A Hierarchical Multilevel Markov Chain Monte Carlo Algorithm with Applications to Uncertainty Quantification in Subsurface Flow

In this paper we address the problem of the prohibitively large computational cost of existing Markov chain Monte Carlo methods for large-scale applications with high-dimensional parameter spaces, e.g., in uncertainty quantification in porous media flow. We propose a new multilevel Metropolis--Hastings algorithm and give an abstract, problem-dependent theorem on the …
