  @article{koppel2017comparison, 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 conceptual model definitions and of material properties. We consider recent versions of the following non-intrusive and intrusive uncertainty quantification methods: arbitary 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, M. and Franzelin, F. and Kr\{"o}ker, I. and Oladyshkin, S. and Santin, G. and Wittwar, D. and Barth, A. and Haasdonk, B. and Nowak, W. and Pfl\{"u}ger, D. and Rohde, C.}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/s10596-018-9785-x}, journal = {Comput.

In an offline phase, a set of trajectories is precomputed with a high-accuracy ODE solver for a selected set of parameter samples, and used to train a kernel model which predicts the next point in the trajectory as a function of the last one. This model is cheap to evaluate, and it is used in an online phase for new parameter samples to provide a good initialization point for the nonlinear solver of the implicit integrator. The accuracy of the surrogate reflects into a reduction of the number of iterations until convergence of the solver, thus providing an overall speedup of the full simulation. Interestingly, in addition to providing an acceleration, the accuracy of the solution is maintained, since the ODE solver is still used to guarantee the required precision. Although the method can be applied to a large variety of solvers and different ODEs, we will present in details its use with the Implicit Euler method for the solution of the Burgers equation, which results to be a meaningful test case to demonstrate the method's features.}, author = {Br{\"u}nnette, Tim and Santin, Gabriele and Haasdonk, Bernard}, institution = {University of Stuttgart}, owner = {santinge}, title = {Greedy kernel methods for accelerating implicit integrators for parametric ODEs}, url = {http://www.simtech.uni-stuttgart.de/publikationen/prints.php?ID=1767}, volume = {Proceedings of ENUMATH 2017}, year = 2018 }

  @article{demarchi2018image, abstract = {We propose a novel kernel-based method for image reconstruction from scattered Radon data. To this end, we employ generalized Hermite--Birkhoff interpolation by positive definite kernel functions. For radial kernels, however, a straightforward application of the generalized Hermite--Birkhoff interpolation method fails to work, as we prove in this paper. To obtain a well-posed reconstruction scheme for scattered Radon data, we introduce a new class of weighted positive definite kernels, which are symmetric but not radially symmetric. By our construction, the resulting weighted kernels are combinations of radial positive definite kernels and positive weight functions. This yields very flexible image reconstruction methods, which work for arbitrary distributions of Radon lines. We develop suitable representations for the weighted basis functions and the symmetric positive definite kernel matrices that are resulting from the proposed reconstruction scheme. For the relevant special case, where Gaussian radial kernels are combined with Gaussian weights, explicit formulae for the weighted Gaussian basis functions and the kernel matrices are given. Supporting numerical examples are finally presented.}, author = {De Marchi, S. and Iske, A. and Santin, G.}, doi = {10.1007/s10092-018-0247-6}, file = {:http\://www.mathematik.uni-stuttgart.de/fak8/ians/publications/files/DeMarchi2017_www_kernel_radon_preprint.pdf:PDF}, issn = {1126-5434}, journal = {Calcolo}, month = {02}, number = 1, owner = {santinge}, pages = 2, title = {Image reconstruction from scattered Radon data by weighted positive definite kernel functions}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1007/s10092-018-0247-6}, volume = 55, year = 2018 }

However, the underlying simulation models may be very time-consuming rendering the simulation task difficult or infeasible. This motivates the need for rapidly computable surrogate models. We address the case of surrogate modeling of functions from vectorial input to vectorial output spaces. These appear, for instance, in simulation of coupled models or in the case of approximating general input--output maps. We review some recent methods and theoretical results in the field of greedy kernel approximation schemes. In particular, we recall the vectorial kernel orthogonal greedy algorithm (VKOGA) for approximating vector-valued functions. We collect some recent convergence statements that provide sound foundation for these algorithms, in particular quasi-optimal convergence rates in case of kernels inducing Sobolev spaces. We provide some initial experiments that can be obtained with non-symmetric greedy kernel approximation schemes.

