The forward problems of pattern formation have been greatly empowered by extensive theoretical studies and simulations, however, the inverse problem is less well understood. It remains unclear how accurately one can use images of pattern formation to learn the functional forms of the nonlinear and nonlocal constitutive relations in the governing equation. We use PDE-constrained optimization to infer the governing dynamics and constitutive relations and use Bayesian inference and linearization to quantify their uncertainties in different systems, operating conditions, and imaging conditions. We discuss the conditions to reduce the uncertainty of the inferred functions and the correlation between them, such as state-dependent free energy and reaction kinetics (or diffusivity). We present the inversion algorithm and illustrate its robustness and uncertainties under limited spatiotemporal resolution, unknown boundary conditions, blurry initial conditions, and other non-ideal situations. Under certain situations, prior physical knowledge can be included to constrain the result. Phase-field, reaction-diffusion, and phase-field-crystal models are used as model systems. The approach developed here can find applications in inferring unknown physical properties of complex pattern-forming systems and in guiding their experimental design.
We present a simple and robust strategy for the selection of sampling points in Uncertainty Quantification. The goal is to achieve the fastest possible convergence in the cumulative distribution function of a stochastic output of interest. We assume
The macroscopic behavior of many materials is complex and the end result of mechanisms that operate across a broad range of disparate scales. An imperfect knowledge of material behavior across scales is a source of epistemic uncertainty of the overal
Parameterization of interatomic forcefields is a necessary first step in performing molecular dynamics simulations. This is a non-trivial global optimization problem involving quantification of multiple empirical variables against one or more propert
Ongoing investigations for the improvement of Geant4 accuracy and computational performance resulting by refactoring and reengineering parts of the code are discussed. Issues in refactoring that are specific to the domain of physics simulation are id
A major challenge in next-generation industrial applications is to improve numerical analysis by quantifying uncertainties in predictions. In this work we present a formulation of a fully nonlinear and dispersive potential flow water wave model with
