Numerical Analysis of Linear Wave Equations in Random Media

Christoph Schwab
ETH ZĂ¼rich

For initial boundary value problems
of linear second order hyperbolic
partial differential equations whose
coefficients depend on countably
many random parameters e.g. via a
Karhunen-Loeve or a wavelet expansion,
we show analyticity of weak solutions
with respect to these parameters.
The problem is reduced to a parametric family of deterministic initial boundary value problems on an infinite dimensional parameter space.

We present convergence rates for polynomial chaos type discretizations as well as for Multi-Level Monte Carlo space-time discretizations.
