This paper studies the nonlinear one-dimensional stochastic heat equation driven by a Gaussian noise which is white in time and which has the covariance of a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter 1/4textless{}Htextless{}1/2 in the space variable. The existence and uniqueness of the solution u are proved assuming the nonlinear coefficient is differentiable with a Lipschitz derivative and vanishes at 0. In the case of a multiplicative noise, that is the linear equation, we derive the Wiener chaos expansion of the solution and a Feynman-Kac formula for the moments of the solution. These results allow us to establish sharp lower and upper asymptotic bounds for the moments of the solution.
In this note we consider the parabolic Anderson model in one dimension with time-independent fractional noise $dot{W}$ in space. We consider the case $H<frac{1}{2}$ and get existence and uniqueness of solution. In order to find the quenched asymptotics for the solution we consider its Feynman-Kac representation and explore the asymptotics of the principal eigenvalue for a random operator of the form $frac{1}{2} Delta + dot{W}$.
We study a full discretization scheme for the stochastic linear heat equation begin{equation*}begin{cases}partial_t langlePsirangle = Delta langlePsirangle +dot{B}, , quad tin [0,1], xin mathbb{R}, langlePsirangle_0=0, ,end{cases}end{equation*} when $dot{B}$ is a very emph{rough space-time fractional noise}. The discretization procedure is divised into three steps: $(i)$ regularization of the noise through a mollifying-type approach; $(ii)$ discretization of the (smoothened) noise as a finite sum of Gaussian variables over rectangles in $[0,1]times mathbb{R}$; $(iii)$ discretization of the heat operator on the (non-compact) domain $[0,1]times mathbb{R}$, along the principles of Galerkin finite elements method. We establish the convergence of the resulting approximation to $langlePsirangle$, which, in such a specific rough framework, can only hold in a space of distributions. We also provide some partial simulations of the algorithm.
We derive consistent and asymptotically normal estimators for the drift and volatility parameters of the stochastic heat equation driven by an additive space-only white noise when the solution is sampled discretely in the physical domain. We consider both the full space and the bounded domain. We establish the exact spatial regularity of the solution, which in turn, using power-variation arguments, allows building the desired estimators. We show that naive approximations of the derivatives appearing in the power-variation based estimators may create nontrivial biases, which we compute explicitly. The proofs are rooted in Malliavin-Steins method.
We consider a family of nonlinear stochastic heat equations of the form $partial_t u=mathcal{L}u + sigma(u)dot{W}$, where $dot{W}$ denotes space-time white noise, $mathcal{L}$ the generator of a symmetric Levy process on $R$, and $sigma$ is Lipschitz continuous and zero at 0. We show that this stochastic PDE has a random-field solution for every finite initial measure $u_0$. Tight a priori bounds on the moments of the solution are also obtained. In the particular case that $mathcal{L}f=cf$ for some $c>0$, we prove that if $u_0$ is a finite measure of compact support, then the solution is with probability one a bounded function for all times $t>0$.
We consider the stochastic heat equation with a multiplicative white noise forcing term under standard intermitency conditions. The main finding of this paper is that, under mild regularity hypotheses, the a.s.-boundedness of the solution $xmapsto u(t,,x)$ can be characterized generically by the decay rate, at $pminfty$, of the initial function $u_0$. More specifically, we prove that there are 3 generic boundedness regimes, depending on the numerical value of $Lambda:= lim_{|x|toinfty} |log u_0(x)|/(log|x|)^{2/3}$.
