Space-Time Approximation of Local Strong Solutions to the 3D Stochastic Navier–Stokes Equations

Abstract

AbstractWe consider the 3D stochastic Navier–Stokes equation on the torus. Our main result concerns the temporal and spatio-temporal discretisation of a local strong pathwise solution. We prove optimal convergence rates for the energy error with respect to convergence in probability, that is convergence of order (up to) 1 in space and of order (up to) 1/2 in time. The result holds up to the possible blow-up of the (time-discrete) solution. Our approach is based on discrete stopping times for the (time-discrete) solution.
