Recently, we proposed the so-call RPS (rough polyharmonic splines)
basis,
which has the optimal accuracy and localization property for
the numerical
homogenization of divergence form elliptic equation with
rough (L^\infty)
coefficients. The construction is found by the
compactness of solution space.
Surprisingly, this basis can be obtained
by the reformulation of the numerical
homogenization problem as a Bayesian
Inference problem in which a given
PDE with rough coefficients (or mult
i-scale op-
erator) is excited with noise
(random right hand side/source term)
and one tries to
estimate the value
of the solution at a given point based on a finite num
ber of obser-
inference
problem: given a finite number of observations, the basis is
the conditional
expectation when the right hand side of the PDE is
replaced by a Gaussian
random field. This formulation can be applied to
general linear integro-differential
equations, and can be further
extended to finite temperature systems.
