We provide the dual result of the Yamada-Watanabe theorem for mild solutions to semilinear stochastic partial differential equations with path-dependent coefficients. An essential tool is the so-called method of the moving frame, which allows us to reduce the proof to infinite dimensional stochastic differential equations.
We study the following equation begin{equation*} frac{partial u(t,,x)}{partial t}= Delta u(t,,x)+b(u(t,,x))+sigma dot{W}(t,,x),quad t>0, end{equation*} where $sigma$ is a positive constant and $dot{W}$ is a space-time white noise. The initial condition $u(0,x)=u_0(x)$ is assumed to be a nonnegative and continuous function. We first study the problem on $[0,,1]$ with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. Under some suitable conditions, together with a theorem of Bonder and Groisman, our first result shows that the solution blows up in finite time if and only if begin{equation*} int_{cdot}^inftyfrac{1}{b(s)},d s<infty, end{equation*} which is the well-known Osgood condition. We also consider the same equation on the whole line and show that the above condition is sufficient for the nonexistence of global solutions. Various other extensions are provided; we look at equations with fractional Laplacian and spatial colored noise in $mathbb{R}^d$.
The BMO martingale theory is extensively used to study nonlinear multi-dimensional stochastic equations (SEs) in $cR^p$ ($pin [1, infty)$) and backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) in $cR^ptimes cH^p$ ($pin (1, infty)$) and in $cR^inftytimes bar{cH^infty}^{BMO}$, with the coefficients being allowed to be unbounded. In particular, the probabilistic version of Feffermans inequality plays a crucial role in the development of our theory, which seems to be new. Several new results are consequently obtained. The particular multi-dimensional linear case for SDEs and BSDEs are separately investigated, and the existence and uniqueness of a solution is connected to the property that the elementary solutions-matrix for the associated homogeneous SDE satisfies the reverse Holder inequality for some suitable exponent $pge 1$. Finally, we establish some relations between Kazamakis quadratic critical exponent $b(M)$ of a BMO martingale $M$ and the spectral radius of the solution operator for the $M$-driven SDE, which lead to a characterization of Kazamakis quadratic critical exponent of BMO martingales being infinite.
We study a stochastic differential equation driven by a gamma process, for which we give results on the existence of weak solutions under conditions on the volatility function. To that end we provide results on the density process between the laws of solutions with different volatility functions.
One way to define the concentration of measure phenomenon is via Talagrand inequalities, also called transportation-information inequalities. That is, a comparison of the Wasserstein distance from the given measure to any other absolutely continuous measure with finite relative entropy. Such transportation-information inequalities were recently established for some stochastic differential equations. Here, we develop a similar theory for some stochastic partial differential equations.
Recently, a number of authors have investigated the conditions under which a stochastic perturbation acting on an infinite dimensional dynamical system, e.g. a partial differential equation, makes the system ergodic and mixing. In particular, one is interested in finding minimal and physically natural conditions on the nature of the stochastic perturbation. I shall review recent results on this question; in particular, I shall discuss the Navier-Stokes equation on a two dimensional torus with a random force which is white noise in time, and excites only a finite number of modes. The number of excited modes depends on the viscosity $ u$, and grows like $ u^{-3}$ when $ u$ goes to zero. This Markov process has a unique invariant measure and is exponentially mixing in time.
