7 Langevin-type equations The Ito interpretation of the SDEs (2) (3) coincides with its Stratonovich interpretation. The solution of (2) (3) preserves the quaternion length Q j (t) = 1, j = 1,..., n, for all t 0. (4) The solution of (2) (3) automatically preserves the constraint: Q j T (t)π j (t) = 0, j = 1,..., n, for t 0 (5) Assume that the solution X (t) = (R T (t), P T (t), Q T (t), Π T (t)) T of (2) (3) is an ergodic process on D = {x = (r T, p T, q T, π T ) T R 14n : q j = 1, q j T π j = 0, j = 1,..., n}. Then it can be shown that the invariant measure of X (t) is Gibbsian with the density ρ(r, p, q, π) on D: ρ(r, p, q, π) exp( βh(r, p, q, π)) (6) Davidchack, Ouldridge&T. J Chem Phys 2015

12 The stochastic gradient system It is easy to verify that exp( βh(r, p, q, π))dpdπ (9) D mom exp( βu(r, q)) =: ρ(r, q), where (r T, q T ) T D = {(r T, q T ) T R 7n : q j = 1} and the domain of conjugate momenta D mom = {(p T, π T ) T R 7n : q T π = 0}. We introduce the gradient system in the form of Stratonovich SDEs: dr = υ m f(r, Q)dt + 2υ dw(t), R(0) = r, (10) mβ dq j = Υ M F j 2Υ 3 (R, Q)dt + S l Q j dw j l (t), (11) Mβ l=1 Q j (0) = q j, q j = 1, j = 1,..., n, where indicates the Stratonovich form of the SDEs, parameters υ > 0 and Υ > 0 control the speed of evolution of the gradient system (10) (11), f = (f 1 T,..., f n T ) T and the rest of the notation is as in (2) (3). [Davidchack, Ouldridge&T. J Chem Phys 2015]

13 The gradient thermostat for rigid body dynamics This new gradient thermostat possesses the following properties. As in the case of (2) (3), the solution of (10) (11) preserves the quaternion length (4). Assume that the solution X (t) = (R T (t), Q T (t)) T D of (10) (11) is an ergodic process. Then, by the usual means of the stationary Fokker-Planck equation, one can show that its invariant measure is Gibbsian with the density ρ(r, q) from (9).

14 Langevin integrators Davidchack, Ouldridge&T. J Chem Phys 2015 For simplicity we use a uniform time discretization of a time interval [0, T ] with the step h = T /N. Goal: to construct integrators quasi-symplectic preserve Q j (t k ) = 1, j = 1,..., n, for all t 0 automatically preserve Q j T (t k ) Π j (t k ) = 0, of weak order 2 To this end: j = 1,..., n, for t 0 automatically stochastic numerics+splitting techniques [see e.g. Milstein&T, Springer 2004] the deterministic symplectic integrator from [Miller III et al J.

38 Assumptions Assumption 1 There exist c 0 R and c 1 > 0 such that (x, a(x)) c 0 c 1 x 2. Assumption 2 The potential U(x) C 7 (R d ), its first-order derivatives grow not faster than a linear function at infinity and higher derivatives are bounded. The function ϕ(x) C 6 (R d ) and it and its derivatives grow not faster than a polynomial function at infinity. The most restrictive condition in Assumption 2 is the requirement for a(x) = U to be globally Lipschitz: a(x) 2 K(1 + x 2 ), (29) where K > 0 is independent of x R d, which can be relaxed via [Milstein, T. (2005) and (2007): the concept of rejecting exploding trajectories]

40 Main theorem Theorem (1) Let Assumptions 1-2 hold. Then the scheme (28) is first order weakly convergent and for all sufficiently small h > 0 its error has the form + σ2 2 Eϕ(X x (T )) Eϕ(X N ) = C 0 (T, x)h + C(T, x)h 2, (33) T C 0 (T, x) = E B 0 (t, X x (t))dt, (34) 0 B 0 (t, x) = 1 d 2 d i,j=1 i,j=1 a i (x) 2 u(t, x) x j x i x j + σ2 2 a j (x) ai (x) u(t, x) x j x i d 2 a i (x) u(t, x) ( x j ) 2 x i, i,j=1 C(T, x) K(1 + x κ e λt ), for some K > 0, κ N and λ > 0 independent of h and T.

41 Corollary Theorem 1: Eϕ(X x (T )) Eϕ(X N ) = C 0 (T, x)h + C(T, x)h 2, T C 0 (T, x) = E B 0 (t, X x (t))dt. 0

42 Corollary Theorem 1: Eϕ(X x (T )) Eϕ(X N ) = C 0 (T, x)h + C(T, x)h 2, T C 0 (T, x) = E B 0 (t, X x (t))dt. 0 Theorem (2) Let Assumptions 1-2 hold. Then the coefficient C 0 (T, x) from (34) goes to zero as T : C 0 (T, x) K(1 + x κ )e λt (35) for some constants K > 0, κ N and λ > 0, i.e., over a long integration time the scheme (28) is of order two up to exponentially small correction.

45 Discussion 1 We emphasize that the fact that the average of B 0 (t, x) with respect to the invariant measure is equal to zero is the reason why the scheme (28) is second order accurate in approximating ergodic limits.

46 Discussion 1 We emphasize that the fact that the average of B 0 (t, x) with respect to the invariant measure is equal to zero is the reason why the scheme (28) is second order accurate in approximating ergodic limits. 2 In the case of the Euler scheme (24) we get the same error expansion as (33) for the scheme (28) but with a different B 0 (t, x) = B0 E (t, x) (see [Milstein, T.

47 Discussion 3 Let a one-step weak approximation X t,x (t + h) of the solution X t,x (t + h) of (21) generate a method of order p. The global error of the method: R : = Eϕ(X x (T )) Eϕ( X x (T )) (38) = C 0 (T, x)h p + + C n (T, x)h p+n + O(h p+n+1 ), where n N and the functions C 0 (T, x),..., C n (T, x) are independent of h which can be presented in the form C i (T, x) = T 0 EB i (s, X x (s))ds. One can deduce from the proof of Theorem 2 that if the averages of B i (s, x) 0 i n, with respect to the invariant measure are equal to zero then in the limit of T the scheme has p + n order of accuracy in h.

51 Conclusions Two new thermostats, one of Langevin type and one of gradient (Brownian) type, for rigid body dynamics are introduced. As in the deterministic case, it is important to preserve structural properties of stochastic systems for accurate long term simulations. Current work includes stochastic rigid body dynamics with hydrodynamic interactions. Development of more efficient methods for stochastic gradient systems.
