Stochastic Modulation Equations on Unbounded Domains
We study the impact of small additive space-time white noise on nonlinear stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) on unbounded domains close to a bifurcation, where an infinite band of eigenvalues changes stability due to the unboundedness of the underlying domain. Thus we expect not only a slow motion in time, but also a slow spatial modulation of the dominant modes, and we rely on the approximation via modulation or amplitude equations, which acts as a replacement for the lack of random...
