Random attractors of reaction-diffusion equations with multiplicative noise in \(L^p\) (Q846442)

The paper considers the stochastic reaction-diffusion equation \[ du- (\Delta u- f(u))\,dt = bu\, dW(t), \] in \(L^p(D)\) (\(p\geq 2\)), with \(D\subset \mathbb R^n\) an open bounded set with regular boundary. Here, \(b>0\), \(f\) is a polynomial of odd degree and positive leading coefficient and \(W(t)\) is a Wiener process. By employing an ergodic transformation, the equation is transformed into a deterministic partial differential equation, for which a Galerkin approximation is used to prove the existence and uniqueness of the solution. This solution defines a random dynamical system on \(L^p\), \(p\geq 2\). It is also proven the existence of a random attractor in \(L^p\), \(p\geq 2\), for this random dynamical system.
