Averaging 2D stochastic wave equation

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We consider a 2D stochastic wave equation driven by a Gaussian noise, which is temporally white and spatially colored described by the Riesz kernel. Our first main result is the functional central limit theorem for the spatial average of the solution. And we also establish a quantitative central limit theorem for the marginal and the rate of convergence is described by the total-variation distance. A fundamental ingredient in our proofs is the pointwise Lp-estimate of Malliavin derivative, which is of independent interest.


The authors consider the following 2D stochastic wave equation \[ \frac{\partial^2u}{\partial t^2}=\triangle u+\sigma(u)\dot{W} \] with the boundary conditions \({u(0,x)=1}\) and \({\frac{\partial u}{\partial t}(0,x)=0}.\) Here \(\triangle\) is the Laplacian in the space variables, \(\dot{W}\) is a Gaussian centered noise with covariance \[ \mathbb{E}(\dot{W}(t,x)\dot{W}(s,y))=\delta_0(t-s)\|x-y\|^{-\beta} \] for some \({\beta\in(0,2)}\) and \({\sigma:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}}\) is a Lipschitz function with \({\sigma(1)\neq0}.\) The solution \(u(x,t)\) is viewed as functional over the homogeneous Gaussian random field \(W\) (where \({\dot{W}=\frac{\partial^3W}{\partial t\partial x_1\partial x_2}}\)). The main result asserts that the process \[ R^{\frac{\beta}{2}-2}\int\limits_{\|x\|\leq R}(u(t,x)-1)\,dx,\ \ t\in\mathbb{R}_+ \] converges in law to some centered Gaussian process as \({R\to\infty}.\) Also the rate of convergence is estimated using the total-variation distance. The proof is based on Stein's method of normal approximation and Malliavin's differential calculus.
