Random dynamics of stochastic reaction-diffusion systems with additive noise (Q523086)

The author studies the dynamics of a system of three reaction-diffusion equations of Gray-Scott type driven by additive Itô noise, and in particular establishes the existence and regularity of a pullback random attractor. The main result of the paper is that, when the spatial dimension is less or equal to 2, for any choice of positive parameters, there exists a unique random attractor \({\mathcal A}(\omega)\) expressed as \[ {\mathcal A}(\omega)=\bigcap_{\tau \geq 0}\overline{ \bigcup_{t \geq \tau} \phi(t,\theta_{-t}\omega,K(\theta_{-t}\omega)) } \] where \(K(\omega)\) is an appropriate pullback absorbing set of the cocycle \(\phi\), determined by an priori estimate in the state space \(L^{2}(Q ;{\mathbb R}^{3})\). Here \(Q\) is the spatial domain and \(\theta\) is the shift operator. The result is conjectured to hold in spatial dimension 3, but this requires the establishment of a pullback asymptotic compactness result, which not straightforward.
