pce_legendre


pce_legendre, an Octave code which sets up the system matrix for a polynomial chaos expansion (PCE), using Legendre polynomials with a linear factor, applied to a 2D partial differential equation (PDE) with a stochastic diffusion coefficient.

We wish to analyze a stochastic PDE of the form:


        -div A(X,Y) grad U(X,Y) = F(X)
      
where

We let X be a space of finite element functions generated by piecewise linear functions associated with a particular triangular dissection of the unit square.

We let Y be the space of polynomials over R^N with total degree at most P.

We seek solutions U in XxY using a polynomial chaos expansion approach.

Usage:

[ nxy, bxy, fxy ] = pce_legendre_linear_assemble ( n, p )
where the input is: and the output is
