Description of  The nth-Order Comprehensive Adjoint Sensitivity Analysis Methodology, Volume II: Overcoming the Curse of Dimensionality: Large-Scale Application (The ... Adjoint Sensitivity Analysis Methodology, 2)

This text describes a comprehensive adjoint sensitivity analysis methodology (nth-CASAM), developed by the author, which enablesthe efficient and exact computation of arbitrarily high-order functional derivatives of model responses to model parameters in large-scale systems. The nth-CASAM framework is set in linearly increasing Hilbert spaces, each of state-function-dimensionality, as opposed to exponentially increasing parameter-dimensional spaces, thereby overcoming the so-called curse of dimensionality in sensitivity and uncertainty analysis. The nth-CASAM is applicable to any model the larger the number of model parameters, the more efficient the nth-CASAM becomes for computing arbitrarily high-order response sensitivities. The book will be helpful to those working in the fields of sensitivity analysis, uncertainty quantification, model validation, optimization, data assimilation, model calibration, sensor fusion, reduced-order modelling, inverse problems and predictive modelling.
