Abstract

We study algorithms for approximation of the mild solution 
of stochastic heat equations on the spatial domain ]0,1[^d. 
The error of an algorithm is  defined in L_2-sense.
We derive lower bounds for the error of every algorithm
that uses a total of N evaluations of one-dimensional components 
of the driving Wiener process W. For equations with additive 
noise we derive  matching upper bounds and we construct 
asymptotically optimal algorithms. The error bounds depend on 
N and d, and on the decay of eigenvalues of the covariance of W
in the case of nuclear noise. In the latter case the use of  
non-uniform time discretizations is crucial.
