Cubature Methods For Stochastic (Partial) Differential Equations In   Weighted Spaces
  The cubature on Wiener space method, a high-order weak approximation scheme, is established for SPDEs in the case of unbounded characteristics and unbounded payoffs. We first introduce a recently described flexible functional analytic framework, so called weighted spaces, where Feller-like properties hold. A refined analysis of vector fields on weighted spaces then yields optimal convergence rates of cubature methods for stochastic partial differential equations of Da Prato-Zabczyk type. The ubiquitous stability for the local approximation operator within the functional analytic setting is proved for SPDEs, however, in the infinite dimensional case we need a newly introduced assumption on weak symmetry of the cubature formula. In finite dimensions, we use the UFG condition to obtain optimal rates of convergence on non-uniform meshes for nonsmooth payoffs with exponential growth.
