This paper considers Schrödinger operators, and presents a probabilistic interpretation of the variation (or shape derivative) of the Dirichlet groundstate energy when the associated domain is perturbed. This interpretation relies on the distribution on the boundary of a stopped random process with Feynman-Kac weights. Practical computations require in addition the explicit approximation of the normal derivative of the groundstate on the boundary. We then propose to use this formulation in the...
We consider the following version of the standard problem of empirical estimates in stochastic optimization. We assume that the underlying random vectors are independent and not necessarily identically distributed but that they satisfy a "slow variation" condition in the sense of the definition given in this paper. We show that these assumptions along with the usual restrictions (boundedness and equicontinuity) on a class of functions allow one to use the empirical mean method to obtain a consistent...
In this paper, the linear problem of reactor kinetics with delayed neutrons is studied whose formulation is based on the integral transport equation. Besides the proof of existence and uniqueness of the solution, a special random process and random variables for numerical elaboration of the problem by Monte Carlo method are presented. It is proved that these variables give an unbiased estimate of the solution and that their expectations and variances are finite.
We study the complexity of Banach space valued integration in the randomized setting. We are concerned with r times continuously differentiable functions on the d-dimensional unit cube Q, with values in a Banach space X, and investigate the relation of the optimal convergence rate to the geometry of X. It turns out that the nth minimal errors are bounded by if and only if X is of equal norm type p.
The purpose of the paper is to discuss the applicability of stochastic programming models and methods to civil engineering design problems. In cooperation with experts in civil engineering, the problem concerning an optimal design of beam dimensions has been chosen. The corresponding mathematical model involves an ODE-type constraint, uncertain parameter related to the material characteristics and multiple criteria. As a~result, a~multi-criteria stochastic nonlinear optimization model is obtained....
