“…Assuming that the integral f 2 ω X dx is finite, a natural approximation space to consider is Π N , using elements p n [ω X ] as basis elements: this simplifies computations and allows straightforward computation of probabilistic moments. Several extensions of this idea have been considered for vector-valued parameters [25], Karhunen-Loeve expansions [12], random fields [3], etc., and arise in applications to micro-channel fluid flow [28], electrochemical processes [4], and electromagnetic systems [20], to name a few.…”
