\omega)\nabla(\cdot)\right)$, which reflects the compactness of its inverse operator in the stochastic direction and allows for spatially…
