4 Expected values of quantities of interest To compute the expected value of some quantity of interest: 1. Generate a number of realizations of the random field (Some approximation may be required) 2. For each realization, solve the PDE using e.g. FEM / FVM / mfem 3. Take the average of all solutions from different realizations This describes Monte Carlo simulation. Example: particle dispersion release point p n = 0 p = 1 p = p n = Frances UNSW Australia p.4

9 Application of QMC to PDEs with random coefficients Three different QMC theoretical settings: [1,2] Weighted Sobolev space over [0,1] s and randomly shifted lattice rules [3,4] Weighted space setting in R s and randomly shifted lattice rules [5,6] Weighted space of smooth functions over [0,1] s and (deterministic) interlaced polynomial lattice rules K., Nuyens (J.

13 Component-by-component construction Want to find z for which some error criterion is as small possible Exhaustive search is practically impossible - too many choices! CBC algorithm [Korobov (1959); Sloan, Reztsov (2002); Sloan, K., Joe (2002),... ] 1. Set z 1 = With z 1 fixed, choose z 2 to minimize the error criterion in 2D. 3. With z 1,z 2 fixed, choose z 3 to minimize the error criterion in 3D. 4. etc. [K. (2003); Dick (2004)] Optimal rate of convergence O(n 1+δ ) in weighted Sobolev space, independently of s under an appropriate condition on the weights Averaging argument: there is always one choice as good as average!
