Parareal algorithms for stochastic Maxwell equations with the damping term driven by additive noise

TL;DR
The paper analyzes strong (mean-square) convergence of two-level parareal algorithms for stochastic Maxwell equations with an additive-noise damping term. By using the stochastic exponential scheme as the coarse propagator and either the exact solver or a stochastic exponential fine propagator, it proves that the iteration-induced error decays with order $O(\triangle T^{k})$ and grows linearly in $k$, under suitable regularity assumptions. Numerical experiments in 1D and 2D confirm linear-in-$k$ convergence and show that increased damping accelerates convergence while larger noise scales perturb the solution. This work extends parareal analysis to stochastic Maxwell systems and highlights practical effects of damping and noise on temporal parallelization efficiency and accuracy.
Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the strong convergence analysis of parareal algorithms for stochastic Maxwell equations with the damping term driven by additive noise. The proposed parareal algorithms proceed as two-level temporal parallelizable integrators with the stochastic exponential integrator as the coarse propagator and both the exact solution integrator and the stochastic exponential integrator as the fine propagator. It is proved that the convergence order of the proposed algorithms linearly depends on the iteration number. Numerical experiments are performed to illustrate the convergence of the parareal algorithms for different choices of the iteration number and the damping coefficient.
