Abstract: We consider a nonlinear convex stochastic homogenization problem, in a stationary setting. In practice, the deterministic homogenized energy density can only be approximated by a random apparent energy density, obtained by solving the corrector problem on a truncated domain. We show that the technique of antithetic variables can be used to reduce the variance of the computed quantities, and thereby decrease the computational cost at equal accuracy. This leads to an efficient approach for approximating expectations of the apparent homogenized energy density and of related quantities. The efficiency of the approach is numerically illustrated on several test cases. Some elements of analysis are also provided.
