  @article{10.1007/978-3-030-75549-2_12, abstract = {Approaches based on order-adaptive regularisation belong to the most accurate variational methods for computing the optical flow. By locally deciding between first- and second-order regularisation, they are applicable to scenes with both fronto-parallel and ego-motion. So far, however, existing order-adaptive methods have a decisive drawback. While the involved first- and second-order smoothness terms already make use of anisotropic concepts, the underlying selection process itself is still isotropic in that sense that it locally chooses the same regularisation order for all directions. In our paper, we address this shortcoming. We propose a generalised order-adaptive approach that allows to select the local regularisation order for each direction individually. To this end, we split the order-adaptive regularisation across and along the locally dominant direction and perform an energy competition for each direction separately. This in turn offers another advantage. Since the parameters can be chosen differently for both directions, the approach allows for a better adaption to the underlying scene. Experiments for MPI Sintel and KITTI 2015 demonstrate the usefulness of our approach. They not only show improvements compared to an isotropic selection scheme. They also make explicit that our approach is able to improve the results from state-of-the-art learning-based approaches, if applied as a final refinement step – thereby achieving top results in both benchmarks.}, author = {Mehl, Lukas and Beschle, Cedric and Barth, Andrea and Bruhn, Andrés}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the International Conference on Scale Space and Variational Methods in Computer Vision (SSVM)}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-030-75549-2_12}, pages = {140--152}, publisher = {Springer}, title = {An Anisotropic Selection Scheme for Variational Optical Flow Methods with Order-Adaptive Regularisation}, url = {https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F978-3-030-75549-2_12}, year = 2021 }

  @misc{UQ_comparison_dataset, abstract = {A variety of methods is available to quantify uncertainties arising within the modeling of flow and transport in carbon dioxide storage, but there is a lack of thorough comparisons. Usually, raw data from such storage sites can hardly be described by theoretical statistical distributions since only very limited data is available. Hence, exact information on distribution shapes for all uncertain parameters is very rare in realistic applications. We discuss and compare four different methods tested for data-driven uncertainty quantification based on a benchmark scenario of carbon dioxide storage. In the benchmark, for which we provide data and code, carbon dioxide is injected into a saline aquifer modeled by the nonlinear capillarity-free fractional flow formulation for two incompressible fluid phases, namely carbon dioxide and brine. To cover different aspects of uncertainty quantification, we incorporate various sources of uncertainty such as uncertainty of boundary conditions, of parameters in constitutive relations, and of material properties. We consider recent versions of the following non-intrusive and intrusive uncertainty quantification methods: arbitrary polynomial chaos, spatially adaptive sparse grids, kernel-based greedy interpolation, and hybrid stochastic Galerkin. The performance of each approach is demonstrated assessing expectation value and standard deviation of the carbon dioxide saturation against a reference statistic based on Monte Carlo sampling. We compare the convergence of all methods reporting on accuracy with respect to the number of model runs and resolution. Finally, we offer suggestions about the methods’ advantages and disadvantages that can guide the modeler for uncertainty quantification in carbon dioxide storage and beyond.}, author = {K{\"o}ppel, Markus and Franzelin, Fabian and Kr{\"o}ker, Ilja and Oladyshkin, Sergey and Wittwar, Dominik and Santin, Gabriele and Barth, Andrea and Haasdonk, Bernard and Nowak, Wolfang and Pfl{\"u}ger, Dirk and Rohde, Christian}, howpublished = {Dataset}, owner = {santinge}, title = {{Datasets and executables of data-driven uncertainty quantification benchmark in carbon dioxide storage}}, url = {https://zenodo.org/records/933827}, year = 2019 }

  @article{barth2016approximation, abstract = {In this paper approximation methods for infinite-dimensional Lévy processes, also called (time-dependent) Lévy fields, are introduced. For square integrable fields beyond the Gaussian case, it is no longer given that the one-dimensional distributions in the spectral representation with respect to the covariance operator are independent. When simulated via a Karhunen–Loève expansion a set of dependent but uncorrelated one-dimensional Lévy processes has to be generated. The dependence structure among the one-dimensional processes ensures that the resulting field exhibits the correct point-wise marginal distributions. To approximate the respective (one-dimensional) Lévy-measures, a numerical method, called discrete Fourier inversion, is developed. For this method, $$L^p$$-convergence rates can be obtained and, under certain regularity assumptions, mean square and $$L^p$$-convergence of the approximated field is proved. Further, a class of (time-dependent) Lévy fields is introduced, where the point-wise marginal distributions are dependent but uncorrelated subordinated Wiener processes. For this specific class one may derive point-wise marginal distributions in closed form. Numerical examples, which include hyperbolic and normal-inverse Gaussian fields, demonstrate the efficiency of the approach.}, author = {Barth, Andrea and Stein, Andreas}, doi = {10.1007/s40072-017-0109-2}, journal = {Stochastics and Partial Differential Equations: Analysis and Computations }, language = {eng}, pages = {286-334}, title = {Approximation and simulation of infinite-dimensional Lévy processes}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1007/s40072-017-0109-2}, volume = 6, year = 2018 }

In the applications of this model, which include mineral processing and wastewater treatment, the rate and composition of the feed flow cannot be given deterministically. Efficient numerical simulation is required to quantify the effect of uncertainty in these control parameters in terms of the response of the clarifier-thickener system. Thus, the problem at hand is one of uncertainty quantification for nonlinear hyperbolic problems with several random perturbations. The presented hybrid stochastic Galerkin method is devised so as to extend the polynomial chaos approximation by multiresolution discretization in the stochastic space. This approach leads to a deterministic hyperbolic system, which is partially decoupled and therefore suitable for efficient parallelisation. Stochastic adaptivity reduces the computational effort.

Risk management corresponds to decisions regarding proportional reinsurance, whereas liquidity management has two components: distribution of dividends and costly equity issuance. Contingent on whether proportional or fixed costs of reinvestment are considered, singular stochastic control or stochastic impulse control techniques are used to seek strategies that maximize the firm value. We find that, in a proportional-costs setting, the optimal strategies are always mixed in terms of risk management and refinancing. In contrast, when fixed issuance costs are too high relative to the firm’s profitability, optimal management does not involve refinancing. We provide analytical specifications of the optimal strategies, as well as a qualitative analysis of the interaction between refinancing and risk management.}, author = {Barth, Andrea and Moreno-Bromberg, Santiago}, doi = {10.1016/j.insmatheco.2014.05.001}, issn = {0167-6687}, journal = {Insurance Math.

The convergence of multilevel Monte Carlo finite element discretizations is analyzed. In particular, it is considered that the multilevel finite element discretization resolves the finest physical length scale, but the coarsest finite element mesh does not, so that the so-called resonance case occurs at intermediate multilevel Monte Carlo sampling levels. It is shown that for first order finite elements in two space dimensions, the multilevel Monte Carlo finite element method converges at the same rate as the corresponding single-level Monte Carlo finite element method, despite the majority of samples being underresolved in the multilevel Monte Carlo finite element estimator. It is proved that switching to a hierarchic multiscale finite element method such as the finite element heterogeneous multiscale method to compute the multilevel Monte Carlo finite element estimator, when only meshes are used which underresolve all physical length scales, implies optimal convergence. Specifically, both methods proposed here allow one to obtain estimates of the expectation of the random solution, with accuracy versus work that is identical to the solution of a single deterministic problem. In the case of the finite element heterogeneous multiscale method the estimate is, moreover, robust with respect to the physical length scales.
