Resonance based schemes for SPDEs

Resonance based numerical schemes are those in which cancellations in the oscillatory components of the equation are taken advantage of in order to reduce the regularity required of the initial data to achieve a particular order of error and convergence. We investigate the potential for the derivation of resonance based schemes in the context of nonlinear stochastic PDEs. By comparing the regularity conditions required for error analysis to traditional exponential schemes we demonstrate that at orders less than $ \mathcal{O}(t^2) $, the techniques are successful and provide a significant gain on the regularity of the initial data, while at orders greater than $ \mathcal{O}(t^2) $, that the resonance based techniques does not achieve any gain. This is due to limitations in the explicit path-wise analysis of stochastic integrals. As examples of applications of the method, we present schemes for the Schr\"odinger equation and Manakov system accompanied by local error and stability analysis as well as proof of global convergence in both the strong and path-wise sense.
