Abstract

We study fully-discrete approximations and quadratures of infinite-variate functions in abstract Bochner spaces associated with a Hilbert space XX and an infinite-tensor-product Jacobi measure. For target infinite-variate functions taking values in XX which admit absolutely convergent Jacobi generalized polynomial chaos expansions, with suitable weighted summability conditions for the coefficient sequences, we generalize and improve prior results on construction of sequences of finite sparse-grid tensor-product polynomial interpolation approximations and quadratures, based on the univariate Chebyshev points. For a generic stable discretization of XX in terms of a dense sequence (Vm)mN0(V_m)_{m \in \mathbb{N}_0} of finite-dimensional subspaces, we obtain fully-discrete, linear approximations in terms of so-called sparse-grid tensor-product projectors, with convergence rates of approximations as well as of sparse-grid tensor-product quadratures of the target functions. We verify the abstract assumptions in two fundamental application settings: first, a linear elliptic diffusion equation with affine-parametric coefficients and second, abstract holomorphic maps between separable Hilbert spaces with affine-parametric input data encoding. For these settings, as in [37,20], cancellation of anti-symmetric terms in ultra-spherical Jacobi generalized polynomial chaos expansion coefficients implies crucially improved convergence rates of sparse-grid tensor-product quadrature with respect to the infinite-tensor-product Jacobi weight, free from the ``curse-of-dimension". Largely self-contained proofs of all results are developed. Approximation convergence rate results in the present setting which are based on construction of neural network surrogates, for unbounded parameter ranges with Gaussian measures, will be developed in extensions of the present work.
