In this talk, I explore the application of single level and multilevel Monte Carlo methods for computing key quantities in a stochastic particle system within the mean-field framework.

Experimental design can be vital when experiments are resource exhaustive and time-consuming. In this work, we carry out experimental design in the Bayesian framework. To measure the amount of information, which can be extracted from the data in an experiment, we use the expected information gain as the utility function, which specifically is the expected logarithmic ratio between the posterior and prior distributions.

Multilevel Monte Carlo Acceleration of Seismic Wave Propagation under Uncertainty

1 min read ·
We interpret uncertainty in a model for seismic wave propagation by treating the model parameters as random variables and apply the Multilevel Monte Carlo method to reduce the cost of approximating expected values of selected, physically relevant, quantities of interest (QoI) with respect to the random variables.
