Simulation of Stochastic Processes by Spectral Representation

摘要: The subject of this paper is the simulation of one-dimensional, uni-variate, stationary, Gaussian stochastic processes using the spectral representation method. Following this methodology, sample functions of the stochastic process can be generated with great computational efficiency using a cosine series formula. These sample functions accurately reflect the prescribed probabilistic characteristics of the stochastic process when the number N of the terms in the cosine series is large. The ensemble-averaged power spectral density …
