Random attractors for the stochastic FitzHugh-Nagumo system on unbounded domains (Q923940)

The paper is concerned with the stochastic FitzHugh-Nagumo system defined on \(\mathbb{R}^n\) \[ \begin{cases} du+(\lambda u-\Delta u+\alpha v)dt=(f(x,u)+g)dt+\phi_1dw_1,\,\,\,x\in \mathbb{R}^n,\,\,\,t>0,\\ dv+(\delta v-\beta u)dt=hdt+\phi_2dw_2,\,\,\,x\in \mathbb{R}^n,\,\,\,t>0,\end{cases}.\leqno(S) \] where \(\lambda,\,\alpha,\,\delta\) and \(\beta\) are positive constants, \(g\in L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)\), \(h\in H^1(\mathbb{R}^n)\), \(\phi_1\in H^2(\mathbb{R}^n)\cap W^{2,p}(\mathbb{R}^n)\) for some \(p\geq 2\), \(\phi_2\in H^1(\mathbb{R}^n)\), \(f\) is a nonlinear function that satisfies some dissipative conditions, \(w_1\) and \(w_2\) are independent two-sided real-valued Wiener processes on a probability space. The author defines a continuous random dynamical system for system \((S)\) with the initial conditions \(u(x,0)=u_0(x),\,\,v(x,0)=v_0(x)\), for \(x\in \mathbb{R}^n\). Then he derives uniform estimates on the solutions of \((S)\) when \(t\to\infty\), that are necessary to prove the existence of bounded absorbing sets and the asymptotic compactness of the random dynamical system. Finally the author proves the existence of a pullback random attractor for the random dynamical system associated to \((S)\).
