We establish the existence and uniqueness of solutions to an abstract nonlinear equation driven by a multiplicative noise of Lévy type, which covers many hydrodynamical models including 2D Navier-Stokes equations, 2D MHD equations, the 2D Magnetic Bernard problem, and several Shell models of turbulence. In the existing literature on this topic, besides the classical Lipschitz and one sided linear growth conditions, other assumptions, which might be untypical, are also required on the coefficients of the stochastic perturbations. This paper is to get rid of these untypical assumptions. Our assumption on the coefficients of stochastic perturbations is new even for the Wiener cases, and in some sense, is shown to be quite sharp. A new cutting-off argument and energy estimation procedure play an important role in establishing the existence and uniqueness under this assumption.

We describe sufficient conditions on the reaction terms and multiplicative noise terms of a stochastic reaction-diffusion equation that guarantee that the solutions never explode. Both the reaction term and multiplicative noise terms are allowed to grow superlinearly.
In this article we consider multiplicative operator-valued white noise functionals related to a stochastic flow. A generalization of the Krylov-Veretennikov expansion is presented. An analog of such expansion for the Arratia flow is derived.
We prove pathwise uniqueness and strong existence of solutions for stochastic reaction-diffusion systems with locally Lipschitz continuous reaction term of polynomial growth and Hölder continuous multiplicative noise. Under additional assumptions on the coefficients, we also prove positivity of the solutions.
We proved that there exists a unique invariant measure for solutions of stochastic conservation laws with Dirichlet boundary condition driven by multiplicative noise. Moreover, a polynomial mixing property is established. This is done in the setting of kinetic solutions taking values in an L^1-weighted space.
In this article we establish strong convergence rates on the whole probability space for explicit full-discrete approximations of stochastic Burgers equations with multiplicative trace-class noise. The key step in our proof is to establish uniform exponential moment estimates for the numerical approximations.
Semilinear stochastic evolution equations with multiplicative Poisson noise and monotone nonlinear drift are considered. We do not impose coercivity conditions on coefficients. A novel method of proof for establishing existence and uniqueness of the mild solution is proposed. Examples on stochastic partial differential equations and stochastic delay differential equations are provided to demonstrate the theory developed.
A stochastic affine evolution equation with bilinear noise term is studied where the driving process is a real-valued fractional Brownian motion. Stochastic integration is understood in the Skorokhod sense. Existence and uniqueness of weak solution is proved and some results on the large time dynamics are obtained
This work exhibits a novel phase transition for the classical stochastic block model (SBM). In addition we study the SBM in the corresponding near-critical regime, and find the scaling limit for the component sizes. The two-parameter stochastic process arising in the scaling limit, an analogue of the standard Aldous' multiplicative coalescent, is interesting in its own right. We name it the (standard) Interacting Multiplicative Coalescent. To the best of our knowledge, this object has not yet appeared in the literature.
In this paper, we established a quadratic transportation cost inequality for solutions of stochastic reaction diffusion equations driven by multiplicative space-time white noise based on a new inequality we proved for the moments (under the uniform norm) of the stochastic convolution with respect to space-time white noise, which is of independent interest. The solutions of such stochastic partial differential equations are typically not semimartingales on the state space.
We show that the solutions to the damped stochastic wave equation converge pathwise to the solution of a stochastic heat equation. This is called the Smoluchowski-Kramers approximation. Cerrai and Freidlin have previously demonstrated that this result holds in the cases where the system is exposed to additive noise in any spatial dimension or when the system is exposed to multiplicative noise and the spatial dimension is one. The current paper proves that the Smoluchowski-Kramers approximation is valid in any spatial dimension when the system is exposed to multiplicative noise.
In this paper we prove the existence and uniqueness of maximal strong (in PDE sense) solution to several stochastic hydrodynamical systems on unbounded and bounded domains of $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n=2,3$. This maximal solution turns out to be a global one in the case of 2D stochastic hydrodynamical systems. Our framework is general in the sense that it allows us to solve the Navier-Stokes equations, MHD equations, Magnetic Bénard problems, Boussinesq model of the Bénard convection, Shell models of turbulence and the Leray-$α$ model with jump type perturbation. Our goal is achieved by proving genera…
In this paper, we establish a moderate deviation principle for two-dimensional stochastic Navier-Stokes equations driven by multiplicative $L\acute{e}vy$ noises. The weak convergence method introduced by Budhiraja, Dupuis and Ganguly in arXiv:1401.73v1 plays a key role.
Here is investigated the bilinear optimal control problem of quantum mechanical systems with final observation governed by a stochastic nonlinear Schrödinger equation perturbed by a linear multiplicative Wiener process. The existence of an open loop optimal control and first order Lagrange optimality conditions are derived, via Skorohod's representation theorem, Ekeland's variational principle and the existence for the linearized dual backward stochastic equation. Moreover, our approach in particular applies to the deterministic case.
