Abstract

We summarize and compare our recent methods for reducing the complexity of computational problems, in particular dimensional reduction methods based on the Mori-Zwanzig formalism of statistical physics, block Monte-Carlo methods, and an averaging method for deriving an effective equation for a nonlinear wave propagation problem. We show that their common thread is scale change and renormalization.
