My research focuses on the numerical analysis of high-dimensional partial differential equations. Such problems arise, for instance, in quantum physics and in the deterministic treatment of uncertainty quantification. I am especially interested in understanding the computational complexity of nonlinear approximation methods such as low-rank tensor decompositions, which can exploit particular structural features beyond classical smoothness. Results in this direction include solvers of near-optimal complexity with adaptive discretizations [1,2], iterative solvers with quasi-optimal rank bounds based on soft thresholding [3], and low-rank approximability of parametric PDEs [4,5]. Another approach that is well established for problems with stochastic coefficients are sparse tensor product polynomial expansions. In [6,7,8], we have obtained new results that demonstrate the dependence of convergence rates on the type of parametrisation of the given random fields.
These recent results are an example of the central role that choices of coordinates, or choices of basis expansions for function spaces, often play in the treatment of high-dimensional problems. In the case of differential equations with stochastic coefficients, I pursue questions in this direction that are crucial for highly irregular coefficients, where also challenging problems concerning numerical solvers need to be addressed. In the case of low-rank tensor methods, in many cases one needs to achieve a tradeoff between preserving separable structures and accommodating the topologies prescribed by the mapping properties of the considered operators. Building on the developments in [2], I study such issues in particular in the context of second quantised formulations of quantum-physical models.
