Numerical methods for the discretization of random fields by means of the Karhunen–Loève expansion

TL;DR: The FEM and the FCM are more efficient than the EOLE method in evaluating a realization of the random field and are suitable for problems in which the time spent in the evaluation of random field realizations has a major contribution to the overall runtime – e.g., in finite element reliability analysis.

On the accuracy of the polynomial chaos approximation for random variables and stationary stochastic processes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored features and limitations of polynomial chaos (PC) approximations for non-Gaussian random variables and stochastic processes and developed metrics to assess the accuracy of the PC approximation.

Simulation of simply cross correlated random fields by series expansion methods

TL;DR: A practical framework for generating cross correlated fields with a specified marginal distribution function, an autocorrelation function and cross correlation coefficients is presented and it is shown that the errors happen especially in the cross correlation between distant points and that they are negligibly small in practical situations.

Computer rendering of stochastic models

TL;DR: A new algorithm is introduced that computes a realistic, visually satisfactory approximation to fractional Brownian motion in faster time than with exact calculations, and allows complex motion to be created inexpensively.

Simulation of random fields via local average subdivision

TL;DR: A fast and accurate method of generating realizations of a homogeneous Gaussian scalar random process in one, two, or three dimensions is presented, motivated first by the need to represent engineering properties as local averages and second to be able to condition the realization easily to incorporate known data or change resolution within sub‐regions.

Convergence study of the truncated Karhunen-Loeve expansion for simulation of stochastic processes

TL;DR: In this article, the convergence and accuracy of the K-L expansion are investigated by comparing the second-order statistics of the simulated random process with that of the target process, and it is shown that the factors affecting convergence are: (a) ratio of the length of the process over correlation parameter, (b) form of the covariance function, and (c) method of solving for the eigen-solutions of the function.
