Strong convergence of adaptive time-stepping schemes for the stochastic Allen--Cahn equation

It is known in \cite{beccari} that the standard explicit Euler-type scheme (such as the exponential Euler and the linear-implicit Euler schemes) with a uniform timestep, though computationally efficient, may diverge for the stochastic Allen--Cahn equation. To overcome the divergence, this paper proposes and analyzes adaptive time-stepping schemes, which adapt the timestep at each iteration to control numerical solutions from instability. The \textit{a priori} estimates in $\mathcal {C}(\mathcal {O})$-norm and $\dot{H}^β(\mathcal{O})$-norm of numerical solutions are established provided the adaptive timestep function is suitably bounded, which plays a key role in the convergence analysis. We show that the adaptive time-stepping schemes converge strongly with order $\fracβ{2}$ in time and $\fracβ{d}$ in space with $d$ ($d=1,2,3$) being the dimension and $β\in(0,2]$. Numerical experiments show that the adaptive time-stepping schemes are simple to implement and at a lower computational cost than a scheme with the uniform timestep.

Probabilistic limit behaviors of numerical discretizations for time-homogeneous Markov processes

In order to give quantitative estimates for approximating the ergodic limit, we investigate probabilistic limit behaviors of time-averaging estimators of numerical discretizations for a class of time-homogeneous Markov processes, by studying the corresponding strong law of large numbers and the central limit theorem. Verifiable general sufficient conditions are proposed to ensure these limit behaviors, which are related to the properties of strong mixing and strong convergence for numerical discretizations of Markov processes. Our results hold for test functionals with lower regularity compared with existing results, and the analysis does not require the existence of the Poisson equation associated with the underlying Markov process. Notably, our results are applicable to numerical discretizations for a large class of stochastic systems, including stochastic ordinary differential equations, infinite dimensional stochastic evolution equations, and stochastic functional differential equations.

Error analysis of numerical methods on graded meshes for stochastic Volterra equations

This paper presents the error analysis of numerical methods on graded meshes for stochastic Volterra equations with weakly singular kernels. We first prove a novel regularity estimate for the exact solution via analyzing the associated convolution structure. This reveals that the exact solution exhibits an initial singularity in the sense that its Hölder continuous exponent on any neighborhood of $t=0$ is lower than that on every compact subset of $(0,T]$. Motivated by the initial singularity, we then construct the Euler--Maruyama method, fast Euler--Maruyama method, and Milstein method based on graded meshes. By establishing their pointwise-in-time error estimates, we give the grading exponents of meshes to attain the optimal uniform-in-time convergence orders, where the convergence orders improve those of the uniform mesh case. Numerical experiments are finally reported to confirm the sharpness of theoretical findings.

Convergence analysis for minimum action methods coupled with a finite difference method

The minimum action method (MAM) is an effective approach to numerically solving minimums and minimizers of Freidlin--Wentzell (F-W) action functionals, which is used to study the most probable transition path and probability of the occurrence of transitions for stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with small noise. In this paper, we focus on MAMs based on a finite difference method, and present the convergence analysis of minimums and minimizers of the discrete F-W action functional. The main result shows that the convergence orders of the minimum of the discrete F-W action functional in the cases of multiplicative noises and additive noises are $1/2$ and $1$, respectively. Our main result also reveals the convergence of the stochastic $θ$-method for SDEs with small noise in terms of large deviations.

Mittag--Leffler Euler integrator and large deviations for stochastic space-time fractional diffusion equations

Stochastic space-time fractional diffusion equations often appear in the modeling of the heat propagation in non-homogeneous medium. In this paper, we firstly investigate the Mittag--Leffler Euler integrator of a class of stochastic space-time fractional diffusion equations, whose super-convergence order is obtained by developing a helpful decomposition way for the time-fractional integral. Here, the developed decomposition way is the key to dealing with the singularity of the solution operator. Moreover, we study the Freidlin--Wentzell type large deviation principles of the underlying equation and its Mittag--Leffler Euler integrator based on the weak convergence approach. In particular, we prove that the large deviation rate function of the Mittag--Leffler Euler integrator $Γ$-converges to that of the underlying equation.

Novel structure-preserving schemes for stochastic Klein--Gordon--Schrödinger equations with additive noise

Stochastic Klein--Gordon--Schrödinger (KGS) equations are important mathematical models and describe the interaction between scalar nucleons and neutral scalar mesons in the stochastic environment. In this paper, we propose novel structure-preserving schemes to numerically solve stochastic KGS equations with additive noise, which preserve averaged charge evolution law, averaged energy evolution law, symplecticity, and multi-symplecticity. By applying central difference, sine pseudo-spectral method, or finite element method in space and modifying finite difference in time, we present some charge and energy preserved fully-discrete scheme for the original system. In addition, combining the symplectic Runge-Kutta method in time and finite difference in space, we propose a class of multi-symplectic discretizations preserving the geometric structure of the stochastic KGS equation. Finally, numerical experiments confirm theoretical findings.

