Numerical computation of the Karhunen--Lo\`eve expansion is computationally challenging in terms of both memory requirements and computing time. We compare two state-of-the-art methods that claim to efficiently solve for the K--L expansion:…
Approximation of elliptic PDEs with random diffusion coefficients typically requires a representation of the diffusion field in terms of a sequence $y=(y_j)_{j\geq 1}$ of scalar random variables. One may then apply high-dimensional…
