%0 Journal Article %T Nonlinear stochastic heat equations with cubic nonlinearities and additive Q-regular noise in R^1 %A Henri Schurz %J Electronic Journal of Differential Equations %D 2010 %I Texas State University %X Semilinear stochastic heat equations perturbed by cubic-type nonlinearities and additive space-time noise with homogeneous boundary conditions are discussed in R^1. The space-time noise is supposed to be Gaussian in time and possesses a Fourier expansion in space along the eigenfunctions of underlying Lapace operators. We follow the concept of approximate strong (classical) Fourier solutions. The existence of unique continuous L^2-bounded solutions is proved. Furthermore, we present a procedure for its numerical approximation based on nonstandard methods (linear-implicit) and justify their stability and consistency. The behavior of related total energy functional turns out to be crucial in the presented analysis. %K Semilinear stochastic heat equations %K cubic nonlinearities %K additive noise %K homogeneous boundary conditions %K approximate strong solution %K Fourier expansion %K SPDE %K existence %K uniqueness %K energy %K Lyapunov functionals %K numerical methods %K consistency %K stability %U http://ejde.math.txstate.edu/conf-proc/19/s1/abstr.html
