On the convergence of generalized polynomial chaos expansions
ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis , Tome 46 (2012) no. 2, pp. 317-339.

A number of approaches for discretizing partial differential equations with random data are based on generalized polynomial chaos expansions of random variables. These constitute generalizations of the polynomial chaos expansions introduced by Norbert Wiener to expansions in polynomials orthogonal with respect to non-Gaussian probability measures. We present conditions on such measures which imply mean-square convergence of generalized polynomial chaos expansions to the correct limit and complement these with illustrative examples.
