Assessing erosion and flood risk in the coastal zone through the application of the multilevel Monte Carlo method

The risk from erosion and flooding in the coastal zone has the potential to increase in a changing climate. The development and use of coupled hydro-morphodynamic models is therefore becoming an ever…

Multilevel Bayesian Quadrature

This paper proposes to further enhance multilevel Monte Carlo through Bayesian surrogate models of the integrand, focusing on Gaussian process models and the associated Bayesian quadrature estimators, and shows using both theory and numerical experiments that this approach can lead to improvements in accuracy.

This paper derive and analyze multilevel covariance estimators and adapt the MLMC convergence theorem in terms of the corresponding covariances and fourth order moments, which are used in a sensitivity analysis context in order to derive a multileVEL estimation of Sobol' indices.

Higher-order adaptive methods for exit times of Itô diffusions

. We construct a higher-order adaptive method for strong approximations of exit times of Itˆo stochastic differential equations (SDE). The method employs a strong Itˆo–Taylor scheme for simulating SDE…

Lagrangian simulation of wind transport in the urban environment

Fluid element trajectories are computed in inhomogeneous urban‐like flows, the needed wind statistics being furnished by a Reynolds‐averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) model that explicitly resolves…

Flow Boundaries in Random-Flight Dispersion Models: Enforcing the Well-Mixed Condition

Abstract Lagrangian stochastic (LS) dispersion models often use trajectory reflection to limit the domain accessible to a particle. It is shown how the well-mixed condition (Thomson) can he expressed…

Criteria for the selection of stochastic models of particle trajectories in turbulent flows

Many different random-walk models of dispersion in inhomogeneous or unsteady turbulence have been proposed and several criteria have emerged to distinguish good models from bad. In this paper the…

Multilevel Quasi-Monte Carlo methods for lognormal diffusion problems

A rigorous cost and error analysis of a multilevel estimator based on randomly shifted Quasi-Monte Carlo lattice rules for lognormal diffusion problems and shows that in practice theMultilevel QMC method consistently outperforms both the multileVEL MC method and the single-level variants even for non-smooth problems.
