Uniform weak error estimates for an asymptotic preserving scheme applied to a class of slow-fast parabolic semilinear SPDEs

We study an asymptotic preserving scheme for the temporal discretization of a system of parabolic semilinear SPDEs with two time scales. Owing to the averaging principle, when the time scale separation $ε$ vanishes, the slow component converges to the solution of a limiting evolution equation, which is captured when the time-step size $Δt$ vanishes by a limiting scheme. The objective of this work is to prove weak error estimates which are uniform with respect to $ε$, in terms of $Δt$: the scheme satisfies a uniform accuracy property. This is a non trivial generalization of a recent article in an infinite dimensional framework. The fast component is discretized using the modified Euler scheme for SPDEs introduced in a recent work. Proving the weak error estimates requires delicate analysis of the regularity properties of solutions of infinite dimensional Kolmogorov equations.
