Three kinds of novel multi-symplectic methods for stochastic Hamiltonian partial differential equations

Abstract

Stochastic Hamiltonian partial differential equations, which possess the multi-symplectic conservation law, are an important and fairly large class of systems. The multi-symplectic methods inheriting the geometric features of stochastic Hamiltonian partial differential equations provide numerical approximations with better numerical stability, and are of vital significance for obtaining correct numerical results. In this paper, we propose three novel multi-symplectic methods for stochastic Hamiltonian partial differential equations based on the local radial basis function collocation method, the splitting technique and the partitioned Runge–Kutta method. Specific numerical methods are presented for nonlinear stochastic wave equations, stochastic nonlinear Schrödinger equations, stochastic Korteweg-de Vries equations and stochastic Maxwell equations. We take stochastic wave equations as examples to perform numerical experiments, which indicate the validity of the proposed methods.
