Abstract:

We generalise and study the convergence analysis of a method which was computationally presented by the authors in J. Comp. Phys. in 2011, where a quasi-Monte Carlo method combined with a circulant embedding/FFT method was used to sample from a lognormal random field. The method allows to sample form very rough random fields without the need to truncate a KL series expansion.
