We consider a family of nonlinear stochastic heat equations of the form ∂ t u = ℒ u + σ ( u ) W ˙ , where W ˙ denotes space–time white noise, ℒ 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 ℒ 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 with probability one a bounded function for all times t g t ; 0 .

AB - We consider a family of nonlinear stochastic heat equations of the form $\partial _{t}u=\mathcal {L}u+\sigma (u)\dot{W}$, where $\dot{W}$ denotes space–time white noise, $\mathcal {L}$ the generator of a symmetric Lévy process on $\mathbf {R} $, and $\sigma $ 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 $\mathcal {L}f=cf^{\prime \prime }$ for some $c&gt;0$, we prove that if $u_{0}$ is a finite measure of compact support, then the solution is with probability one a bounded function for all times $t&gt;0$.
