Abstract
The explicit Euler scheme and similar explicit approximation schemes (such as the Milstein scheme) are known to diverge strongly and numerically weakly in the case of one-dimensional stochastic ordinary differential equations with superlinearly growing nonlinearities. It remained an open question whether such a divergence phenomenon also holds in the case of stochastic partial differential equations with superlinearly growing nonlinearities such as stochastic Allen-Cahn equations. In this work we solve this problem by proving that full-discrete exponential Euler and full-discrete linear-implicit Euler approximations diverge strongly and numerically weakly in the case of stochastic Allen-Cahn equations. This article also contains a short literature overview on existing numerical approximation results for stochastic differential equations with superlinearly growing nonlinearities.
