The mild Ito formula proposed in Theorem 1 in [Da Prato, G., Jentzen, A., \& Röckner, M., A mild Ito formula for SPDEs, arXiv:1009.3526 (2012), To appear in the Trans.\ Amer.\ Math.\ Soc.] has turned out to be a useful instrument to study solutions and numerical approximations of stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) which are formulated as stochastic evolution equations (SEEs) on Hilbert spaces. In this article we generalize this mild Itô formula so that it is applicable to solutions and numerical approximations of SPDEs which are formulated as SEEs on UMD (unconditional martingale differences) Banach spaces. This generalization is especially useful for proving essentially sharp weak convergence rates for numerical approximations of SPDEs.
This paper is devoted to studying stochastic parabolic evolution equations with additive noise in Banach spaces of M-type 2. We construct both strict and mild solutions possessing very strong regularities. First, we consider the linear case. We prove existence and uniqueness of strict and mild solutions and show their maximal regularities. Second, we explore the semilinear case. Existence, uniqueness and regularity of mild and strict solutions are shown. Regular dependence of mild solutions on initial data is also investigated. Finally, some applications to stochastic partial differential equa…
This paper devotes to studying abstract stochastic evolution equations in M-type 2 Banach spaces. First, we handle nonlinear evolution equations with multiplicative noise. The existence and uniqueness of local and global mild solutions under linear growth and Lipschitz conditions on coefficients are presented. The regular dependence of solutions on initial data is also studied. Second, we investigate linear evolution equations with additive noise. The existence and uniqueness of strict and mild solutions and their regularity are shown. Finally, we explore semilinear evolution equations with ad…
We investigate mild solutions for stochastic evolution equations driven by a fractional Brownian motion (fBm) with Hurst parameter H in (1/3, 1/2] in infinite-dimensional Banach spaces. Using elements from rough paths theory we introduce an appropriate integral with respect to the fBm. This allows us to solve pathwise our stochastic evolution equation in a suitable function space.
The purpose of this paper is to study stochastic evolution inclusions of the form \begin{align*} η(t,z) N_Θ(dt \otimes z)\in dX(t)+\mathcal{A} X(t)dt, \end{align*} where $\mathcal{A}$ is a multi-valued operator acting on a separable Banach space and $N_Θ$ is the counting measure induced by a point process $Θ$. Firstly, we will set up the concepts of strong and mild solutions; then we will derive existence as well as uniqueness criteria for these kinds of solutions and give a representation formula for the solutions. The results will be formulated by means of nonlinear semigroup theory and exce…
In order to rigorously define maximum-a-posteriori estimators for nonparametric Bayesian inverse problems for general Banach space valued parameters, we derive and prove certain previously postulated but unproven bounds on small ball probabilities. This allows us to prove existence of MAP estimators in the Banach space setting under very mild assumptions on the loglikelihood. As a similar statement so far (as far as the author is aware) only existed in the Hilbert space setting, this closes an important gap in the literature.
We investigate the longtime behavior of stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) with differential operators that depend on time and the underlying probability space. In particular, we consider stochastic parabolic evolution problems in Banach spaces with additive noise and prove the existence of random exponential attractors. These are compact random sets of finite fractal dimension that contain the global random attractor and are attracting at an exponential rate. In order to apply the framework of random dynamical systems, we use the concept of pathwise mild solutions. This approac…
We present remarkably simple proofs of Burkholder-Davis-Gundy inequalities for stochastic integrals and maximal inequalities for stochastic convolutions in Banach spaces driven by Lévy-type processes. Exponential estimates for stochastic convolutions are obtained and two versions of Itô's formula in Banach spaces are also derived. Based on the obtained maximal inequality, the existence and uniqueness of mild solutions of stochastic quasi-geostrophic equation with Lévy noise is established.
In this paper, we establish the existence and uniqueness of both mild(/variational) solutions and weak (in the sense of PDE) solutions of coupled system of 2D stochastic Chemotaxis-Navier-Stokes equations. The mild/variational solution is obtained through a fixed point argument in a purposely constructed Banach space. To get the weak solution we first prove the existence of a martingale weak solution and then we show that the pathwise uniqueness holds for the martingale solution.
We consider a Backward Stochastic Differential Equation (BSDE for short) in a Markovian framework for the pair of processes $(Y,Z)$, with generator with quadratic growth with respect to $Z$. The forward equation is an evolution equation in an abstract Banach space. We prove an analogue of the Bismut-Elworty formula when the diffusion operator has a pseudo-inverse not necessarily bounded and when the generator has quadratic growth with respect to $Z$. In particular, our model covers the case of the heat equation in space dimension greater than or equal to 2. We apply these results to solve semi…
We use Yosida approximation to find an Itô formula for mild solutions $\left\{X^x(t), t\geq 0\right\}$ of SPDEs with Gaussian and non-Gaussian coloured noise, the non Gaussian noise being defined through compensated Poisson random measure associated to a Lévy process. The functions to which we apply such Itô formula are in $C^{1,2}([0,T]\times H)$, as in the case considered for SDEs in [9]. Using this Itô formula we prove exponential stability and exponential ultimate boundedness properties in mean square sense for mild solutions. We also compare such Itô formula to an Itô formula for mild sol…
We study path-dependent SDEs in Hilbert spaces. By using methods based on contractions in Banach spaces, we prove existence and uniqueness of mild solutions, continuity of mild solutions with respect to perturbations of all the data of the system, Gâteaux differentiability of generic order n of mild solutions with respect to the starting point, continuity of the Gâteaux derivatives with respect to all the data. The analysis is performed for generic spaces of paths that do not necessarily coincide with the space of continuous functions.
