We analyze the nonlinear stochastic heat equation driven by heavy-tailed noise in free space and arbitrary dimension. The existence of a solution is proved even if the noise only has moments up to an order strictly smaller than its Blumenthal-Getoor index. In particular, this includes all stable noises with index $\alpha<1+2/d$. Although we cannot show uniqueness, the constructed solution is natural in the sense that it is the limit of the solutions to approximative equations obtained by truncating the big jumps of the noise or by restricting its support to a compact set in space. Under growth conditions on the nonlinear term we can further derive moment estimates of the solution, uniformly in space. Finally, the techniques are shown to apply to Volterra equations with kernels bounded by generalized Gaussian densities. This includes, for instance, a large class of uniformly parabolic stochastic PDEs.Comment: in press, Stochastic Processes and their Applications, 201
We investigate nonlinear stochastic Volterra equations in space and time that are driven by Lévy bases. Under a Lipschitz condition on the nonlinear term, we give existence and uniqueness criteria in weighted function spaces that depend on integrability properties of the kernel and the characteristics of the Lévy basis. Particular attention is devoted to equations with stationary solutions, or more generally, to equations with infinite memory, that is, where the time domain of integration starts at minus infinity. Here, in contrast to the case where time is positive, the usual integrability conditions on the kernel are no longer sufficient for the existence and uniqueness of solutions, but we have to impose additional size conditions on the kernel and the Lévy characteristics. Furthermore, once the existence of a solution is guaranteed, we analyse its asymptotic stability, that is, whether its moments remain bounded when time goes to infinity. Stability is proved whenever kernel and characteristics are small enough, or the nonlinearity of the equation exhibits a fractional growth of order strictly smaller than one. The results are applied to the stochastic heat equation for illustration.
We derive explicit integrability conditions for stochastic integrals taken over time and space driven by a random measure. Our main tool is a canonical decomposition of a random measure which extends the results from the purely temporal case. We show that the characteristics of this decomposition can be chosen as predictable strict random measures, and we compute the characteristics of the stochastic integral process. We apply our conditions to a variety of examples, in particular to ambit processes, which represent a rich model class.
We consider sample path properties of the solution to the stochastic heat equation, in R d or bounded domains of R d , driven by a Lévy space-time white noise. When viewed as a stochastic process in time with values in an infinite-dimensional space, the solution is shown to have a càdlàg modification in fractional Sobolev spaces of index less than − d 2 . Concerning the partial regularity of the solution in time or space when the other variable is fixed, we determine critical values for the Blumenthal-Getoor index of the Lévy noise such that noises with a smaller index entail continuous sample paths, while Lévy noises with a larger index entail sample paths that are unbounded on any non-empty open subset. Our results apply to additive as well as multiplicative Lévy noises, and to light-as well as heavy-tailed jumps.Let T > 0 and consider, on a stochastic basis (Ω, F, (F t ) t∈[0,T ] , P) satisfying the usual conditions, the stochastic heat equation driven by a Lévy space-time white noise on [0, T ] × D with Dirichlet boundary conditions:where (λ j ) j 1 are the eigenvalues of −∆ with vanishing Dirichlet boundary conditions, and (Φ j ) j 1 are the corresponding eigenfunctions forming a complete orthonormal basis of L 2 (D).In the special case whereL is a Gaussian noise, the existence, uniqueness and regularity of solutions to Equation (1.1) have been extensively studied in the literature, see e.g. [3,10,23,39] for the case of space-time white noise, [15,36,37] for noises that are white in time but colored in space, and [22] for noises that may exhibit temporal covariances as well. In all cases, the mild solution to (1.2) is jointly locally Hölder continuous in space and time, with exponents that depend on the covariance structure of the noise.By contrast, suppose thatL is a Lévy space-time white noise without Gaussian part, that is,where b ∈ R, J is an (F t ) t∈[0,T ] -Poisson random measure on [0, T ] × D × R with intensity dt dx ν(dz), andJ is the compensated version of J. Here ν is a Lévy measure, that is, ν({0}) = 0 and R z 2 ∧ 1 ν(dz) < +∞, and we assume that ν is not identically zero. The existence