One proves here the backward uniqueness of solutions to stochastic semilinear parabolic equations and also for the tamed Navier-Stokes equations driven by linearly multiplicative Gaussian noises. Applications to approximate controllability of nonlinear stochastic parabolic equations with initial controllers are given. The method of proof relies on the logarithmic convexity property known to hold for solutions to linear evolution equations in Hilbert spaces with self-adjoint principal part.
The Freidlin-Wentzell large deviation principle is established for the distributions of stochastic evolution equations with general monotone drift and small multiplicative noise. As examples, the main results are applied to derive the large deviation principle for different types of SPDE such as stochastic reaction-diffusion equations, stochastic porous media equations and fast diffusion equations, and the stochastic p-Laplace equation in Hilbert space. The weak convergence approach is employed in the proof to establish the Laplace principle, which is equivalent to the large deviation principl…
This paper concerns the convergence of an iterative scheme for 2D stochastic primitive equations on a bounded domain. The stochastic system is split into two equations: a deterministic 2D primitive equations with random initial value and a linear stochastic parabolic equation, which are both simpler for numerical computations. An estimate of approximation error is given, which implies that the strong speed rate of the convergence in probability is almost $\frac{1}{2}$.
The characterization of the covariance function of the solution process to a stochastic partial differential equation is considered in the parabolic case with multiplicative Lévy noise of affine type. For the second moment of the mild solution, a well-posed deterministic space-time variational problem posed on projective and injective tensor product spaces is derived, which subsequently leads to a deterministic equation for the covariance function.
We show that for $γ<\sqrt{4/3}$, it is possible to define the Levy area of a planar Brownian motion with the Liouville measure of intermittency parameter $γ$ as the underlying area measure. We also consider the case of smoother curves, and study some properties of the integration map thus defined.
In this paper we study first exit times from a bounded domain of a gradient dynamical system $\dot Y_t=-\nabla U(Y_t)$ perturbed by a small multiplicative Lévy noise with heavy tails. A special attention is paid to the way the multiplicative noise is introduced. In particular we determine the asymptotics of the first exit time of solutions of Itô, Stratonovich and Marcus canonical SDEs.
The main goal of this article is to study the effect of small, highly nonlinear, unbounded drifts (small time large deviation principle (LDP) based on exponential equivalence arguments) for a class of stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) with fully monotone coefficients driven by multiplicative Gaussian noise. The small time LDP obtained in this paper is applicable for various quasi-linear and semilinear SPDEs such as porous medium equations, Cahn-Hilliard equation, 2D Navier-Stokes equations, convection-diffusion equation, 2D liquid crystal model, power law fluids, Ladyzhenskaya …
We study a quite general class of stochastic dispersive equations with linear multiplicative noise, including especially the Schrödinger and Airy equations. The pathwise Strichartz and local smoothing estimates are derived here in both the conservative and nonconservative case. In particular, we obtain the P-integrability of constants in these estimates, where P is the underlying probability measure. Several applications are given to nonlinear problems, including local well-posedness of stochastic nonlinear Schrödinger equations with variable coefficients and lower order perturbations, integra…
We consider the Navier-Stokes equations in $\mathbb R^d$ ($d=2,3$) with a stochastic forcing term which is white noise in time and coloured in space; the spatial covariance of the noise is not too regular, so Itô calculus cannot be applied in the space of finite energy vector fields. We prove existence of weak solutions for $d=2,3$ and pathwise uniqueness for $d=2$.
Semilinear stochastic evolution equations with Lévy noise and monotone nonlinear drift are considered. The existence and uniqueness of the mild solutions in $L^p$ for these equations is proved and a sufficient condition for exponential asymptotic stability of the solutions is derived. The main tool in our study is an Itô type inequality for the $p$th power of stochastic convolution integrals in Hilbert spaces.
The two dimensional stochastic Euler equations (EE) perturbed by a linear multiplicative noise of Itô type on the bounded domain $\mathcal{O}$ have been considered in this work. Our first aim is to prove the existence of \textsl{global weak (analytic) solutions} for stochastic EE when the divergence free initial data $\boldsymbol{u}^*\in\mathbb{H}^1(\mathcal{O})$, and the external forcing $\boldsymbol{f}\in\mathrm{L}^2_{\mathrm{loc}}(\mathbb{R};\mathbb{H}^1(\mathcal{O}))$. In order to prove the existence of weak solutions, a vanishing viscosity technique has been adopted. In addition, if $\mat…
We prove existence, uniqueness and Lipschitz dependence on the initial datum for mild solutions of stochastic partial differential equations with Lipschitz coefficients driven by Wiener and Poisson noise. Under additional assumptions, we prove Gateaux and Frechet differentiability of solutions with respect to the initial datum. As an application, we obtain gradient estimates for the resolvent associated to the mild solution. Finally, we prove the strong Feller property of the associated semigroup.
