Finite element methods for semilinear elliptic stochastic partial differential equations (Q879927)

The authors study finite element methods for the boundary value problem for semilinear stochastic elliptic partial differential equations driven by additive white noise \[ \begin{aligned} -\Delta u(x)+ f(u(x)) &= g(x)+\dot W(x),\quad x\in\Omega,\\ u(x) &= 0,\quad x\in\partial\Omega,\end{aligned} \] where \(\Omega\) is a bounded open set of \(\mathbb{R}^2\), \(\dot W(x)\) is a white noise. Error estimates are established. Numerical examples are presented.
