Abstract: We derive optimal-order homogenization rates for random nonlinear elliptic PDEs with monotone nonlinearity in the uniformly elliptic case. More precisely, for a random monotone operator on mathbbRd with stationary law (i.e. spatially homogeneous statistics) and fast decay of correlations on scales larger than the microscale varepsilon>0, we establish homogenization error estimates of the order varepsilon in case dgeq3, respectively of the order varepsilon|logvarepsilon|1/2 in case d=2. Previous results in nonlinear stochastic homogenization have been limited to a small algebraic rate of convergence varepsilondelta. We also establish error estimates for the approximation of the homogenized operator by the method of representative volumes of the order (L/varepsilon)d/2 for a representative volume of size L. Our results also hold in the case of systems for which a (small-scale) C1,alpha regularity theory is available.
