  44. THINGS WE HAVEN’T TALKED ABOUT How do the subspaces relate

    to each other? How do you construct the function of the active variables? f( x ) ⇡ g(UT x ) What is the cost trade-off between estimating subspaces versus solving the problem? How does this relate to standard sensitivity analysis? How do you exploit this important subspaces for integration / optimization? How might I gain insight into my system from important subspaces? Is there a way to classify problems that have such important subspaces? How do these ideas extend? Nonlinearity, manifolds, … How do we know the computational approximations are any good?

    to reduce the dimension! There are many notions of important subspaces; they arise in several applications. Important subspaces are discoverable and exploitable for answering science questions. TAKE HOMES
