Approximation of the invariant law of SPDEs: error analysis using a Poisson equation for a full-discretization scheme

We study the long-time behavior of fully discretized semilinear SPDEs with additive space-time white noise, which admit a unique invariant probability measure $μ$. We show that the average of regular enough test functions with respect to the (possibly non unique) invariant laws of the approximations are close to the corresponding quantity for $μ$. More precisely, we analyze the rate of the convergence with respect to the different discretization parameters. Here we focus on the discretization in time thanks to a scheme of Euler type, and on a Finite Element discretization in space. The results rely on the use of a Poisson equation; we obtain that the rates of convergence for the invariant laws are given by the weak order of the discretization on finite time intervals: order $1/2$ with respect to the time-step and order $1$ with respect to the mesh-size.
