Notes

The Karhunen Loeve decomposition enables to build some finite approximations of stochastic processes which are optimal with respect to the norm L^2.

We suppose that C:\cD \times \cD \rightarrow \cS^+_d(\Rset) is a covariance function defined on \cD \in \Rset^n, continuous at \vect{0}.

The class KarhunenLoeveAlgorithm enables to determine the solutions of the second kind Fredholm equation associated to C, ie to find the (\lambda_k, \vect{\varphi}_k)_{k \geq 1} such that:

(1)\int_{\cD} \mat{C}(\vect{s},\vect{t}) \vect{\varphi}_k(\vect{t})\, d\vect{t} = \lambda_k \vect{\varphi}_k(\vect{s}) \quad \forall \vect{s} \in \cD

where (\lambda_k)_{k \geq 1} is a nonincreasing sequence of nonnegative values (the eigenvalues) and (\vect{\varphi}_k)_{k \geq 1} the associated sequence of eigenfunctions, normalized by \int_{\cD}\|\vect{\varphi}_k(\vect{s})\|^2\di{\vect{s}}=1. They form an hilbertian basis of L^2(\cD, \Rset^d).

The Mercer theorem shows that the covariance function C writes:

(2)\mat{C}(\vect{s},\vect{t}) = \sum_{k=1}^{+\infty} \lambda_k \vect{\varphi}_k(\vect{s}) \Tr{\vect{\varphi}}_k(\vect{t}) \quad \forall (\vect{s}, \vect{t}) \in \cD \times \cD

The threshold s is used in order to select the most significant eigenvalues, ie all the eigenvalues such that (the infinite sum on the right being replaced by the sum of all computed eigenvalues in numerical algorithms):

(3)K_s = \min \left\{ k \in \Nset \, | \, \sum_{i=1}^{k}{\lambda_i} \geq (1-s) \times \sum_{i \geq 1}^{+\infty} \lambda_i \right\}

The number of significant eigenvalues can also be specified directly by using setNbModes(). In this case, only n eigenvalues will be computed, and the number of selected eigenvalues will be:

(4)K = \min \left\{ n \, , \, K_s \right\}

with K_s as defined in (3).

Thus if threshold is set to 0, the number of selected eigenvalues is set by setNbModes().

To solve (1), we use the functional basis (\theta_p)_{1 \leq p \leq P} of L^2(\cD, \Rset) with P elements defined on \cD. We search the solutions of type:

\tilde{\vect{\varphi}}_k(\vect{t})=\sum_{p=1}^{P} \vect{\phi}_{pk}\theta_p(\vect{t})

where \vect{\phi}_{pk} \in \Rset^d. We note:

\begin{align*} \vect{\Phi}_k = \left( \begin{array}{l} \vect{\phi}_{1k} \\ \dots \\ \vect{\phi}_{Pk} \end{array} \right) \in \Rset^{Pd} \end{align*}

and \mat{\vect{\Phi}} = (\vect{\Phi}_1\, |\, \dots \, | \vect{\Phi}_K) the matrix of the K first modes of the Karhunen Loeve decomposition.

The approximated Fredholm problem writes for all k \geq 1:

\int_{\cD} \mat{C}(\vect{s},\vect{t}) \tilde{\vect{\varphi}}_k(\vect{t})\, d\vect{t} = \lambda_k \tilde{\vect{\varphi}}_k(\vect{s}) \quad \forall \vect{s} \in \cD

which enables to define the residual function \vect{r}: \cD \rightarrow \Rset^d defined by

(5)\vect{r}(\vect{s}) = \int_{\cD} \mat{C}(\vect{s},\vect{t}) \tilde{\vect{\varphi}}_k(\vect{t})\, d\vect{t} - \lambda_k \tilde{\vect{\varphi}}_k(\vect{s})

The Fredholm problem writes:

(6)\vect{r}(\vect{s}) = \vect{0} \quad \forall \vect{s} \in \cD

which is solved either by the Galerkin approach or the collocation approach.
