Title
Numerical Methods for Stochastic Computations: A Spectral Method Approach,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The@ first graduatelevel 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 highdimensional 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 ones; using both the Galerkin and collocation approaches; and discusses the distinct differences and challenges arising from highdimensional problems. The last section is devoted to the application of gPC methods to critical areas such as inverse problems and data assimilation.Ideal for use by graduate students and researchers both in the classroom and for selfstudy, Numerical Methods for Stochastic Computations provides the required tools for indepth research related to stochastic computations.The first graduatelevel textbook to focus on the fundamentals of numerical methods for stochastic computationsIdeal introduction for graduate courses or selfstudyFast, efficient, and accurate numerical methodsPolynomial approximation theory and probability theory includedBasic gPC methods illustrated through examples
