Well-posedness for a class of doubly nonlinear stochastic PDEs of divergence type (Q529132)

The author considers a boundary value problem with homogeneous Dirichlet conditions associated to a doubly nonlinear parabolic stochastic partial differential equation on a smooth bounded domain driven by a cylindrical Wiener process. The model gives a unifying analysis to several cases of parabolic SPDEs. The author proves the existence of global solutions as well as a continuous dependence result using variational techniques. More precisely, the paper contains four results. First, it is shown that the equation admits global solutions in a suitable weak variational way in the case of additive noise. The second result is the very natural continuous dependence property with respect to the initial datum, the third is the existence result in the case of multiplicative noise and the last one states the continuous dependence property with respect to the initial datum in the case of multiplicative noise.
