The purpose of this paper is extend recent results of Bonder-Groisman and Foondun-Nualart to the stochastic wave equation. In particular, a suitable integrability condition for non-existence of global solutions is derived.
We consider a non-linear stochastic wave equation driven by space-time white noise in dimension 1. First of all, we state some results about the intermittency of the solution, which have only been carefully studied in some particular cases so far. Th
en, we establish a comparison principle for the solution, following the ideas of Mueller. We think it is of particular interest to obtain such a result for a hyperbolic equation. Finally, using the results mentioned above, we aim to show that the solution exhibits a chaotic behavior, in a similar way as was established by Conus, Joseph, and Khoshnevisan for the heat equation. We study the two cases where 1. the initial conditions have compact support, where the global maximum of the solution remains bounded and 2. the initial conditions are bounded away from 0, where the global maximum is almost surely infinite. Interesting estimates are also provided on the behavior of the global maximum of the solution.
We study existence and uniqueness of distributional solutions to the stochastic partial differential equation $dX - ( u Delta X + Delta psi (X) ) dt = sum_{i=1}^N langle b_i, abla X rangle circ dbeta_i$ in $]0,T[ times mathcal{O}$, with $X(0) = x(x
i)$ in $mathcal{O}$ and $X = 0$ on $]0,T[ times partial mathcal{O}$. Moreover, we prove extinction in finite time of the solutions in the special case of fast diffusion model and of self-organized criticality model.
This paper is based on a formulation of the Navier-Stokes equations developed by P. Constantin and the first author (texttt{arxiv:math.PR/0511067}, to appear), where the velocity field of a viscous incompressible fluid is written as the expected valu
e of a stochastic process. In this paper, we take $N$ copies of the above process (each based on independent Wiener processes), and replace the expected value with $frac{1}{N}$ times the sum over these $N$ copies. (We remark that our formulation requires one to keep track of $N$ stochastic flows of diffeomorphisms, and not just the motion of $N$ particles.) We prove that in two dimensions, this system of interacting diffeomorphisms has (time) global solutions with initial data in the space $holderspace{1}{alpha}$ which consists of differentiable functions whose first derivative is $alpha$ Holder continuous (see Section ref{sGexist} for the precise definition). Further, we show that as $N to infty$ the system converges to the solution of Navier-Stokes equations on any finite interval $[0,T]$. However for fixed $N$, we prove that this system retains roughly $O(frac{1}{N})$ times its original energy as $t to infty$. Hence the limit $N to infty$ and $Tto infty$ do not commute. For general flows, we only provide a lower bound to this effect. In the special case of shear flows, we compute the behaviour as $t to infty$ explicitly.
In this paper we shall establish an existence and uniqueness result for solutions of multidimensional, time dependent, stochastic differential equations driven simultaneously by a multidimensional fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter $H >
frac{1}{2} and a multidimensional standard Brownian motion under a weaker condition than the Lipschitz one.
We prove a stochastic representation formula for the viscosity solution of Dirichlet terminal-boundary value problem for a degenerate Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman integro-partial differential equation in a bounded domain. We show that the unique viscosity
solution is the value function of the associated stochastic optimal control problem. We also obtain the dynamic programming principle for the associated stochastic optimal control problem in a bounded domain.
