Fully-discrete finite element approximations for a fourth-order linear stochastic parabolic equation with additive space-time white noise

Georgios T. Kossioris, Georgios E. Zouraris (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We consider an initial and Dirichlet boundary value problem for a fourth-order linear stochastic parabolic equation, in one space dimension, forced by an additive space-time white noise. Discretizing the space-time white noise a modelling error is introduced and a regularized fourth-order linear stochastic parabolic problem is obtained. Fully-discrete approximations to the solution of the regularized problem are constructed by using, for discretization in space, a Galerkin finite element method...

Homogenization of locally stationary diffusions with possibly degenerate diffusion matrix

Rémi Rhodes (2009)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

This paper deals with homogenization of second order divergence form parabolic operators with locally stationary coefficients. Roughly speaking, locally stationary coefficients have two evolution scales: both an almost constant microscopic one and a smoothly varying macroscopic one. The homogenization procedure aims to give a macroscopic approximation that takes into account the microscopic heterogeneities. This paper follows [Probab. Theory Related Fields (2009)] and improves this latter work by...

Infinite system of Brownian balls with interaction: the non-reversible case

Myriam Fradon, Sylvie Rœlly (2007)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We consider an infinite system of hard balls in d undergoing Brownian motions and submitted to a smooth pair potential. It is modelized by an infinite-dimensional stochastic differential equation with an infinite-dimensional local time term. Existence and uniqueness of a strong solution is proven for such an equation with fixed deterministic initial condition. We also show that Gibbs measures are reversible measures.

Initial measures for the stochastic heat equation

Daniel Conus, Mathew Joseph, Davar Khoshnevisan, Shang-Yuan Shiu (2014)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

We consider a family of nonlinear stochastic heat equations of the form t u = u + σ ( u ) W ˙ , where W ˙ denotes space–time white noise, the generator of a symmetric Lévy process on 𝐑 , and σ 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 f = c f ' ' for some c g t ; 0 , we prove that if u 0 is a finite measure of compact support, then the solution is...

Intermittency properties in a hyperbolic Anderson problem

Robert C. Dalang, Carl Mueller (2009)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

We study the asymptotics of the even moments of solutions to a stochastic wave equation in spatial dimension 3 with linear multiplicative spatially homogeneous gaussian noise that is white in time. Our main theorem states that these moments grow more quickly than one might expect. This phenomenon is well known for parabolic stochastic partial differential equations, under the name of intermittency. Our results seem to be the first example of this phenomenon for hyperbolic equations. For comparison,...
