Piecewise-polynomial interpolations and quadratures for parametric PDEs with log-Laplace random inputs

We establish a sparsity in terms of ${\mathrm{\ell }}_p$-summability and weighted ${\mathrm{\ell }}_2$-summability for the coefficients of the Laguerre generalized piecewise-polynomial chaos expansion of solutions to parametric elliptic PDEs with log-Laplace random inputs. From the sparsity, we derive convergence rates for semi-discrete approximations with respect to parametric variables. These rates are valid for sparse-grid, piecewise-polynomial interpolations and the generated quadratures, and to related extended least-squares approximations and generated quadratures.
