  • Weak Convergence Rates for Euler-Type Approximations of Semilinear Stochastic Evolution Equations with Nonlinear Diffusion Coefficients
    2020
    Co-Authors: Arnulf Jentzen, Ryan Kurniawan
    Abstract:

    Strong Convergence rates for time-discrete numerical approximations of semilinear stochastic evolution equations (SEEs) with smooth and regular nonlinearities are well understood in the literature. Weak Convergence rates for time-discrete numerical approximations of such SEEs have, loosely speaking, been investigated since 2003 and are far away from being well understood: roughly speaking, no essentially sharp Weak Convergence rates are known for time-discrete numerical approximations of parabolic SEEs with nonlinear diffusion coefficient functions. In the recent article (Conus et al. in Ann Appl Probab 29(2):653–716, 2019 ) this Weak Convergence problem has been solved in the case of spatial spectral Galerkin approximations for semilinear SEEs with nonlinear diffusion coefficient functions. In this article we overcome this Weak Convergence problem in the case of a class of time-discrete Euler-type approximation methods (including exponential and linear-implicit Euler approximations as special cases) and, in particular, we establish essentially sharp Weak Convergence rates for linear-implicit Euler approximations of semilinear SEEs with nonlinear diffusion coefficient functions. Key ingredients of our approach are applications of a mild Itô-type formula and the use of suitable semilinear integrated counterparts of the time-discrete numerical approximation processes.

  • Weak Convergence rates for Euler-type approximations of semilinear stochastic evolution equations with nonlinear diffusion coefficients
    2015
    Co-Authors: Arnulf Jentzen, Ryan Kurniawan
    Abstract:

    Strong Convergence rates for time-discrete numerical approximations of semilinear stochastic evolution equations (SEEs) with smooth and regular nonlinearities are well understood in the literature. Weak Convergence rates for time-discrete numerical approximations of such SEEs have been investigated since about 12 years and are far away from being well understood: roughly speaking, no essentially sharp Weak Convergence rates are known for time-discrete numerical approximations of parabolic SEEs with nonlinear diffusion coefficient functions; see Remark 2.3 in [A. Debussche, Weak approximation of stochastic partial differential equations: the nonlinear case, Math. Comp. 80 (2011), no. 273, 89-117] for details. In the recent article [D. Conus, A. Jentzen & R. Kurniawan, Weak Convergence rates of spectral Galerkin approximations for SPDEs with nonlinear diffusion coefficients, arXiv:1408.1108] the Weak Convergence problem emerged from Debussche's article has been solved in the case of spatial spectral Galerkin approximations for semilinear SEEs with nonlinear diffusion coefficient functions. In this article we overcome the problem emerged from Debussche's article in the case of a class of time-discrete Euler-type approximation methods (including exponential and linear-implicit Euler approximations as special cases) and, in particular, we establish essentially sharp Weak Convergence rates for linear-implicit Euler approximations of semilinear SEEs with nonlinear diffusion coefficient functions. Key ingredients of our approach are applications of a mild It\^o type formula and the use of suitable semilinear integrated counterparts of the time-discrete numerical approximation processes.

  • Weak Convergence rates of spectral galerkin approximations for spdes with nonlinear diffusion coefficients
    2014
    Co-Authors: Daniel Conus, Arnulf Jentzen, Ryan Kurniawan
    Abstract:

    Strong Convergence rates for (temporal, spatial, and noise) numerical approximations of semilinear stochastic evolution equations (SEEs) with smooth and regular nonlinearities are well understood in the scientific literature. Weak Convergence rates for numerical approximations of such SEEs have been investigated since about 11 years and are far away from being well understood: roughly speaking, no essentially sharp Weak Convergence rates are known for parabolic SEEs with nonlinear diffusion coefficient functions; see Remark 2.3 in [A. Debussche, Weak approximation of stochastic partial differential equations: the nonlinear case, Math. Comp. 80 (2011), no. 273, 89-117] for details. In this article we solve the Weak Convergence problem emerged from Debussche's article in the case of spectral Galerkin approximations and establish essentially sharp Weak Convergence rates for spatial spectral Galerkin approximations of semilinear SEEs with nonlinear diffusion coefficient functions. Our solution to the Weak Convergence problem does not use Malliavin calculus. Rather, key ingredients in our solution to the Weak Convergence problem emerged from Debussche's article are the use of appropriately modified versions of the spatial Galerkin approximation processes and applications of a mild Ito type formula for solutions and numerical approximations of semilinear SEEs. This article solves the Weak Convergence problem emerged from Debussche's article merely in the case of spatial spectral Galerkin approximations instead of other more complicated numerical approximations. Our method of proof extends, however, to a number of other kind of spatial, temporal, and noise numerical approximations for semilinear SEEs.