In the present paper we study the convergence of the solution of the two dimensional (2-D) stochastic Leray-$α$ model to the solution of the 2-D stochastic Navier-Stokes equations. We are mainly interested in the rate of convergence, as $α$ tends to 0, of the error function which is the difference between the two solutions in an appropriate topology. We show that when properly localized the error function converges in mean square as $α\to 0$ and the convergence is of order $O(α)$. We also prove that the error converges in probability to zero with order at most $O(α)$.
We consider a stochastic differential equation of the form \[dX_t=θa(t,X_t)\,dt+σ_1(t,X_t)σ_2(t,Y_t)\,dW_t\] with multiplicative stochastic volatility, where $Y$ is some adapted stochastic process. We prove existence--uniqueness results for weak and strong solutions of this equation under various conditions on the process $Y$ and the coefficients $a$, $σ_1$, and $σ_2$. Also, we study the strong consistency of the maximum likelihood estimator for the unknown parameter $θ$. We suppose that $Y$ is in turn a solution of some diffusion SDE. Several examples of the main equation and of the process $…
This paper studies the stochastic heat equation with multiplicative noises of the form uW, where W is a mean zero Gaussian noise and the differential element uW is interpreted both in the sense of Skorohod and Stratonovich. The existence and uniqueness of the solution are studied for noises with general time and spatial covariance structure. Feynman-Kac formulas for the solutions and for the moments of the solutions are obtained under general and different conditions. These formulas are applied to obtain the Hölder continuity of the solutions. They are also applied to obtain the intermittency …
Semilinear stochastic evolution equations with multiplicative Lévy noise and monotone nonlinear drift are considered. Unlike other similar works, we do not impose coercivity conditions on coefficients. We establish the continuous dependence of the mild solution with respect to initial conditions and also on coefficients which as far as we know, has not been proved before. As corollaries of the continuity result, we derive sufficient conditions for asymptotic stability of the solutions, we show that Yosida approximations converge to the solution and we prove that solutions have Markov property.…
We study the influence of a multiplicative Gaussian noise, white in time and correlated in space, on the blow-up phenomenon in the supercritical nonlinear Schrodinger equation. We prove that any sufficiently regular and localized deterministic initial data gives rise to a solution which blows up in arbitrarily small time with a positive probability.
The flow of nematic liquid crystals can be described by a highly nonlinear stochastic hydrodynamical model, thus is often influenced by random fluctuations, such as uncertainty in specifying initial conditions and boundary conditions. In this article, we consider the $2$-D stochastic nematic liquid crystals with the velocity field perturbed by affine-linear multiplicative white noise, with random initial data and random boundary conditions. Our main objective is to establish the global well-posedness of the stochastic equations under certain sufficient Malliavin regularity of the initial condi…
We consider a linear stochastic differential equation with stochastic drift and multiplicative noise. We study the problem of approximating its solution with the process that solves the equation where the possibly stochastic drift is replaced by a deterministic function. To do this, we use a combination of deterministic Pontryagin's maximum principle approach and direct methods of calculus of variations. We find necessary and sufficient conditions for a function $u \in L^1(0,T)$ to be a minimizer of a certain cost functional. To overcome the problem of the existence of such minimizer, we also …
We investigate the problem of the rate of convergence to equilibrium for ergodic stochastic differential equations driven by fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter $H\in (1/3,1)$ and multiplicative noise component $σ$. When $σ$ is constant and for every $H\in (0,1)$, it was proved in [19] that, under some mean-reverting assumptions, such a process converges to its equilibrium at a rate of order $t^{-α}$ where $α\in (0,1)$ (depending on $H$). In [11], this result has been extended to the multiplicative case when $H\textgreater{}1/2$. In this paper, we obtain these types of results in t…
We consider the modified Surface Quasi-Geostrophic (mSQG) equation on the 2D torus $\mathbb{T}^2$, perturbed by multiplicative transport noise. The equation admits the white noise measure on $\mathbb{T}^2$ as the invariant measure. We first prove the existence of white noise solutions to the stochastic equation via the method of point vortex approximation, then, under a suitable scaling limit of the noise, we show that the solutions converge weakly to the unique stationary solution of the dissipative mSQG equation driven by space-time white noise. The weak uniqueness of the latter equation is …
We consider the stochastic wave equation with multiplicative noise, which is fractional in time with index $H>1/2$, and has a homogeneous spatial covariance structure given by the Riesz kernel of order $α$. The solution is interpreted using the Skorohod integral. We show that the sufficient condition for the existence of the solution is $α>d-2$, which coincides with the condition obtained in Dalang (1999), when the noise is white in time. Under this condition, we obtain estimates for the $p$-th moments of the solution, we deduce its Hölder continuity, and we show that the solution is Malliavin…
We study the large deviations principle (LDP) for stationary solutions of a class of stochastic differential equations (SDE) in infinite time intervals by the weak convergence approach, and then establish the LDP for the invariant measures of the SDE by the contraction principle. We further point out the equivalence of the rate function of the LDP for invariant measures induced by the LDP for stationary solutions and the rate function defined by quasi-potential. This fact gives another view of the quasi-potential introduced by Freidlin and Wentzell.