In this paper, we study properties of quadratic variations of càdlàg paths within the framework of the Itô--Föllmer calculus in Banach spaces. We prove a $C^1$-type transformation formula for quadratic variations. We also investigate relations between tensor and scalar quadratic variations.
We derive moment and tail estimates for Gaussian chaoses of arbitrary order with values in Banach spaces. We formulate a conjecture regarding two-sided estimates and show that it holds in a certain class of Banach spaces including L_q spaces. As a corollary we obtain two-sided bounds for moments of chaoses with values in L_q spaces based on exponential random variables.
We prove a modification to the classical maximal inequality for stochastic convolutions in 2-smooth Banach spaces using the factorization method. This permits to study semilinear stochastic partial differential equations with unbounded diffusion operators driven by cylindrical Brownian motion via the mild solution approach. In the case of finite dimensional driving noise, provided sufficient regularity on the coefficients, we establish existence and uniqueness of strong solutions.
We study both strict and mild solutions to parabolic evolution equations of the form $dX+AXdt=F(t)dt+G(t)dW(t)$ in Banach spaces. First, we explore the deterministic case. The maximal regularity of solutions has been shown. Second, we investigate the stochastic case. We prove existence of strict solutions and show their space-time regularity. Finally, we apply our abstract results to a stochastic heat equation.
The novelty of our paper is to establish results on asymptotic stability of mild solutions in $p$th moment to Riemann-Liouville fractional stochastic neutral differential equations (for short Riemann-Liouville FSNDEs) of order $α\in (\frac{1}{2},1)$ using a Banach's contraction mapping principle. The core point of this paper is to derive the mild solution of FSNDEs involving Riemann-Liouville fractional time-derivative by applying the stochastic version of variation of constants formula. The results are obtained with the help of the theory of fractional differential equations, some properties …
We solve in mild sense Hamilton Jacobi Bellman equations, both in an infinite dimensional Hilbert space and in a Banach space, with lipschitz Hamiltonian and lipschitz continuous final condition, and asking only a weak regularizing property on the transition semigroup of the corresponding state equation. The results are applied to solve stochastic optimal control problems; the models we can treat include a controlled stochastic heat equation in space dimension one and with control and noise on a subdomain.
We obtain estimates on the first-order Malliavin derivative of mild solutions, evaluated at fixed points in time and space, to a class of parabolic dissipative stochastic PDEs on bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^d$. In particular, such equations are driven by multiplicative Wiener noise and the nonlinear drift term is the superposition operator associated to a locally Lipschitz continuous function satisfying suitable polynomial growth bounds. The main arguments rely on the well-posedness theory in the mild sense for stochastic evolution equations in Banach spaces, monotonicity, and a comparison p…
Weak convergence rates for numerical approximations of stochastic partial differential equations with nonlinear diffusion coefficients in UMD Banach spaces
We establish well-posedness in the mild sense for a class of stochastic semilinear evolution equations on $L_p$ spaces, driven by multiplicative Wiener noise, with a drift term given by an evaluation operator that is assumed to be quasi-monotone and polynomially growing, but not necessarily continuous. In particular, we consider a notion of mild solution ensuring that the evaluation operator applied to the solution is still function-valued, but satisfies only minimal integrability conditions. The proofs rely on stochastic calculus in Banach spaces, monotonicity and convexity techniques, and we…
In this paper, we study integral functionals defined on spaces of functions with values on general (non-separable) Banach spaces. We introduce a new class of integrands and multifunctions for which we obtain measurable selection results. Then, we provide an interchange formula between integration and infimum, which enables us to get explicit formulas for the conjugate and Clarke subdifferential of integral functionals. Applications to expected functionals from stochastic programming, optimality conditions for a calculus of variation problem and sweeping processes are given.
Motivated by applications to SPDEs we extend the Itô formula for the square of the norm of a semimartingale $y(t)$ from Gyöngy and Krylov (Stochastics 6(3):153-173, 1982) to the case \begin{equation*} \sum_{i=1}^m \int_{(0,t]} v_i^{\ast}(s)\,dA(s) + h(t)=:y(t)\in V \quad \text{$dA\times \mathbb{P}$-a.e.}, \end{equation*} where $A$ is an increasing right-continuous adapted process, $v_i^{\ast}$ is a progressively measurable process with values in $V_i^{\ast}$, the dual of a Banach space $V_i$, $h$ is a cadlag martingale with values in a Hilbert space $H$, identified with its dual $H^{\ast}$, an…
