Proper Generalized Decomposition Method: algorithms and applications to several stochastic PDEs

In this talk, I will present various applications of the Proper Generalized Decompositon (PGD) Method for the approximate solution of Partial Differential Equations involving random (uncertain) parameters, that is SPDEs. The PGD consists in a series of functionals with separated deterministic and stochastic components. The series is sought to minimize the approximation error in a prescribed sense (often the equation resiudal). Starting from the simple case of SPES having energy functionals, e.g. elliptic equations, I will review and compare several algorithms for the approximation of the ideal decomposition. I will subsequently show that these algorithms can be successfully applied to several (moderately) non-linear problems, in particular the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. Alternative separation formats, needed to further reduce the computational complexity of the PGD algorithms, will also be discussed. Finally, I will present recent PGD results for the uncertain wave equation which requires a multi-resolution framework to effectively deal with the complicated structure of the stochastic functionals.
