Numerical Approximation of Stationary Distribution for SPDEs

In this paper, we show that the exponential integrator scheme both in spatial discretization and time discretization for a class of stochastic partial differential equations has a unique stationary distribution whenever the stepsize is sufficiently small, and reveal that the weak limit of the law for the exponential integrator scheme is in fact the counterpart for the stochastic partial differential equation considered.Comment: P2

A modified semi--implict Euler-Maruyama Scheme for finite element discretization of SPDEs with additive noise

We consider the numerical approximation of a general second order semi--linear parabolic stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE) driven by additive space-time noise. We introduce a new modified scheme using a linear functional of the noise with a semi--implicit Euler--Maruyama method in time and in space we analyse a finite element method (although extension to finite differences or finite volumes would be possible). We prove convergence in the root mean square $L^{2}$ norm for a diffusion reaction equation and diffusion advection reaction equation. We present numerical results for a linear reaction diffusion equation in two dimensions as well as a nonlinear example of two-dimensional stochastic advection diffusion reaction equation. We see from both the analysis and numerics that the proposed scheme has better convergence properties than the standard semi--implicit Euler--Maruyama method

Numerical Solution of Stochastic Partial Differential Equations with Correlated Noise

In this paper we investigate the numerical solution of stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) for a wider class of stochastic equations. We focus on non-diagonal colored noise instead of the usual space-time white noise. By applying a spectral Galerkin method for spatial discretization and a numerical scheme in time introduced by Jentzen $\&$ Kloeden, we obtain the rate of path-wise convergence in the uniform topology. The main assumptions are either uniform bounds on the spectral Galerkin approximation or uniform bounds on the numerical data. Numerical examples illustrate the theoretically predicted convergence rate

Galerkin approximations for the stochastic Burgers equation

Existence and uniqueness for semilinear stochastic evolution equations with additive noise by means of finite dimensional Galerkin approximations is established and the convergence rate of the Galerkin approximations to the solution of the stochastic evolution equation is estimated. These abstract results are applied to several examples of stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) of evolutionary type including a stochastic heat equation, a stochastic reaction diffusion equation and a stochastic Burgers equation. The estimated convergence rates are illustrated by numerical simulations. The main novelty in this article is to estimate the difference of the finite dimensional Galerkin approximations and of the solution of the infinite dimensional SPDE uniformly in space, i.e., in the L^{\infty}-topology, instead of the usual Hilbert space estimates in the L^2-topology, that were shown before.Comment: 22 page
