2 Outline Motivating example a flow through a porous medium Quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) methods Component-by-component (CBC) construction Application of QMC theory to PDEs with random coefficients estimate the norm choose the weights Software Concluding remarks Frances UNSW Australia p.2

3 Motivating example Uncertainty in groundwater flow eg. risk analysis of radwaste disposal or CO 2 sequestration Darcy s law q + a p = f in D R d, d = 1,2,3 mass conservation law q = 0 together with boundary conditions [Cliffe, et. al. (2000)] Uncertainty in a(x, ω) leads to uncertainty in q(x, ω) and p(x, ω) Frances UNSW Australia p.3

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

5 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. NOTE: expected value = (high dimensional) integral 10 1 use quasi-monte Carlo methods 10 2 MC n 1/2 error n 1 or better n QMC s = stochastic dimension Frances UNSW Australia p.4
