Finite speed of propagation for stochastic porous media equations (Q2870588)

For the stochastic porous medium equation NEWLINE\[NEWLINE dx=\Delta\bigl(|x|^m\mathrm{sgn}(x)\bigr)\,dt+\sum_{k=1}^Nf_kx\circ dz_t^{(k)} NEWLINE\]NEWLINE on a smooth bounded domain in \(\mathbb R^d\) with rough driving signal \(z^{(k)}\) (continuous and real-valued), \(C^\infty\)-diffusion coefficients \(f_k\) and \(m\in(1,\infty)\), estimates for the speed of propagation are established. In particular, the case where the \(z^{(k)}\) are fractional Brownian motions with arbitrary Hurst parameters is covered. For this case, the estimates are used to show that the corresponding random attractor does not have finite fractal dimension.
