Title: Estimating the uncertainty in underresolved nonlinear dynamics

Journal Article · · Mathematics and Mechanics
OSTI ID:1171166

The Mori-Zwanzig formalism of statistical mechanics is used to estimate the uncertainty caused by underresolution in the solution of a nonlinear dynamical system. A general approach is outlined and applied to a simple example. The noise term that describes the uncertainty turns out to be neither Markovian nor Gaussian. It is argued that this is the general situation.
