Implicit Euler method for numerical solution of nonlinear stochastic partial differential equations with multiplicative trace class noise

In this paper, we consider the numerical approximation of stochastic partial differential equations with nonlinear multiplicative trace class noise. Discretization is obtained by spectral collocation method in space, and semi‐implicit Euler method is used for the temporal approximation. Our purpose is to investigate the convergence of the proposed method. The rate of convergence is obtained, and some numerical examples are included to illustrate the estimated convergence rate.
