We formulate elliptic boundary value problems with stochastic loading in a bounded domainD⊂ℝd. We show well-posedness of the problem in stochastic Sobolev spaces and we derive a deterministic elliptic PDE inD×Dfor the spatial correlation of the random solution. We show well-posedness and regularity results for this PDE in a scale of weighted Sobolev spaces with mixed highest order derivatives. Discretization with sparse tensor products of any hierarchic finite element (FE) spaces inDyields optimal asymptotic rates of convergence for the spatial correlation even in the presence of singularities or for spatially completely uncorrelated data. Multilevel preconditioning inD×Dallows iterative solution of the discrete equation for the correlation kernel in essentially the same complexity as the solution of the mean field equation.
