    Non-intrusive tensor reconstruction for high dimensional random PDEs
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2017) Eigel, Martin; Neumann, Johannes; Schneider, Reinhold; Wolf, Sebastian
    This paper examines a completely non-intrusive, sample-based method for the computation of functional low-rank solutions of high dimensional parametric random PDEs which have become an area of intensive research in Uncertainty Quantification (UQ). In order to obtain a generalized polynomial chaos representation of the approximate stochastic solution, a novel black-box rank-adapted tensor reconstruction procedure is proposed. The performance of the described approach is illustrated with several numerical examples and compared to Monte Carlo sampling.

    Variational Monte Carlo - Bridging concepts of machine learning and high dimensional partial differential equations
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2018) Eigel, Martin; Trunschke, Philipp; Schneider, Reinhold; Wolf, Sebastian
    A statistical learning approach for parametric PDEs related to Uncertainty Quantification is derived. The method is based on the minimization of an empirical risk on a selected model class and it is shown to be applicable to a broad range of problems. A general unified convergence analysis is derived, which takes into account the approximation and the statistical errors. By this, a combination of theoretical results from numerical analysis and statistics is obtained. Numerical experiments illustrate the performance of the method with the model class of hierarchical tensors.
