Description
Summary:We considered an hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) method for discrete elliptic PDEs with random coefficients. By an approach of projection, we obtained the error analysis under the assumption that <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>a</mi><mo>(</mo><mi>ω</mi><mo>,</mo><mi>x</mi><mo>)</mo></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> is uniformly bounded. Together with the HDG method, we applied a multilevel Monte Carlo (MLMC) method (MLMC-HDG method) to simulate the random elliptic PDEs. We derived the overall convergence rate and total computation cost estimate. Finally, some numerical experiments are presented to confirm the theoretical results.
