Pathwise Hölder convergence of the implicit-linear Euler scheme for semi-linear SPDEs with multiplicative noise

Abstract

In this article we prove pathwise Holder convergence with optimal rates of the implicit Euler scheme for the abstract stochastic Cauchy problem $$\begin{aligned} \left\{ \begin{aligned} dU(t)&= AU(t)\,dt + F(t,U(t))\,dt + G(t,U(t))\,dW_H(t);\quad t\in [0,T],\\ U(0)&=x_0. \end{aligned}\right. \end{aligned}$$ Here $$A$$ is the generator of an analytic $$C_0$$ -semigroup on a umd Banach space $$X,\,W_H$$ is a cylindrical Brownian motion in a Hilbert space $$H$$ , and the functions $$F:[0,T]\times X\rightarrow X_{\theta _F}$$ and $$G:[0,T]\times X\rightarrow {\fancyscript{L}}(H,X_{\theta _G})$$ satisfy appropriate (local) Lipschitz conditions. The results are applied to a class of second order parabolic SPDEs driven by multiplicative space-time white noise.
