Direct tensor-product solution of one-dimensional elliptic equations with parameter-dependent coefficients
Sergey Dolgov, Vladimir A. Kazeev and Boris N. Khoromskij
Abstract
We consider a one-dimensional second-order elliptic equation with a high-dimensional parameter in a hypercube as a parametric domain. Such a problem arises, for example, from the Karhunen-Loève expansion of a stochastic PDE posed in a one-dimensional physical domain. For the discretization in the parametric domain we use the collocation on a tensor-product grid. The paper is focused on the tensor-structured solution of the resulting multiparametric problem, which allows to avoid the curse of dimensionality owing to the use of the separation of parametric variables in the tensor~train and quantized tensor train formats.
We suggest an efficient tensor-structured preconditioning of the entire multiparametric family of one-dimensional elliptic problems and arrive at a direct solution formula. We compare this method to a tensor-structured preconditioned GMRES solver in a series of numerical experiments.
