Strong solutions for stochastic partial differential equations of gradient type (Q1760161)

The author considers the solution of an SPDE (stochastic partial differential equation) with drift defined by the subgradient of a quasi-convex function, and with sufficient regular noise. Existence and uniqueness of analytically strong solutions for this equation are shown. The key to achieving this result is to use a weighted Galerkin approximation defined by the quasi-function which defines the SPDE. It appears that this approach applies to the broad class of SPDE which describe porous media, generalized reaction-diffusion and degenerated \(p\)-Laplace equations.
