Multi-index Stochastic Collocation for random PDEs

In this work we introduce the Multi-Index Stochastic Collocation method (MISC) for computing statistics of the solution of a PDE with random data. MISC is a combination technique based on mixed differences of spatial approximations and quadratures over the ...

Multi-index stochastic collocation convergence rates for random PDEs with parametric regularity

Fabio Nobile, Lorenzo Tamellini

We analyze the recent Multi-index Stochastic Collocation (MISC) method for computing statistics of the solution of a partial differential equation (PDE) with random data, where the random coefficient is parametrized by means of a countable sequence of term ...

Convergence of quasi-optimal sparse-grid approximation of Hilbert-space-valued functions: application to random elliptic PDEs

Fabio Nobile, Lorenzo Tamellini

In this work we provide a convergence analysis for the quasi-optimal version of the sparse-grids stochastic collocation method we presented in a previous work: “On the optimal polynomial approximation of stochastic PDEs by Galerkin and collocation methods” ...

Comparison of Clenshaw-Curtis and Leja Quasi-Optimal Sparse Grids for the Approximation of Random PDEs

Fabio Nobile, Lorenzo Tamellini

In this work we compare different families of nested quadrature points, i.e. the classic Clenshaw-Curtis and various kinds of Leja points, in the context of the quasi-optimal sparse grid approximation of random elliptic PDEs. Numerical evidence suggests th ...

A quasi-optimal sparse grids procedure for groundwater flows

Fabio Nobile, Lorenzo Tamellini

In this work we explore the extension of the quasi-optimal sparse grids method proposed in our previous work "On the optimal polynomial approximation of stochastic PDEs by Galerkin and Collocation methods" to a Darcy problem where the permeability is model ...

Inverse modeling of geochemical and mechanical compaction in sedimentary basins through Polynomial Chaos Expansion

Lorenzo Tamellini

We present an inverse modeling procedure for the estimation of model parameters of sedimentary basins subject to compaction driven by mechanical and geochemical processes. We consider a sandstone basin whose dynamics are governed by a set of unknown key qu ...

Convergence of quasi-optimal Stochastic Galerkin methods for a class of PDES with random coefficients

Fabio Nobile, Lorenzo Tamellini

In this work we consider quasi-optimal versions of the Stochastic Galerkin method for solving linear elliptic PDEs with stochastic coefficients. In particular, we consider the case of a finite number

On the optimal polynomial approximation of stochastic PDEs by Galerkin and Collocation methods

Fabio Nobile, Lorenzo Tamellini

In this work we focus on the numerical approximation of the solution u of a linear elliptic PDE with stochastic coefficients. The problem is rewritten as a parametric PDE and the functional dependence of the solution on the parameters is approximated by mu ...
