On the chaotic character of the stochastic heat equation. II (Q365711): Difference between revisions

The authors study the effect of disorder on the intermittent behaviour of solutions to a nonlinear stochastic heat equation \(\partial_tu=(\varkappa/2)\Delta u+\sigma(u)\,\dot F\) on \(\mathbb R^d\), where \(\dot F\) is a centred Gaussian noise white in time and spatially-correlated with \(\mathrm{Cov}\,(\dot F_t(x),\dot F_s(y))=\delta_0(t-s)f(x-y)\) for some nice function \(f\), \(\varkappa>0\), \(\sigma\) a real Lipschitz continuous function and the initial condition \(u_0\) is a non-random, measurable function bounded from above and below by strictly positive constants. More precisely, the authors fix a time \(t>0\) and study boundedness and \(L^p\)-integrability of \(\sup_{x\in\mathbb R^d}|u(t,x)|\) and the lower and the upper bounds for \[ \limsup_{|x|\to\infty}\frac{\log |u_t(x)|}{(\log|x|)^\beta},\qquad\limsup_{|x|\to\infty}\frac{\log u_t(x)}{(\log|x|)^\beta} \] for suitable \(\beta\) with particular interest in independence or exactly characterized dependence of the bounds on the parameters \(\varkappa\), \(f\), \(\sigma\), \(u_0\), \(d\), \(t\).
