This paper is concerned with the numerical solution of model-based, Bayesian inverse problems. We are particularly interested in cases where the cost of each likelihood evaluation (forward-model call) is expensive and the number of un-…

We study data-driven decision-making problems in the Bayesian framework, where the expectation in the Bayes risk is replaced by a risk-sensitive entropic risk measure. We focus on problems where calculating the posterior distribution is…

In this work we develop a Bayesian setting to infer unknown parameters in initial-boundary value problems related to linear parabolic partial differential equations. We realistically assume that the boundary data are noisy, for a given…

Inverse problems in computational mechanics consist of inferring physical fields that are latent in the model describing some observable fields. For instance, an inverse problem of interest is inferring the Reynolds stress field in the…

In certain applications involving the solution of a Bayesian inverse problem, it may not be possible or desirable to evaluate the full posterior, e.g. due to the high computational cost of doing so. This problem motivates the use of…

We study the inverse Robin problem for the Schr\"odinger equation in a half-space. The potential is assumed to be compactly supported. We first solve the direct problem for dimensions two and three. We then show that the Robin-to-Robin map…