An adaptive time-stepping fully discrete scheme for stochastic NLS equation: Strong convergence and numerical asymptotics

In this paper, we propose and analyze an adaptive time-stepping fully discrete scheme which possesses the optimal strong convergence order for the stochastic nonlinear Schrödinger equation with multiplicative noise. Based on the splitting skill and the adaptive strategy, the $H^1$-exponential integrability of the numerical solution is obtained, which is a key ingredient to derive the strong convergence order. We show that the proposed scheme converges strongly with orders $\frac12$ in time and $2$ in space. To investigate the numerical asymptotic behavior, we establish the large deviation principle for the numerical solution. This is the first result on the study of the large deviation principle for the numerical scheme of stochastic partial differential equations with superlinearly growing drift. And as a byproduct, the error of the masses between the numerical and exact solutions is finally obtained.

Ergodic numerical approximations for stochastic Maxwell equations

In this paper, we propose a novel kind of numerical approximations to inherit the ergodicity of stochastic Maxwell equations. The key to proving the ergodicity lies in the uniform regularity estimates of the numerical solutions with respect to time, which are established by analyzing some important physical quantities. By introducing an auxiliary process, we show that the mean-square convergence order of the ergodic discontinuous Galerkin full discretization is $\frac{1}{2}$ in the temporal direction and $\frac{1}{2}$ in the spatial direction, which provides the convergence order of the numerical invariant measure to the exact one in $L^2$-Wasserstein distance.

Semi-implicit energy-preserving numerical schemes for stochastic wave equation via SAV approach

In this paper, we propose and analyze semi-implicit numerical schemes for the stochastic wave equation (SWE) with general nonlinearity and multiplicative noise. These numerical schemes, called stochastic scalar auxiliary variable (SAV) schemes, are constructed by transforming the considered SWE into a higher dimensional stochastic system with a stochastic SAV. We prove that they can be solved explicitly and preserve the modified energy evolution law and the regularity structure of the original system. These structure-preserving properties are the keys to overcoming the mutual effect of the noise and nonlinearity. By proving new regularity estimates of the introduced SAV, we establish the strong convergence rate of stochastic SAV schemes and the further fully-discrete schemes with the finite element method in spatial direction. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first result on the construction and strong convergence of semi-implicit energy-preserving schemes for nonlinear SWE.

Optimal Hölder Continuity and Hitting Probabilities for SPDEs with Rough Fractional Noises

We investigate the optimal Hölder continuity and hitting probabilities for systems of stochastic heat equations and stochastic wave equations driven by an additive fractional Brownian sheet with temporal index $1/2$ and spatial index $H\le1/2$. Using stochastic calculus for fractional Brownian motion, we prove that these systems are well-posed and the solutions are Hölder continuous. Furthermore, the optimal Hölder exponents are obtained, which is the first result, as far as we knew, on the optimal Hölder continuity of SHEs and SWEs driven by fractional Brownian sheet that is rough in space. Based on this sharp regularity, we obtain lower and upper bounds of hitting probabilities of the solutions in terms of Bessel--Riesz capacity and Hausdorff measure, respectively.

Central limit theorem for full discretization of parabolic SPDE

In order to characterize the fluctuation between the ergodic limit and the time-averaging estimator of a full discretization in a quantitative way, we establish a central limit theorem for the full discretization of the parabolic stochastic partial differential equation. The theorem shows that the normalized time-averaging estimator converges to a normal distribution with the variance being the same as that of the continuous case, where the scale used for the normalization corresponds to the temporal strong convergence order of the considered full discretization. A key ingredient in the proof is to extract an appropriate martingale difference series sum from the normalized time-averaging estimator so that the convergence to the normal distribution of such a sum and the convergence to zero in probability of the remainder are well balanced. The main novelty of our method to balance the convergence lies in proposing an appropriately modified Poisson equation so as to possess the space-independent regularity estimates. As a byproduct, the full discretization is shown to fulfill the weak law of large numbers, namely, the time-averaging estimator converges to the ergodic limit in probability.

