Abstract: We consider the numerical approximation of a general second order semi–linear parabolic stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE) driven by additive space-time noise. We introduce a new modified scheme using linear functionals of the noise with the semi–implicit Euler–Maruyama method in time, and the finite element method in space (although extension to finite differences or finite volumes would be possible). We prove the convergence in the root mean square L2 norm for a diffusion reaction equation and diffusion advection reaction equation with a large family of Lipschitz nonlinear functions. We present numerical results for a linear reaction diffusion equation in two dimensions as well as a nonlinear example of two-dimensional stochastic advection diffusion reaction equation. We observe from both the analysis and numerics that the proposed scheme has better convergence properties than the standard semi–implicit Euler–Maruyama method.
