چکیده
Abstract. Active subspaces can effectively reduce the dimension of high-dimensional parameter studies enabling otherwise infeasible experiments with expensive simulations. The key components of active subspace methods are the eigenvectors of a symmetric, positive semidefinite matrix whose elements are the average products of partial derivatives of the simulation’s input/output map. We study a Monte Carlo method for approximating the eigenpairs of this matrix. We offer both theoretical results based on recent non-asymptotic random matrix theory and a practical approach based on the bootstrap. We extend the analysis to the case when the gradients are approximated, for example, with finite differences. Our goal is to provide guidance for two questions that arise in active subspaces: (i) How many gradient samples does one need to accurately approximate the eigenvalues and subspaces? (ii) What can be said about the accuracy of the estimated subspace, both theoretically and practically? We test the approach on both simple quadratic functions where the active subspace is known and a parameterized PDE with 100 variables characterizing the coefficients of the differential operator.

Jean-Paul Sartre on the Meaning of Life: Objections from an Islamic Viewpoint
Theories of the meaning of life are divided into two categories: nihilistic and anti-nihilistic. The latter is divided, in turn, into the view that life is meaningful and the view that life can be made meaningful. In this paper, we deploy a descriptive-analytic method to discuss Jean-Paul Sartre’s view of nihilism. In his view, God does not exist, the human being is born and dies without a reas...

A manuscript of Ibrahim Sultan`s Shahnama available at the Bodleian Library of Oxford, representing the full range of visual features of the Shiraz School at the age of Ibrahim Sultan Timuri (817-838 AH) which has the symbolic aspects and semantic trends of painting and the potentiality to be interpreted based on philosophical hermeneutics. It seems that analyzing the visual element and re...

Therefore, determination The theoretical framework for understanding of fundamental concepts, are most important in the study and understanding of the concepts in human sciences. One of t...
