We study the dependence of mild solutions to linear stochastic evolution equations on Hilbert space driven by Wiener noise, with drift having linear part of the type $A+varepsilon G$, on the parameter $varepsilon$. In particular, we study the limit and the asymptotic expansions in powers of $varepsilon$ of these solutions, as well as of functionals thereof, as $varepsilon to 0$, with good control on the remainder. These convergence and series expansion results are then applied to a parabolic perturbation of the Musiela SPDE of mathematical finance modeling the dynamics of forward rates.
We study two-dimensional stochastic differential equations (SDEs) of McKean--Vlasov type in which the conditional distribution of the second component of the solution given the first enters the equation for the first component of the solution. Such SDEs arise when one tries to invert the Markovian projection developed by Gyongy (1986), typically to produce an It^o process with the fixed-time marginal distributions of a given one-dimensional diffusion but richer dynamical features. We prove the strong existence of stationary solutions for these SDEs, as well as their strong uniqueness in an important special case. Variants of the SDEs discussed in this paper enjoy frequent application in the calibration of local stochastic volatility models in finance, despite the very limited theoretical understanding.
This work aims to prove the small time large deviation principle (LDP) for a class of stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) with locally monotone coefficients in generalized variational framework. The main result could be applied to demonstrate the small time LDP for various quasilinear and semilinear SPDEs such as stochastic porous media equations, stochastic $p$-Laplace equations, stochastic Burgers type equation, stochastic 2D Navier-Stokes equation, stochastic power law fluid equation and stochastic Ladyzhenskaya model. In particular, our small time LDP result seems to be new in the case of general quasilinear SPDEs with multiplicative noise.
We establish n-th order Frechet differentiability with respect to the initial datum of mild solutions to a class of jump-diffusions in Hilbert spaces. In particular, the coefficients are Lipschitz continuous, but their derivatives of order higher than one can grow polynomially, and the (multiplicative) noise sources are a cylindrical Wiener process and a quasi-left-continuous integer-valued random measure. As preliminary steps, we prove well-posedness in the mild sense for this class of equations, as well as first-order G^ateaux differentiability of their solutions with respect to the initial datum, extending previous results in several ways. The differentiability results obtained here are a fundamental step to construct classical solutions to non-local Kolmogorov equations with sufficiently regular coefficients by probabilistic means.
Let $mathscr{T}$ be the regularity structure associated with a given system of singular stochastic PDEs. The paracontrolled representation of the $sf Pi$ map provides a linear parametrization of the nonlinear space of admissible models $sf M=(g,Pi)$ on $mathscr{T}$, in terms of the family of para-remainders used in the representation. We give an explicit description of the action of the most general class of renormalization schemes presently available on the parametrization space of the space of admissible models. The action is particularly simple for renormalization schemes associated with degree preserving preparation maps; the BHZ renormalization scheme has that property.
We start by introducing a new definition of solutions to heat-based SPDEs driven by space-time white noise: SDDEs (stochastic differential-difference equations) limits solutions. In contrast to the standard direct definition of SPDEs solutions; this new notion, which builds on and refines our SDDEs approach to SPDEs from earlier work, is entirely based on the approximating SDDEs. It is applicable to, and gives a multiscale view of, a variety of SPDEs. We extend this approach in related work to other heat-based SPDEs (Burgers, Allen-Cahn, and others) and to the difficult case of SPDEs with multi-dimensional spacial variable. We focus here on one-spacial-dimensional reaction-diffusion SPDEs; and we prove the existence of a SDDEs limit solution to these equations under less-than-Lipschitz conditions on the drift and the diffusion coefficients, thus extending our earlier SDDEs work to the nonzero drift case. The regularity of this solution is obtained as a by-product of the existence estimates. The uniqueness in law of our SPDEs follows, for a large class of such drifts/diffusions, as a simple extension of our recent Allen-Cahn uniqueness result. We also examine briefly, through order parameters $epsilon_1$ and $epsilon_2$ multiplied by the Laplacian and the noise, the effect of letting $epsilon_1,epsilon_2to 0$ at different speeds. More precisely, it is shown that the ratio $epsilon_2/epsilon_1^{1/4}$ determines the behavior as $epsilon_1,epsilon_2to 0$.
