TL;DR
This work develops a numerically stable framework for random mean-square Fisher-KPP models with advection by combining spatial semidiscretization with a random exponential time differencing scheme. It proves mean-square stability and positivity under appropriate mesh restrictions, using Metzler matrices and logarithmic norms. A random Lp calculus underpins the analysis, transforming nonlinear random ODEs into computable integral forms. Numerical experiments on a heterogeneous test problem demonstrate that the method accurately reproduces the mean and variance of the solution, validating the approach for uncertainty quantification in reaction-diffusion-advection systems.
Abstract
This paper deals with the construction of numerical stable solutions of random mean square Fisher-KPP models with advection. The construction of the numerical scheme is performed in two stages. Firstly, a semidiscretization technique transforms the original continuous problem into a nonlinear unhomogeneous system of random differential equations. Then, by extending to the random framework the ideas of the exponential time differencing method, a full vector discretization of the problem addresses to a random vector difference scheme. A sample approach of the random vector difference scheme, the use of properties of Metzler matrices and the logarithmic norm allow the proof of stability of the numerical solutions in the mean square sense. In spite of the computational complexity the results are illustrated by comparing the results with a test problem where the exact solution is known.
