Fluctuations of parabolic equations with large random potentials (Q2340313): Difference between revisions

In this paper, a fluctuation analysis of a type of parabolic equations with large, highly oscillatory, random potentials around the homogenization limit is presented. The main involved tools are the Feynman-Kac representation, the Kipnis-Varadhan's method and a quantitative martingale central limit theorem. Based on these, the asymptotic distribution of the rescaled error between heterogeneous and homogenized solutions under different assumptions in dimension \(d\geq 3\) is derived. It is shown that the results depend highly on whether a stationary corrector exists. For the critical dimension \(d=4\), where the stationary corrector does not exist, a decomposition of the error for equations with constant initial conditions is presented. The paper also provides the proof of a quantitative martingale central limit theorem.
