On the backward Euler approximation of the stochastic Allen-Cahn equation
Journal article, 2015

We consider the stochastic Allen-Cahn equation perturbed by smooth additive Gaussian noise in a spatial domain with smooth boundary in dimension d ≤ 3, and study the semidiscretization in time of the equation by an implicit Euler method. We show that the method converges pathwise with a rate O(Δt^γ) for any γ < ½. We also prove that the scheme converges uniformly in the strong L^p -sense but with no rate given.
