Abstract-Stochastic spectral methods can generate accurate compact stochastic models for electromagnetic problems with material and geometric uncertainties. This letter presents an improved implementation of the maximum-entropy algorithm to compute the density function of an obtained generalized polynomial chaos expansion in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) applications. Instead of using statistical moments, we show that the expectations of some orthonormal polynomials can be better constraints for the optimization flow. The proposed algorithm is coupled with a finite element-boundary element method (FEM-BEM) domain decomposition field solver to obtain a robust computational prototyping for MRI problems with low and high dimensional uncertainties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
