Description for Numerical Methods for Stochastic Computations: A Spectral Method Approach
Hardback. Focusing on fundamental aspects of numerical methods for stochastic computations, this book describes the class of numerical methods based on generalized polynomial chaos (gPC). It illustrates through examples Basic gPC methods, and includes polynomial approximation theory and probability theory. Num Pages: 144 pages, 50 line illus. BIC Classification: PBT; UYA. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 242 x 166 x 16. Weight in Grams: 352.
The@ first graduate-level textbook to focus on fundamental aspects of numerical methods for stochastic computations, this book describes the class of numerical methods based on generalized polynomial chaos (gPC). These fast, efficient, and accurate methods are an extension of the classical spectral methods of high-dimensional random spaces. Designed to simulate complex systems subject to random inputs, these methods are widely used in many areas of computer science and engineering. The book introduces polynomial approximation theory and probability theory; describes the basic theory of gPC methods through numerical examples and rigorous development; details the procedure for converting stochastic equations into deterministic ...