We consider reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces of $\mathbb R^m$-valued functions which each admit a unique matrix-valued reproducing kernel $k$.

The approximation of a function is a linear combination of matrix-valued kernel evaluations multiplied with coefficient vectors. To guarantee a fast evaluation of the approximant the expansion size, i.e. the number of centers $n$ is desired to be small. We thus present three different greedy algorithms by which a suitable set of centers is chosen in an incremental fashion: First, the $P$-Greedy which requires no function evaluations, second and third, the $f$-Greedy and $f/P$-Greedy which require function evaluations but produce centers tailored to the target function.

  @article{demarchi2013stable, abstract = {Abstract It is well known that radial basis function interpolants suffer from bad conditioning if the basis of translates is used. In the recent work by Pazouki and Schaback (2011), [5], the authors gave a quite general way to build stable and orthonormal bases for the native space N F ( O ) associated to a kernel F on a domain O ? R s . The method is simply based on the factorization of the corresponding kernel matrix. Starting from that setting, we describe a particular basis which turns out to be orthonormal in N F ( O ) and in l 2 , w ( X ) , where X is a set of data sites of the domain O . The basis arises from a weighted singular value decomposition of the kernel matrix. This basis is also related to a discretization of the compact operator T F : N F ( O ) ? N F ( O ) , T F [ f ] ( x ) = ? O F ( x , y ) f ( y ) d y ? x ? O , and provides a connection with the continuous basis that arises from an eigendecomposition of T F . Finally, using the eigenvalues of this operator, we provide convergence estimates and stability bounds for interpolation and discrete least-squares approximation.}, author = {De Marchi, Stefano and Santin, Gabriele}, doi = {10.1016/j.cam.2013.03.048}, file = {:http\://www.mathematik.uni-stuttgart.de/fak8/ians/publications/files/DeMSa2013_www_WSVD_basis.pdf:PDF}, fjournal = {Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics}, issn = {0377-0427}, journal = {J.

  @article{lalegname2008analytical, abstract = {We discuss the propagation of a running crack in a bounded linear elastic body under shear waves for a simplified 2D-model. This model is described by two coupled equations in the actual configuration: a two-dimensional scalar wave equation in a cracked, bounded domain and an ordinary differential equation derived from an energy balance law. The unknowns are the displacement fields u = u ( y , t ) and the one-dimensional crack tip trajectory h = h ( t ). We assume that the crack grows straight. Based on a paper of Nicaise-S{\"a}ndig, we derive an improved formula for the ordinary differential equation of motion for the crack tip, where the dynamical stress intensity factor occurs. The numerical simulation is an iterative procedure starting from the wave field at time t = t i . The dynamic stress intensity factor will be extracted at t = t i . Its knowledge allows us to compute the crack-tip motion h ( t i +1 ) with corresponding nonuniform crack speed assuming ( t i +1 - t i ) is small. Now, we start from the cracked configuration at time t = t i +1 and repeat the steps. The wave displacements are computed with the FEM-package PDE2D. Some numerical examples demonstrate the proposed method. The influence of finite length of the crack and finite size of the sample on the dynamic stress intensity factor will be discussed in detail.}, affiliation = {Institute of Applied Analysis and Numerical Simulation, University of Stuttgart Pfaffenwaldring 57 70569 Stuttgart Germany}, author = {Lalegname, A. and S{\"a}ndig, A. and Sewell, G.}, doi = {10.1007/s10704-008-9274-7}, issn = {0376-9429}, journal = {International Journal of Fracture}, keyword = {Chemie und Materialwissenschaften}, note = {10.1007/s10704-008-9274-7}, number = 2, pages = {97--125}, publisher = {Springer Netherlands}, title = {Analytical and numerical treatment of a dynamic crack model}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10704-008-9274-7}, volume = 152, year = 2008 }
