Abstract

In this work we compare different families of nested quadrature points, i.e. the classic Clenshaw–Curtis and various kinds of Leja points, in the context of the quasi-optimal sparse grid approximation of random elliptic PDEs. Numerical evidence suggests that both families perform comparably within such framework.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Also known as admissible sets or lower sets, i.e. such that \(\forall \,\mathbf{i} \in \mathcal{I}(\mathrm{w})\) and \(\forall \,\mathbf{j} \in \mathbb{N}_{+}^{N}\) s.t. j ≤ i, there holds \(\mathbf{j} \in \mathcal{I}(\mathrm{w})\), where the inequality is to be understood component-wise.

  2. 2.

    When 2m + 1 p-Disk Leja points are computed, they coincide with the Clenshaw–Curtis points.
