Abstract: This paper is concerned with effects of noise on the solutions of partial differential equations. We first provide a sufficient condition to ensure the existence of a unique positive solution for a class of stochastic parabolic equations. Then, we prove that noise could induce singularities (finite time blow up of solutions). Finally, we show that a stochastic Allen-Cahn equation does not have finite time singularities and the unique solution exists globally.


The authors study the equation \[ du=(Au+f(u))\,dt+\sigma(u)\,dW_t,\;\;t>0, \;x\in D, \] together with the boundary conditions \[ u(x,t)=0, \;\;t>0, \;x\in\partial D \] and \[ u(x,0)=u_0(x), \;\;x\in D. \] Here, \(A\) denotes a symmetric, uniformly elliptic operator with smooth coefficients and \(W\) is a Wiener random field. The first result of the paper provides sufficient conditions under which the solutions remain positive. The second result proves that the solutions blow up in finite time. In the last section of the paper, the authors show that a stochastic Allen-Cahn equation with noise intensity \(\sigma(u)=u^{1+\beta}\), \(\beta>0\), has no finite time singularities and that the unique solution exists globally.
