Conditions are given under which a space-time jump Markov process describing the stochastic model of non-linear chemical reactions with diffusion converges to the homogeneous state solution of the corresponding reaction-diffusion equation. The deviation is measured by a central limit theorem. This limit is a distribution-valued Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process and can be represented as the mild solution of a certain stochastic partial differential equation.

The semidiscrete ordinary differential equation (ODE) system resulting from compact higher-order finite difference spatial discretization of a nonlinear parabolic partial differential equation, for instance, the reaction-diffusion equation, is highly stiff. Therefore numerical time integration methods with stiff stability such as implicit Runge-Kutta methods and implicit multistep methods are required to solve the large-scale stiff ODE system. However those methods are computationally expensive, especially for nonlinear cases. Rosenbrock method is efficient since it is iteration-free; however it suffers from order reduction when it is used for nonlinear parabolic partial differential equation. In this work we construct a new fourth-order Rosenbrock method to solve the nonlinear parabolic partial differential equation supplemented with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary condition. We successfully resolved the phenomena of order reduction, so the new method is fourth-order in time when it is used for nonlinear parabolic partial differential equations. Moreover, it has been shown that the Rosenbrock method is strongly A-stable hence suitable for the stiff ODE system obtained from compact finite difference discretization of the nonlinear parabolic partial differential equation. Several numerical experiments have been conducted to demonstrate the efficiency, stability, and accuracy of the new method.

AbstractUsing a mixture of classical and probabilistic techniques, we investigate the convexity of solutions to the elliptic partial differential equation associated with a certain generalized Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process.
