Positivity-preserving schemes for some nonlinear stochastic PDEs

Abstract: We introduce a positivity-preserving numerical scheme for a class of nonlinear stochastic heat equations driven by a purely time-dependent Brownian motion. The construction is inspired by a recent preprint by the authors where one-dimensional equations driven by space-time white noise are considered. The objective of this paper is to illustrate the properties of the proposed integrators in a different framework, by numerical experiments and by giving convergence results.
