Abstract |
|
Consider the following stochastic heat-type equation Lu=ls (u)w˙(t, x), x ∈Rd, t >0; u(0, x)=u0(x), x ∈Rd. The constant
l > 0 is a noise level and s is a Lipschitz continuous function and a differential operator L := ¶t −D2 with its adjoint given by
L∗ = −¶t −D2. We propose a probabilistic representation of the solution to the above equation in terms of a Laplace integral as
follows:
etD2
= ZRd
e−yDkt (y)dy,
where kt (x) is the integral kernel of the transform with D an ‘operational symbol’. The result establishes the existence and uniqueness
of the solution, and give some growth and the second moment upper bound estimate applying the properties of a ‘good kernel’ and
‘approximation to the identity’. |
