Abstract
We consider the $\eps$-dependent stochastic Allen-Cahn equation with mild space-
time noise posed on a bounded domain of R^2. The positive parameter $\eps$ is a measure for
the inner layers width that are generated during evolution. This equation, when the noise
depends only on time, has been proposed by Funaki in [15]. The noise although smooth
becomes white on the sharp interface limit as $\eps$ tends to zero. We construct a nonlinear dG scheme
with space-time finite elements of general type which are discontinuous in time. Existence
of a unique discrete solution is proven by application of Brouwer's Theorem. We first derive
abstract error estimates and then for the case of piece-wise polynomial finite elements we
prove an error in expectation of optimal order. All the appearing constants are estimated in
terms of the parameter $\eps$. Finally, we present a linear approximation of the nonlinear scheme
for which we prove existence of solution and optimal error in expectation in piece-wise linear
finite element spaces.
The novelty of this work is based on the use of a finite element formulation in space and
in time in 2+1-dimensional subdomains for a nonlinear parabolic problem. In addition, this
problem involves noise. These type of schemes avoid any Runge-Kutta type discretization
for the evolutionary variable and seem to be very effective when applied to equations of such
a difficulty.
