Abstract
Finite dimensional (FD) models, i.e., deterministic functions of time/space and finite sets of random variables, are constructed for target vector-valued random processes/fields. They are required to have two properties. First, standard Monte Carlo algorithms can be used to generate their samples, referred to as FD samples. Second, under some conditions specified by several theorems, FD samples can be used to estimate distributions of extremes and other functionals of target random functions. Numerical illustrations involving two-dimensional random processes and apparent properties of random microstructures are presented to illustrate the implementation of FD models for these stochastic problems and show that they are accurate if the conditions of our theorems are satisfied.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal for Uncertainty Quantification disseminates information of permanent interest in the areas of analysis, modeling, design and control of complex systems in the presence of uncertainty. The journal seeks to emphasize methods that cross stochastic analysis, statistical modeling and scientific computing. Systems of interest are governed by differential equations possibly with multiscale features. Topics of particular interest include representation of uncertainty, propagation of uncertainty across scales, resolving the curse of dimensionality, long-time integration for stochastic PDEs, data-driven approaches for constructing stochastic models, validation, verification and uncertainty quantification for predictive computational science, and visualization of uncertainty in high-dimensional spaces. Bayesian computation and machine learning techniques are also of interest for example in the context of stochastic multiscale systems, for model selection/classification, and decision making. Reports addressing the dynamic coupling of modern experiments and modeling approaches towards predictive science are particularly encouraged. Applications of uncertainty quantification in all areas of physical and biological sciences are appropriate.
