- ItemA hybrid FETI-DP method for non-smooth random partial differential equations(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2018) Eigel, Martin; Gruhlke, RobertA domain decomposition approach exploiting the localization of random parameters in highdimensional random PDEs is presented. For high efficiency, surrogate models in multi-element representations are computed locally when possible. This makes use of a stochastic Galerkin FETI-DP formulation of the underlying problem with localized representations of involved input random fields. The local parameter space associated to a subdomain is explored by a subdivision into regions where the parametric surrogate accuracy can be trusted and where instead Monte Carlo sampling has to be employed. A heuristic adaptive algorithm carries out a problemdependent hp refinement in a stochastic multi-element sense, enlarging the trusted surrogate region in local parametric space as far as possible. This results in an efficient global parameter to solution sampling scheme making use of local parametric smoothness exploration in the involved surrogate construction. Adequately structured problems for this scheme occur naturally when uncertainties are defined on sub-domains, e.g. in a multi-physics setting, or when the Karhunen-Loéve expansion of a random field can be localized. The efficiency of this hybrid technique is demonstrated with numerical benchmark problems illustrating the identification of trusted (possibly higher order) surrogate regions and non-trusted sampling regions.
- ItemAn adaptive stochastic Galerkin tensor train discretization for randomly perturbed domains(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2018) Eigel, Martin; Marschall, Manuel; Multerer, MichaelA linear PDE problem for randomly perturbed domains is considered in an adaptive Galerkin framework. The perturbation of the domains boundary is described by a vector valued random field depending on a countable number of random variables in an affine way. The corresponding Karhunen-Loève expansion is approximated by the pivoted Cholesky decomposition based on a prescribed covariance function. The examined high-dimensional Galerkin system follows from the domain mapping approach, transferring the randomness from the domain to the diffusion coefficient and the forcing. In order to make this computationally feasible, the representation makes use of the modern tensor train format for the implicit compression of the problem. Moreover, an a posteriori error estimator is presented, which allows for the problem-dependent iterative refinement of all discretization parameters and the assessment of the achieved error reduction. The proposed approach is demonstrated in numerical benchmark problems.
- ItemComparison of monomorphic and polymorphic approaches for uncertainty quantification with experimental investigations(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2019) Drieschner, Martin; Eigel, Martin; Gruhlke, Robert; Hömberg, Dietmar; Petryna, YuriUnavoidable uncertainties due to natural variability, inaccuracies, imperfections or lack of knowledge are always present in real world problems. To take them into account within a numerical simulation, the probability, possibility or fuzzy set theory as well as a combination of these are potentially usable for the description and quantification of uncertainties. In this work, different monomorphic and polymorphic uncertainty models are applied on linear elastic structures with non-periodic perforations in order to analyze the individual usefulness and expressiveness. The first principal stress is used as an indicator for structural failure which is evaluated and classified. In addition to classical sampling methods, a surrogate model based on artificial neural networks is presented. With regard to accuracy, efficiency and resulting numerical predictions, all methods are compared and assessed with respect to the added value. Real experiments of perforated plates under uniaxial tension are validated with the help of the different uncertainty models.
- ItemLow-rank tensor reconstruction of concentrated densities with application to Bayesian inversion(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2019) Eigel, Martin; Gruhlke, Robert; Marschall, ManuelA novel method for the accurate functional approximation of possibly highly concentrated probability densities is developed. It is based on the combination of several modern techniques such as transport maps and nonintrusive reconstructions of low-rank tensor representations. The central idea is to carry out computations for statistical quantities of interest such as moments with a convenient reference measure which is approximated by an numerical transport, leading to a perturbed prior. Subsequently, a coordinate transformation leads to a beneficial setting for the further function approximation. An efficient layer based transport construction is realized by using the Variational Monte Carlo (VMC) method. The convergence analysis covers all terms introduced by the different (deterministic and statistical) approximations in the Hellinger distance and the Kullback-Leibler divergence. Important applications are presented and in particular the context of Bayesian inverse problems is illuminated which is a central motivation for the developed approach. Several numerical examples illustrate the efficacy with densities of different complexity.
- ItemVariational 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, SebastianA 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.
- ItemAdaptive stochastic Galerkin FEM for lognormal coefficients in hierarchical tensor representations(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2018) Eigel, Martin; Marschall, Manuel; Pfeffer, Max; Schneider, ReinholdStochastic Galerkin methods for non-affine coefficient representations are known to cause major difficulties from theoretical and numerical points of view. In this work, an adaptive Galerkin FE method for linear parametric PDEs with lognormal coefficients discretized in Hermite chaos polynomials is derived. It employs problem-adapted function spaces to ensure solvability of the variational formulation. The inherently high computational complexity of the parametric operator is made tractable by using hierarchical tensor representations. For this, a new tensor train format of the lognormal coefficient is derived and verified numerically. The central novelty is the derivation of a reliable residual-based a posteriori error estimator. This can be regarded as a unique feature of stochastic Galerkin methods. It allows for an adaptive algorithm to steer the refinements of the physical mesh and the anisotropic Wiener chaos polynomial degrees. For the evaluation of the error estimator to become feasible, a numerically efficient tensor format discretization is developed. Benchmark examples with unbounded lognormal coefficient fields illustrate the performance of the proposed Galerkin discretization and the fully adaptive algorithm.
- ItemNon-intrusive tensor reconstruction for high dimensional random PDEs(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2017) Eigel, Martin; Neumann, Johannes; Schneider, Reinhold; Wolf, SebastianThis 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.
- ItemOn forward and inverse uncertainty quantification for models involving hysteresis operators(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2018) Klein, Olaf; Davino, Daniele; Visone, CiroParameters within hysteresis operators modeling real world objects have to be identified from measurements and are therefore subject to corresponding errors. To investigate the influence of these errors, the methods of Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) are applied.
- ItemLow rank surrogates for polymorphic fields with application to fuzzy-stochastic partial differential equations(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2019) Eigel, Martin; Grasedyck, Lars; Gruhlke, Robert; Moser, DieterWe consider a general form of fuzzy-stochastic PDEs depending on the interaction of probabilistic and non-probabilistic ("possibilistic") influences. Such a combined modelling of aleatoric and epistemic uncertainties for instance can be applied beneficially in an engineering context for real-world applications, where probabilistic modelling and expert knowledge has to be accounted for. We examine existence and well-definedness of polymorphic PDEs in appropriate function spaces. The fuzzy-stochastic dependence is described in a high-dimensional parameter space, thus easily leading to an exponential complexity in practical computations. To aleviate this severe obstacle in practise, a compressed low-rank approximation of the problem formulation and the solution is derived. This is based on the Hierarchical Tucker format which is constructed with solution samples by a non-intrusive tensor reconstruction algorithm. The performance of the proposed model order reduction approach is demonstrated with two examples. One of these is the ubiquitous groundwater flow model with Karhunen-Loeve coefficient field which is generalized by a fuzzy correlation length.
