3 Examples of Background and Goals Example: The Diffusion Equation The Joint Density Function Collocation Methods Example: the diffusion equation (a(x, ω) u) = f on D R d with suitable boundary conditions Uncertainty / randomness a = a(x, ω) is a random field For each fixed x D, a(x, ω) is a random variable Assumptions Coercivity: 0 < α 1 a α 2 < Problem is well posed Spatial correlation of random field: For x, x 1, x 2 D Mean µ(x) = E(a(x, )) Variance σ(x) 2 = E(a(x, ) 2 ) µ 2 Covariance function c(x 1, x 2 ) = E([a(x 1, ) µ(x 1 )] [a(x 2, ) µ(x 2 )]) is finite with

4 Examples of Example: The Diffusion Equation The Joint Density Function Collocation Methods Aims: Efficient computation of statistical properties of solution u(x, ω) Moments mean µ = Ω u(x, ω) dp(ω) = u(x, ξ) ρ(ξ)dξ Γ(Ω) variance Ω u(x, ω)2 dp(ω) µ 2 = Γ(Ω) u(x, ξ)2 ρ(ξ)dξ µ 2 Cumulative distribution functions, e.g., P(u(x, ω)) > α Issues addressed in this study: Costs of collocation methods Lack of knowledge of density function ρ(ξ) with

5 Examples of The Joint Density Function Example: The Diffusion Equation The Joint Density Function Collocation Methods Possible sources of diffusion coefficient Obtained from samples of a(x, ) Assume covariance function for a(x, ) is of standard type E.g. c(x 1, x 2 ) = exp ( x 1 x 2 1 /l) c(x 1, x 2 ) = exp ( ( x 1 x 2 2 /l) 2) Use to generate (truncated) Karhunen-Loève expansion a(x, ξ) = a 0 + σ m r=1 λr a r (x) ξ r Generate covariance matrix from samples, then as above Model itself has form of KL-expansion In all these scenarios The joint density function ρ(ξ) is generally not known with

6 Examples of Collocation Methods Example: The Diffusion Equation The Joint Density Function Collocation Methods Monte-Carlo (sampling) method: find u HE 1 (D) s.t. a(x, ξ k ) u vdx for all v HE 1 0 (D) D for a collection of samples {ξ k } L 2 (Γ) Collocation (Xiu, Hesthaven, Babuška, Nobile, Tempone, Webster) Choose {ξ k } in a special way (sparse grids), then construct discrete solution u (hp) (x, ξ) S E h T (p) to interpolate {u h (x, ξ k )} Advantages (vs. stochastic Galerkin): decouples algebraic system (like MC) applies in a straightforward way to nonlinear random terms vs. Monte Carlo: faster convergence for moderate number of parameters with

7 Examples of But Collocation may still be costly Example: The Diffusion Equation The Joint Density Function Collocation Methods Compare with Stochastic Galerkin (E., Miller, Phipps, Tuminaro): For comparable accuracy: # stochastic dof (collocation) 2 p (# stochastic dof (Galerkin)) { total polynomial degree for Galerkin Here p = level (depth) of sparse grid for collocation m = 4 uniform density Accuracy p = 1 p = 2 p = 3 p = 4 p = 5 Degrees of freedom p = 6 p = 5 p = 4 m = 5 uniform density Time p = 3 Error p = 2 p = 1 with
