This book was released on 2013 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last few years there have been dramatic advances in our understanding of mathematical and computational models of complex systems in the presence of uncertainty. This has led to a growth in the area of uncertainty quantification as well as the need to develop efficient, scalable, stable and convergent computational methods for solving differential equations with random inputs. Stochastic Galerkin methods based on polynomial chaos expansions have shown superiority to other non-sampling and many sampling techniques. For complicated governing equations numerical implementations of stochastic Galerkin methods can become non-trivial. Monte Carlo and other traditional sampling methods, are straightforward to implement. But they do not offer as fast convergence rates as stochastic Galerkin. Other numerical approaches are the stochastic collocation (SC) methods, which inherit both the ease of implementation of Monte Carlo and the robustness of stochastic Galerkin to a great deal. Stochastic collocation and its powerful extensions, e.g. sparse grid stochastic collocation, can simply fail to handle more levels of complication. The seemingly innocent Burgers equation driven by Brownian motion is such an example. We propose a novel enhancement to stochastic collocation methods using deterministic model reduction techniques that can handle this pathological example and hopefully other more complicated equations like Stochastic Navier Stokes. Our numerical results show the efficiency of the proposed technique. We also perform a mathematically rigorous study of linear parabolic partial differential equations with random forcing terms. Justified by the truncated Karhunen-Loeve expansions, the input data are assumed to be represented by a finite number of random variables. A rigorous convergence analysis of our method applied to parabolic partial differential equations with random forcing terms, supported by numerical results, shows that the proposed technique is not only reliable and robust but also very efficient.

Book Monte Carlo Methods and Stochastic Processes

Download or read book Monte Carlo Methods and Stochastic Processes written by Emmanuel Gobet and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-09-15 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developed from the author’s course at the Ecole Polytechnique, Monte-Carlo Methods and Stochastic Processes: From Linear to Non-Linear focuses on the simulation of stochastic processes in continuous time and their link with partial differential equations (PDEs). It covers linear and nonlinear problems in biology, finance, geophysics, mechanics, chemistry, and other application areas. The text also thoroughly develops the problem of numerical integration and computation of expectation by the Monte-Carlo method. The book begins with a history of Monte-Carlo methods and an overview of three typical Monte-Carlo problems: numerical integration and computation of expectation, simulation of complex distributions, and stochastic optimization. The remainder of the text is organized in three parts of progressive difficulty. The first part presents basic tools for stochastic simulation and analysis of algorithm convergence. The second part describes Monte-Carlo methods for the simulation of stochastic differential equations. The final part discusses the simulation of non-linear dynamics.

Book An Adaptive Multi Level Monte Carlo Method with Stochastic Bounds for Quantities of Interest in Groundwater Flow with Uncertain Data

Download or read book An Adaptive Multi Level Monte Carlo Method with Stochastic Bounds for Quantities of Interest in Groundwater Flow with Uncertain Data written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of this work is the introduction of some computable a posteriori error control to the popular multilevel Monte Carlo sampling for PDE with stochastic data. We are especially interested in applications in the geosciences such as groundwater flow with rather rough stochastic fields for the conductive permeability. With a spatial discretisation based on finite elements, a goal functional is defined which encodes the quantity of interest. The devised goal-oriented error estimator enables to determine guaranteed a posteriori error bounds for this quantity. In particular, it allows for the adaptive refinement of the mesh hierarchy used in the multilevel Monte Carlo simulation. In addition to controlling the deterministic error, we also suggest how to treat the stochastic error in probability. Numerical experiments illustrate the performance of the presented adaptive algorithm for a posteriori error control in multilevel Monte Carlo methods. These include a localised goal with problem-adapted meshes and a slit domain example. The latter demonstrates the refinement of regions with low solution regularity based on an inexpensive explicit error estimator in the multilevel algorithm.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This introduction to Monte Carlo Methods seeks to identify and study the unifying elements that underlie their effective application. It focuses on two basic themes. The first is the importance of random walks as they occur both in natural stochastic systems and in their relationship to integral and differential equations. The second theme is that of variance reduction in general and importance sampling in particular as a technique for efficient use of the methods. Random walks are introduced with an elementary example in which the modelling of radiation transport arises directly from a schematic probabilistic description of the interaction of radiation with matter. Building on that example, the relationship between random walks and integral equations is outlined. The applicability of these ideas to other problems is shown by a clear and elementary introduction to the solution of the Schrodinger equation by random walks. The detailed discussion of variance reduction includes Monte Carlo evaluation of finite-dimensional integrals. Special attention is given to importance sampling, partly because of its intrinsic interest in quadrature, partly because of its general usefulness in the solution of integral equations. One significant feature is that Monte Carlo Methods treats the "Metropolis algorithm" in the context of sampling methods, clearly distinguishing it from importance sampling. Physicists, chemists, statisticians, mathematicians, and computer scientists will find Monte Carlo Methods a complete and stimulating introduction.

Book Mixing Monte Carlo and Partial Differential Equation Methods For Multi dimensional Optimal Stopping Problems Under Stochastic Volatility

Download or read book Mixing Monte Carlo and Partial Differential Equation Methods For Multi dimensional Optimal Stopping Problems Under Stochastic Volatility written by David Farahany and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis, we develop a numerical approach for solving multi-dimensional optimal stopping problems (OSPs) under stochastic volatility (SV) that combines least squares Monte Carlo (LSMC) with partial differential equation (PDE) techniques. The algorithm provides dimensional reduction from the PDE and regression perspective along with variance and dimensional reduction from the MC perspective. In Chapter 2, we begin by laying the mathematical foundation of mixed MC-PDE techniques for OSPs. Next, we show the basic mechanics of the algorithm and, under certain mild assumptions, prove it converges almost surely. We apply the algorithm to the one dimensional Heston model and demonstrate that the hybrid algorithm outperforms traditional LSMC techniques in terms of both estimating prices and optimal exercise boundaries (OEBs). In Chapter 3 we describe methods for reducing the complexity and run time of the algorithm along with techniques for computing sensitivities. To reduce the complexity, we apply two methods: clustering via sufficient statistics and multi-level Monte Carlo (mlMC)/multi-grids. While the clustering method allows us to reduce computational run times by a third for high dimensional problems, mlMC provides an order of magnitude reduction in complexity. To compute sensitivities, we employ a grid based method for derivatives with respect to the asset, S, and an MC method that uses initial dispersions for sensitivities with respect to variance, v. To test our approximations and computation of sensitivities, we revisit the one-dimensional Heston model and find our approximations introduce little-to-no error and that our computation of sensitivities is highly accurate in comparison to standard LSMC. To demonstrate the utility of our new computational techniques, we apply the hybrid algorithm to the multi-dimensional Heston model and show that the algorithm is highly accurate in terms of estimating prices, OEBs, and sensitivities, especially in comparison to standard LSMC. In Chapter 4 we highlight the importance of multi-factor SV models and apply our hybrid algorithm to two specific examples: the Double Heston model and a mean-reverting commodity model with jumps. Again, we were able to obtain low variance estimates of the prices, OEBs, and sensitivities.
