Abstract

We consider the numerical approximation of a general second order semi--linear parabolic stochastic partial differential equation (SPDEs) driven by space-time noise, for multiplicative and additive noise. We examine convergence of exponential integrators for multiplicative and additive noise. We consider noise that is in trace class and give a convergence proof in the mean square L2L^{2} norm. We discretize in space with the finite element method and in our implementation we examine both the finite element and the finite volume methods. We present results for a linear reaction diffusion equation in two dimensions as well as a nonlinear example of two-dimensional stochastic advection diffusion reaction equation motivated from realistic porous media flow.
