We consider a semigroup acting on real-valued functions defined in a Hilbert space H, arising as a transition semigroup of a given stochastic process in H. We find sufficient conditions for analyticity of the semigroup in the space, where μ is a gaussian measure in H, intrinsically related to the process. We show that the infinitesimal generator of the semigroup is associated with a bilinear closed coercive form in . A closability criterion for such forms is presented. Examples are also given....
We prove some smoothing properties for the transition semigroup associated to a nonlinear stochastic equation in a Hilbert space. The proof introduces some tools from the Malliavin calculus and is based on a integration by parts formula.
We are concerned with the optimal control of a nonlinear stochastic heat equation on a bounded real interval with Neumann boundary conditions. The specificity here is that both the control and the noise act on the boundary. We start by reformulating the state equation as an infinite dimensional stochastic evolution equation. The first main result of the paper is the proof of existence and uniqueness of a mild solution for the corresponding Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation. The
