Title: Dynamical Low Rank approximation of random time dependent PDEs
Abstract: In this talk we consider time dependent PDEs with random parameters and seek for an approximate solution in separable form that can be written at each time instant as a linear combination of a fixed number of linearly independent spatial functions multiplied by linearly independent random variables (low rank approximation). Since the optimal deterministic and stochastic modes can significantly change over time, we consider a dynamical approach where those modes are computed on the fly as solutions of suitable evolution equations. We discuss the construction of the method, present an existence result for the low rank approximate solution of a random semi-linear evolutionary equation of diffusion type, and introduce an operator splitting numerical discretization of the low rank equations for which we can prove (conditional) stability. This is joint work with Yoshihito Kazashi, Eleonora Musharbash, Eva Vidlicková.
