Beschreibung In recent years, the mathematical formulation and the development of efficient simulation methods for partial differential equations (PDEs) with random inputs and with noisy data has become increasingly important in engineering and the sciences. We think, among others, of parabolic SPDEs driven by Wiener and Levy noise in term structure models in finance, wave propagation in random media in the geosciences, porous media flow in media with uncertain permeability in subsurface flow models. In the life sciences, PDEs arise on high or even infinite dimensional parameter spaces, such as the master equation or mass action models with hundreds of species in bioengineering.

In the seminar, we discuss the mathematical formulation, regularity, adaptive approximation and numerical analysis of Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) with random input data and on high dimensional parameter spaces.

Mathematical Topics to be discussed include:

multilevel Monte Carlo methods,
multilevel quasi Monte Carlo methods,
polynomial chaos type representation of random fields,
adaptive solvers for PDEs,
Smolyak tensor interpolation algorithms,
Bayesian inverse problems for PDEs,
massively parallel uncertainty quantification algorithms,
SODEs in infinite dimensions.

All topics benefit current research projects in SAM, in particular to the European Research Council project `` Sparse Tensor Approximation of High Dimensional PDE '' and can lead to MSc resp. PhD thesis work in MATH and in
in RW/CSE.

Format:
The students will read selected recent research papers on the seminar's mathematical topics, prepare a presentation (and a written summary of their presentation).
