Consistency and Stability of a Milstein-Galerkin Finite Element Scheme for Semilinear SPDE

(Report number 2013-20)

Abstract
We present an abstract concept for the error analysis of numerical schemes for semilinear stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) and demonstrate its usefulness by proving the strong convergence of a Milstein-Galerkin finite element scheme. By a suitable generalization of the notion of bistability from Beyn & Kruse (DCDS B, 2010) to the semigroup framework in Hilbert spaces, our main result includes a two-sided error estimate of the spatio-temporal discretization. In an additional section we derive an analogous result for a Milstein-Galerkin finite element scheme with truncated noise.

Keywords: semilinear SPDE, Milstein, Galerkin finite element methods, strong convergence, spatio-temporal discretization, Spijker norm, bistability, consistency, two-sided error estimate
