Mathematical models are widely used in physics and engineering applications as predictive tools. However, in many situations, the input parameters of the model are uncertain due to either a lack of knowledge or an intrinsic variability of the system. Examples are the study of subsurface phenomena, biological tissues, complex materials, whose properties are often heterogeneous, not perfectly characterized and, possibly, changing in time in an uncertain way. In this line of research we consider the case in which the uncertainty can be described reasonably well in a probabilistic setting and we
