An Adaptive Multi-Element Generalized Polynomial Chaos Method for Stochastic Differential Equations

چکیده
We formulate a Multi-Element generalized Polynomial Chaos (ME-gPC) method to deal with long-term integration and discontinuities in stochastic differential equations. We first present this method for Legendre-chaos corresponding to uniform random inputs, and subsequently we generalize it to other random inputs. The main idea of ME-gPC is to decompose the space of random inputs when the relative error in variance becomes greater than a threshold value. In each subdomain or random element, we then employ a generalized Polynomial Chaos expansion. We develop a criterion to perform such a decomposition adaptively, and demonstrate its effectiveness for ODEs, including the Kraichnan-Orszag three-mode problem, as well as advection-diffusion problems. The new method is similar to spectral element method for deterministic problems but with h-p discretization of the random space.

Adaptive Numerical Solutions of Stochastic Differential Equations
In this paper we present an adaptive multi-element generalized polynomial chaos (ME-gPC) method, which can achieve hp-convergence in random space. ME-gPC is based on the decomposition of random space and generalized polynomial chaos (gPC). Using proper numerical schemes to maintain the local orthogonality on-the-fly, we perform gPC locally and adaptively. The key idea is to combine the polynomi...
متن کاملMulti-Element Generalized Polynomial Chaos for Arbitrary Probability Measures
We develop a multi-element generalized polynomial chaos (ME-gPC) method for arbitrary probability measures and apply it to solve ordinary and partial differential equations with stochastic inputs. Given a stochastic input with an arbitrary probability measure, its random space is decomposed into smaller elements. Subsequently, in each element a new random variable with respect to a conditional ...

In this paper we extend our previous work, first presented in, to handle effectively non-Gaussian processes and long-time integration in unsteady simulations of compressible flows. Specifically, we apply the generalized polynomial chaos (GPC) method to solve the one-dimensional stochastic Euler equations. We present systematic verification studies against an analytical solution of the stochasti...
متن کاملUncertainty quantification in simulations of power systems: Multi-element polynomial chaos methods
While probabilistic methods have been used extensively in simulating stationary power systems, there has not been a systematic effort in developing suitable algorithms for stochastic simulations of timedependent and reconfiguring power systems. Here, we present several versions of polynomial chaos that lead to a very efficient approach especially in low dimensions. We consider both Galerkin and...

An extension of the deterministic variational multiscale (VMS) approach with algebraic subgrid scale (SGS) modeling is considered for developing stabilized finite element formulations for the linear stochastic scalar advection-diffusion equation and the incompressible stochastic Navier-Stokes equations. The stabilized formulations are numerically implemented using the spectral stochastic formul...
