Strong approximation for fractional wave equation forced by fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter
Abstract
We consider the time discretization of fractional stochastic wave equation with Gaussian noise, which is negatively correlated. Major obstacles to design and analyze time discretization of stochastic wave equation come from the approximation of stochastic convolution with respect to fractional Brownian motion. Firstly, we discuss the smoothing properties of stochastic convolution by using integration by parts and covariance function of fractional Brownian motion. Then the regularity estimates of the mild solution of fractional stochastic wave equation are obtained. Next, we design the time discretization of stochastic convolution by integration by parts. Combining stochastic trigonometric method and approximation of stochastic convolution, the time discretization of stochastic wave equation is achieved. We derive the error estimates of the time discretization. Under certain assumptions, the strong convergence rate of the numerical scheme proposed in this paper can reach . Finally, the convergence rate and computational efficiency of the numerical scheme are illustrated by numerical experiments.

Stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) can realistically simulate many phenomena in physical scientific and engineering applications; see BrunedGabriel ; GaoMar ; RyserNig . The theoretical and numerical studies of SPDEs have received much attention Brehier ; BrunedChand ; Jentzen ; Liu1 ; SongZh . While most works of stochastic model in fractional Brownian motion (FBM) are carried out for Hurst parameter (Anh ; Hong ; Kamrani ; LiWang ; Salins ), a FBM with might be more reasonable to model sequences with intermittency and anti-persistence, such as visual feedback effects in biology Boudrahem and option prices in market practice Bayer ; Gatheral ; Simonsen . Sometimes the stochastic disturbance of the source in PDEs is anti-correlated, and it can be well modeled by the FBM with . In this paper, the following stochastic wave equation (SWE) is considered
(1.1) |
with homogenous Dirichlet boundary condition
and the initial condition
Here represents the spectral fractional Laplacian with and . The external fluctuation of (1.1) is characterized by FBM with , is a bounded covariance operator. Let denote a Lispschitz domain.
For , the approximation of (1.1) has been well studied. The discrete schemes of WangGan strongly converge with order in time for arbitrarily small . By using an explicit stochastic position Verlet scheme Banjai , linear convergence was obtained under certain assumptions. Using Itô isometry, authors of LiuDeng constructed a modified stochastic trigonometric method, which achieved superlinear convergence in time. The computation of SWE with has so far received little attention. In the case of , the above methods are not suitable for dealing with fractional noise of (1.1), because the stochastic process is less regular in time. The main challenges lie in time discretization of stochastic convolution with respect to FBM and the corresponding error estimate. Furthermore, we noticed that usually satisfies Lipschitz continuous condition and linear growth condition in the existing work. In this paper, the linear growth condition is replaced by a weaker condition.
The objective of this paper is to derive an effective numerical scheme of (1.1) in time and establish error estimates. The main process is as follows. Firstly, by combining integration by parts, the covariance function of FBM and trigonometric identity, we establish the regularity of mild solution of (1.1) including space regularity and time Hölder continuity. After that, we adapt the stochastic trigonometric method to discretize the problem (1.1) in time. In order to realize the stochastic trigonometric method, a time discretization of stochastic convolution is designed by integration by parts. Finally, the error estimate of time discretization is derived by using time Hölder continuity of mild solution. In addition, under appropriate conditions of noise the strong convergence rate of order is proved by combining integration by parts and covariance function of FBM.
The outline of the rest of this paper is as follows. In section 2, we use a SPDE to define the mild solution of SWE (1.1). We present the regularity estimates of the mild solution in section 3. In section 4, we use integration by parts to reformulate stochastic convolution with respect to FBM into an integral formula, of which it is easy to obtain time discretization of stochastic convolution and corresponding error estimate. Then the discretization of (1.1) in time is designed, and the strong convergence order of discretization is derived. We present numerical experiments to confirm the strong convergence order of our numerical scheme in section 5. At last, some conclusions are given in section 6.
2 Representation of mild solution
In this section, we define the mild solution of SWE (1.1). In addition, in order to obtain regularity estimates of the mild solution, several assumptions are introduced.
First, we introduce the norm space
Let be an orthonormal basis of . For , we have

Then using constant variation method to solve (2.1), we have
(2.3) |
Combining (2.2) and the rule of matrix multiplication, (2.3) can be written as
(2.4) |
The mild solution of SWE (1.1) can be defined by (2.4). The regularity of relies on smoothing properties of in the space . For , we equip this space with the norm

3 Regularity of the Solution
In this section, we establish the regularity estimates of the mild solution for SWE (1.1).
Before establishing the regularity estimates of (1.1), we introduce the definition of stochastic integral with respect to the FBM with Bardina .

Second, we need to discuss the estimate of (3.9) in different cases. As , we have
(3.10) |
Substituting (3.8) into (3.10), we have
(3.11) |
For , due to assumption 2 and (2.5), the following inequality is easily derived.
(3.12) |
By combining (3.9)-(3.12), we deduce that
(3.13) |
Then using the Gronwall inequality, the following equation is obtained
(3.14) |
Finally, combining (3.13) and (3.14), we deduce that
(3.15) |
4 Temporal discretization
We solve (1.1) numerically by discretizing (2.3). To begin, we establish a method for approximating stochastic convolution in (2.3). We define each subinterval , and set for . Using the stochastic trigonometric method get the following equation

(4.1) |
Using (4.1) yields the approximation of
Using a similar method, we approximate .
The above approximation makes numerical simulations of stochastic convolution easy to implement. Then we get a discretization of (2.1)
(4.2) |
The following equation is obtained by applying trigonometric identities.
and
Then using recursion form of (4.2), we get
(4.3) |
and
(4.4) |
Let . Combining (2.4) and (4.3), we have
(4.5) |
Proposition 2
Let and , assumption 1 is satisfied, we have

For , we give the following estimates of and by using the covariance function of FBM.
By integration by parts, we have
and
For , using the fact , we have . Similar to the estimates of and , we have
For , similar to the above estimates, we have
and
The proof of Proposition 2 is completed by combining the preceding estimates.
Last, let’s consider the strong error estimates of the numerical approximation of scheme (4.2). We obtain the following inequalities by using triangle inequality, Theorem 3.1 and Proposition 2.
Proof
5 Numerical Experiments

We use the Ckolesky method to generate the trajectories of FBM. Let denote the discrete solution at time with fixed time step size . The following formula is used to calculates the strong convergence rates in time:
We apply a Monte Carlo method with trajectories to approximate the expectation of stochastic process. The space discretization of (5.1) follows from the spectral Galerkin method with first orthonormal bases, which ensures that the time error is the dominant one.

For , we show the strong convergence of this method with uniform time step , where the error is of order . In the case , the strong convergence rate of the scheme (4.2) is equal to Hölder continuity index of . As , our method strongly converges with order , which is smaller than Hölder continuity index of , because the strong convergence is limited by the approximation error of stochastic convolution.
