Finite-Volume approximation of the invariant measure of a viscous stochastic scalar conservation law
share
We aim to give a numerical approximation of the invariant measure of a viscous scalar conservation law, one-dimensional and periodic in the space variable, and stochastically forced with a white-in-time but spatially correlated noise. The flux function is assumed to be locally Lipschitz and to have at most polynomial growth. The numerical scheme we employ discretises the SPDE according to a finite volume method in space, and a split-step backward Euler method in time. As a first result, we prove the well-posedness as well as the existence and uniqueness of an invariant measure for both the spatial semi-discretisation and the fully discrete scheme. Our main result is then the convergence of the invariant measures of the discrete approximations, as the space and time steps go to zero, towards the invariant measure of the SPDE, with respect to the second-order Wasserstein distance. A few numerical experiments are performed to illustrate these results.
