Zusammenfassung:Active subspace analysis is a useful computational tool to identify and exploit the most important linear combinations in the space of a model’s input parameters. These directions depend inherently on a quantity of interest, which can be represented as a function from input parameters to model outputs. As the dynamics of many plasma models are driven by potentially uncertain parameter values, the utilization of active subspaces to perform global sensitivity analysis represents an important step in understanding how certain physical phenomena depend upon fluctuations in the values of these parameters. In the current paper, we construct and implement new computational methods to quantify the induced uncertainty within the growth rate generated by perturbations in a collisionless plasma modeled by the one-dimensional Vlasov–Poisson system near an unstable, spatially-homogeneous steady state in the linear regime.
