Abstract

We show that the effective diffusivity of a random diffusion with a drift is a continuous function of the drift coefficient. In fact, in the case of a homogeneous and isotropic random environment the function is $C^\infty $ smooth outside the origin. We provide a one-dimensional example which shows that the diffusivity coefficient need not be differentiable at $0$.
