Show more >This article is devoted to the analysis of a Monte-Carlo method to approximate effective coefficients in stochastic homogenization of discrete elliptic equations. We consider the case of independent and identically distributed coefficients, and adopt the point of view of the random walk in a random environment. Given some final time $t>0$, a natural approximation of the homogenized coefficients is given by the empirical average of the final squared positions rescaled by $t$ of $n$ independent random walks in $n$ independent environments. Relying on a quantitative version of the Kipnis-Varadhan theorem combined with estimates of spectral exponents obtained by an original combination of pde arguments and spectral theory, we first give a sharp estimate of the error between the homogenized coefficients and the expectation of the rescaled final position of the random walk in terms of $t$. We then complete the error analysis by quantifying the fluctuations of the empirical average in terms of $n$ and $t$, and prove a large-deviation estimate, as well as a central limit theorem. Our estimates are optimal, up to a logarithmic correction in dimension $2$.Show less >
