Area of Science:

  • Computational physics
  • Theoretical physics
  • Numerical analysis

Background:

  • Solving differential equations on coarse meshes presents challenges due to lattice artifacts and the need to capture small-scale dynamics.
  • Traditional methods may struggle to accurately represent physical observables at larger scales.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop novel renormalization group (RG) methods for solving partial and stochastic differential equations on coarse meshes.
  • To improve the computational performance of numerical simulations for critical dynamics.

Main Methods:

  • Applying RG transformations to precisely calculate the effect of small-scale dynamics on dynamics at the mesh size.
  • Utilizing the fixed point of RG transformations to derive a perfect operator for representing physical observables.
