A stochastic Galerkin method for Maxwell equations with uncertainty

In this article, we investigate a stochastic Galerkin method for the Maxwell equations with random inputs. The generalized Polynomial Chaos (gPC) expansion technique is used to obtain a deterministic system of the gPC expansion coefficients. The regularity of the solution with respect to the random is analyzed. On the basis of the regularity results, the optimal convergence rate of the stochastic Galerkin approach for Maxwell equations with random inputs is proved. Numerical examples are presented to support the theoretical analysis.
