  1. A Break of the Complexity of the Numerical Approximation of Nonlinear SPDEs with Multiplicative Noise.

    Abstract

    A new numerical method for stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs)
    of evolutionary type, which is in some sense the infinite dimensional analog of
    Milstein's scheme for finite dimensional stochastic ordinary differential
    equations (SODEs), is introduced and analyzed in this article. The Milstein
    scheme is known to be impressively efficient for scalar one-dimensional SODEs
    but only for some special multidimensional SODEs due to difficult simulations
    of iterated stochastic integrals in the general multidimensional SODE case.

  2. Probabilistic representation for solutions of an irregular porous media type equation: the degenerate case.

    Abstract

    We consider a possibly degenerate porous media type equation over all of
    $\R^d$ with $d = 1$, with monotone discontinuous coefficients with linear
    growth and prove a probabilistic representation of its solution in terms of an
    associated microscopic diffusion. This equation is motivated by some singular
    behaviour arising in complex self-organized critical systems. The main idea
    consists in approximating the equation by equations with monotone
    non-degenerate coefficients and deriving some new analytical properties of the
    solution.
