Abstract: We analyze several Galerkin approximations of a Gaussian random field $mathcalZcolonmathcalDimesOmegaomathbbR$ indexed by a Euclidean domain $mathcalDsubsetmathbb{R}^d$ whose covariance structure is determined by a negative fractional power $$ of a second-order elliptic differential operator $L:=-ablacdot(Aabla)+kapp{a}^2$. Under minimal assumptions on the domain $mathcalD$, the coefficients $AcolonmathcalDomathbb{R}^{dimesd}$, $kappacolonmathcalDomathbbR$, and the fractional exponent $$, we prove convergence in $L_q(Omega;H^{s}igma(mathcalD))$ and in $L_q(Omega;C^{d}elta(overlinemathcalD))$ at (essentially) optimal rates for (i) spectral Galerkin methods and (ii) finite element approximations. Specifically, our analysis is solely based on $H^{1+alpha}(mathcalD)$-regularity of the differential operator $L$, where $0<alphaleq1$. For this setting, we furthermore provide rigorous estimates for the error in the covariance function of these approximations in $L_{infty}(mathcalDimesmathcalD)$ and in the mixed Sobolev space $H^{sigma,sigma}(mathcalDimesmathcalD)$, showing convergence which is more than twice as fast compared to the corresponding $L_q(Omega;H^{s}igma(mathcalD))$-rate. For the well-known example of such Gaussian random fields, the original Whittle-Mat'ern class, where $L=-Delta+kapp{a}^2$ and $kappaequivoperatornameconst.$, we perform several numerical experiments which validate our theoretical results.