Convergence analysis of a finite difference method for stochastic Cahn--Hilliard equation

This paper presents the convergence analysis of the spatial finite difference method (FDM) for the stochastic Cahn--Hilliard equation with Lipschitz nonlinearity and multiplicative noise. Based on fine estimates of the discrete Green function, we prove that both the spatial semi-discrete numerical solution and its Malliavin derivative have strong convergence order $1$. Further, by showing the negative moment estimates of the exact solution, we obtain that the density of the spatial semi-discrete numerical solution converges in $L^1(\mathbb R)$ to the exact one. Finally, we apply an exponential Euler method to discretize the spatial semi-discrete numerical solution in time and show that the temporal strong convergence order is nearly $\frac38$, where a difficulty we overcome is to derive the optimal Hölder continuity of the spatial semi-discrete numerical solution.

Three kinds of novel multi-symplectic methods for stochastic Hamiltonian partial differential equations

Stochastic Hamiltonian partial differential equations, which possess the multi-symplectic conservation law, are an important and fairly large class of systems. The multi-symplectic methods inheriting the geometric features of stochastic Hamiltonian partial differential equations provide numerical approximations with better numerical stability, and are of vital significance for obtaining correct numerical results. In this paper, we propose three novel multi-symplectic methods for stochastic Hamiltonian partial differential equations based on the local radial basis function collocation method, the splitting technique, and the partitioned Runge-Kutta method. Concrete numerical methods are presented for nonlinear stochastic wave equations, stochastic nonlinear Schrödinger equations, stochastic Korteweg-de Vries equations and stochastic Maxwell equations. We take stochastic wave equations as examples to perform numerical experiments, which indicate the validity of the proposed methods.

Strong error analysis of Euler methods for overdamped generalized Langevin equations with fractional noise: Nonlinear case

This paper considers the strong error analysis of the Euler and fast Euler methods for nonlinear overdamped generalized Langevin equations driven by the fractional noise. The main difficulty lies in handling the interaction between the fractional Brownian motion and the singular kernel, which is overcome by means of the Malliavin calculus and fine estimates of several multiple singular integrals. Consequently, these two methods are proved to be strongly convergent with order nearly $\min\{2(H+α-1), α\}$, where $H \in (1/2,1)$ and $α\in(1-H,1)$ respectively characterize the singularity levels of fractional noises and singular kernels in the underlying equation. This result improves the existing convergence order $H+α-1$ of Euler methods for the nonlinear case, and gives a positive answer to the open problem raised in [4]. As an application of the theoretical findings, we further investigate the complexity of the multilevel Monte Carlo simulation based on the fast Euler method, which turns out to behave better performance than the standard Monte Carlo simulation when computing the expectation of functionals of the considered equation.

Structure-preserving splitting methods for stochastic logarithmic Schrödinger equation via regularized energy approximation

In this paper, we study two kinds of structure-preserving splitting methods, including the Lie--Trotter type splitting method and the finite difference type method, for the stochasticlogarithmic Schrödinger equation (SlogS equation) via a regularized energy approximation. We first introduce a regularized SlogS equation with a small parameter $0<ε\ll1$ which approximates the SlogS equation and avoids the singularity near zero density. Then we present a priori estimates, the regularized entropy and energy, and the stochastic symplectic structure of the proposed numerical methods. Furthermore, we derive both the strong convergence rates and the convergence rates of the regularized entropy and energy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first result concerning the construction and analysis of numerical methods for stochastic Schrödinger equations with logarithmic nonlinearities.

Large deviations principles of sample paths and invariant measures of numerical methods for parabolic SPDEs

For parabolic stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs), we show that the numerical methods, including the spatial spectral Galerkin method and further the full discretization via the temporal accelerated exponential Euler method, satisfy the uniform sample path large deviations. Combining the exponential tail estimate of invariant measures, we establish the large deviations principles (LDPs) of invariant measures of these numerical methods. Based on the error estimate between the rate function of the considered numerical methods and that of the original equation, we prove that these numerical methods can weakly asymptotically preserve the LDPs of sample paths and invariant measures of the original equation. This work provides an approach to proving the weakly asymptotical preservation for the above two LDPs for SPDEs with small noise via numerical methods, by means of the minimization sequences.

Energy-preserving fully-discrete schemes for nonlinear stochastic wave equations with multiplicative noise

In this paper, we focus on constructing numerical schemes preserving the averaged energy evolution law for nonlinear stochastic wave equations driven by multiplicative noise. We first apply the compact finite difference method and the interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin finite element method to discretize space variable and present two semi-discrete schemes, respectively. Then we make use of the discrete gradient method and the Padé approximation to propose efficient fully-discrete schemes. These semi-discrete and fully-discrete schemes are proved to preserve the discrete averaged energy evolution law. In particular, we also prove that the proposed fully-discrete schemes exactly inherit the averaged energy evolution law almost surely if the considered model is driven by additive noise. Numerical experiments are given to confirm theoretical findings.
