Sensitivity analysis based dimension reduction of multiscale models
In this paper, the sensitivity analysis of a single scale model is employed in order to reduce the input dimensionality of the related multiscale model, in this way, improving the efficiency of its uncertainty estimation. The approach is illustrated with two examples: a reaction model and the standard Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process. Additionally, a counterexample shows that an uncertain input should not be excluded from uncertainty quantification without estimating the response sensitivity to this parameter. In particular, an analysis of the function defining the relation between single scale components is required to understand whether single scale sensitivity analysis can be used to reduce the dimensionality of the overall multiscale model input space
Model Reduction for Multiscale Lithium-Ion Battery Simulation
In this contribution we are concerned with efficient model reduction for
multiscale problems arising in lithium-ion battery modeling with spatially
resolved porous electrodes. We present new results on the application of the
reduced basis method to the resulting instationary 3D battery model that
involves strong non-linearities due to Buttler-Volmer kinetics. Empirical
operator interpolation is used to efficiently deal with this issue.
Furthermore, we present the localized reduced basis multiscale method for
parabolic problems applied to a thermal model of batteries with resolved porous
electrodes. Numerical experiments are given that demonstrate the reduction
capabilities of the presented approaches for these real world applications
Kernel Analog Forecasting: Multiscale Test Problems
Data-driven prediction is becoming increasingly widespread as the volume of
data available grows and as algorithmic development matches this growth. The
nature of the predictions made, and the manner in which they should be
interpreted, depends crucially on the extent to which the variables chosen for
prediction are Markovian, or approximately Markovian. Multiscale systems
provide a framework in which this issue can be analyzed. In this work kernel
analog forecasting methods are studied from the perspective of data generated
by multiscale dynamical systems. The problems chosen exhibit a variety of
different Markovian closures, using both averaging and homogenization;
furthermore, settings where scale-separation is not present and the predicted
variables are non-Markovian, are also considered. The studies provide guidance
for the interpretation of data-driven prediction methods when used in practice.Comment: 30 pages, 14 figures; clarified several ambiguous parts, added

Multiscale Dictionary Learning for Estimating Conditional Distributions
Nonparametric estimation of the conditional distribution of a response given
high-dimensional features is a challenging problem. It is important to allow
not only the mean but also the variance and shape of the response density to
change flexibly with features, which are massive-dimensional. We propose a
multiscale dictionary learning model, which expresses the conditional response
density as a convex combination of dictionary densities, with the densities
used and their weights dependent on the path through a tree decomposition of
the feature space. A fast graph partitioning algorithm is applied to obtain the
tree decomposition, with Bayesian methods then used to adaptively prune and
average over different sub-trees in a soft probabilistic manner. The algorithm
scales efficiently to approximately one million features. State of the art
predictive performance is demonstrated for toy examples and two neuroscience
applications including up to a million features
