Abstract
In this letter, the multilevel fast multipole method (MLFMM) is combined with the polynomial chaos expansion (PCE)-based stochastic Galerkin method (SGM) to stochastically model scatterers with geometrical variations that need to be described by a set of correlated random variables (RVs). It is demonstrated how Cholesky decomposition is the appropriate choice for the RVs transformation, leading to an efficient SGM-MLFMM algorithm. The novel method is applied to the uncertainty quantification of the currents induced on a rough surface, being a classic example of a scatterer described by means of correlated RVs, and the results clearly demonstrate its superiority compared to the nonintrusive PCE methods and to the standard Monte Carlo method.
