We report here on the recent application of a now classical general reduction
technique, the Reduced-Basis approach initiated in [C. Prud'homme, D. Rovas, K.
Veroy, Y. Maday, A. T. Patera, and G. Turinici. Reliable real-time solution of
parametrized partial differential equations: Reduced-basis output bounds
methods. Journal of Fluids Engineering, 124(1):7080, 2002.], to the specific
context of differential equations with random coefficients. After an elementary
presentation of the approach, we review two contributions of the authors: [S.
Boyaval, C. Le Bris, Y. Maday, N.C.
We provide {\it a priori} error estimates for the spectral and pseudospectral
Fourier (also called planewave) discretizations of the periodic
Thomas-Fermi-von Weizs\"acker (TFW) model and of the Kohn-Sham model, within
the local density approximation (LDA). These models allow to compute
approximations of the ground state energy and density of molecular systems in
the condensed phase. The TFW model is stricly convex with respect to the
electronic density, and allows for a comprehensive analysis (Part I).
