Cayley Splitting for Second-Order Langevin Stochastic Partial Differential Equations

Probability 2017-07-19 v1 Numerical Analysis

Abstract

We give accurate and ergodic numerical methods for semilinear, second-order Langevin stochastic partial differential equations (SPDE). As a byproduct, we also give good geometric numerical methods for their infinite-dimensional Hamiltonian counterpart. These methods are suitable for Hamiltonian Monte Carlo on Hilbert spaces without preconditioning the underlying Hamiltonian dynamics. A key tool in our approach is Krein's theory on strong stability of symplectic maps, which gives us sufficient conditions for stability of symplectic splitting schemes in highly oscillatory Hamiltonian problems.