A change of variables is introduced to reduce certain nonlinear stochastic evolution equations with multiplicative noise to the corresponding deterministic equation. The result is then used to investigate a stochastic porous medium equation.
Motivated by studying stochastic systems with non-Gaussian Lévy noise, spectral properties for a type of linear cocycles are considered. These linear cocycles have countable jump discontinuities in time. A multiplicative ergodic theorem is proved for such linear cocycles. Then, the result is illustrated for two linear stochastic systems with general Lévy motions.
We consider a class of semilinear Volterra type stochastic evolution equation driven by multiplicative Gaussian noise. The memory kernel, not necessarily analytic, is such that the deterministic linear equation exhibits a parabolic character. Under appropriate Lipschitz-type and linear growth assumptions on the nonlinear terms we show that the unique mild solution is mean-$p$ Hölder continuous with values in an appropriate Sobolev space depending on the kernel and the data. In particular, we obtain pathwise space-time (Sobolev-Hölder) regularity of the solution together with a maximal type bou…
In this paper, we develop low regularity theory for 3D Burgers equation perturbed by a linear multiplicative stochastic force. This method is new and essentially different from the deterministic partial differential equations(PDEs). Our results and method can be widely applied to other stochastic hydrodynamic equations and the deterministic PDEs. As a further study, we establish a random version of maximum principle for random 3D Burgers equations, which will be an important tool for the study of 3D stochastic Burgers equations. As we know establishing moment estimates for highly nonlinear sto…
We consider a stochastic process with long-range dependence perturbed by multiplicative noise. The marginal distributions of both the original process and the noise have regularly-varying tails, with tail indices $α,α'>0$, respectively. The original process is taken as the regularly-varying Karlin model, a recently investigated model that has long-range dependence characterized by a memory parameter $β\in(0,1)$. We establish limit theorems for the extremes of the model, and reveal a phase transition. In terms of the limit there are three different regimes: signal-dominance regime $α<α'β$, nois…
We consider the stochastic heat equation $$\frac{\partial Y_t(x)}{\partial t} = \frac{1}{2} Δ_x Y_t(x) + Y_{t-}(x)^β \dot{L}^α$$ with $t \ge 0$, $x \in \mathbb{R}$ and $L^α$ being an $α$-stable white noise without negative jumps. Under appropriate non-negative initial conditions, when $α\in (1,2)$ and $β\in (\frac{1}α, 1)$ we prove that weak uniqueness holds for the above using the approximating duality approach developed by Mytnik (Ann. Probab. (1998) 26 968-984).
We study the convergence of a Douglas-Rachford type splitting algorithm for the infinite dimensional stochastic differential equation $$dX+A(t)(X)dt=X\,dW\mbox{ in }(0,T);\ X(0)=x,$$ where $A(t):V\to V'$ is a nonlinear, monotone, coercive and demicontinuous operator with sublinear growth and $V$ is a real Hilbert space with the dual $V'$. $V$ is densely and continuously embedded in the Hilbert space $H$ and $W$ is an $H$-valued Wiener process. The general case of a maximal monotone operators $A(t):H\to H$ is also investigated.
We prove finite speed of propagation for the multiplicative stochastic wave equation in two and three dimensions which leads us to a global space-time well-posedness result for the cubic nonlinear equation in the analogue of the energy space.
In this article, we study Stochastic mass critical nonlinear Schrödinger equations with a multiplicative noise in 3D with a slight time decay ($\langle t \rangle^{-ε}$), and prove associated space-time bound and scattering behavior.
In this paper we prove the local existence and uniqueness of solutions for a class of stochastic fractional partial differential equations driven by multiplicative noise. We also establish that for this class of equations adding linear multiplicative noise provides a regularizing effect: the solutions will not blow up with high probability if the initial data is sufficiently small, or if the noise coefficient is sufficiently large. As applications our main results are applied to various types of SPDE such as stochastic reaction-diffusion equations, stochastic fractional Burgers equation, stoch…
In this paper we focus on the stochastic Euler-Poincaré equations with pseudo-differential/multiplicative noise. We first establish two new cancellation properties on pseudo-differential operators, which play a key role in energy estimate. Then, we obtain results on local solution, blow-up criterion and global existence. The interplay between stability on exiting times and continuous dependence of solution on initial data are also studied for the multiplicative noise case.
