Rate of weak convergence of the finite element method for the stochastic heat equation with additive noise
Journal article, 2009

The stochastic heat equation driven by additive noise is discretized in the spatial variables by a standard finite element method. The weak convergence of the approximate solution is investigated and the rate of weak convergence is found to be twice that of strong convergence.
