Description | The first objective of the project is to define the representational structures that will facilitate rigorous quantitative multiscale models to be developed. Our second objective is to develop algorithmic techniques for simulating, optimising and controlling stochastic multiscale systems. The project has delivered two major results so far. Firstly, we showed that the major benefit of dimensionality reduction techniques is that the reduced order model is numerically well behaved. This was a surprising result since intuition would suggest that the reduced order model can be solved more efficiently because it has fewer degrees of freedom. However we showed that this is not necessarily the case. This result has shed new light on the role of reduced order models and gave us several ideas about how to develop new algorithms based on this insight. Our second main result concerns an exact mathematical estimation of error bounds for stochastic models that capture multiscale dynamics across both time and space. Using modern optimisation techniques we were able to show rigorous bounds for spatial models with singular perturbations across space. It is important to note that while some of these models have been studied for over 30 years, the magnitude of the error due to the dimensionality reduction was (until now) impossible to estimate. Based on the results we have obtained so far we are currently working on the development of new algorithms. Since one of our objectives is to apply our tools to realistic case studies we have also started collecting and experimenting with real world data. |
Exploitation Route | The output of our research is software that can be used by people interested in molecular dynamic simulations. We are in the process of integrating our s/w into a package that will be made available to the wider community. |
