Abstract: In this paper, we extend Walsh's stochastic integral with respect to a Gaussian noise, white in time and with some homogeneous spatial correlation, in order to be able to integrate some random measure-valued processes. This extension turns out to be equivalent to Dalang's one. Then we study existence and regularity of the density of the probability law for the real-valued mild solution to a general second order stochastic partial differential equation driven by such a noise. For this, we apply the techniques of the Malliavin calculus. Our results apply to the case of the stochastic heat equation in any space dimension and the stochastic wave equation in space dimension d=1,2,3. Moreover, for these particular examples, known results in the literature have been improved.


The authors extended Walsh's stochastic integral with respect to a space-time Gaussian noise, in order to integrate some random measure-valued processes. This extension turns out to be equivalent to Dalang's one, under mild conditions on the integrand. They studied general second-order stochastic partial differential equations driven by such noise. Taking the semigroup formulation of the equation, they show the existence of the solution, and using the techniques of the Malliavin calculus they obtain regularity results on the density of the probability law of the solution. In particular, the stochastic heat equation in any space dimension and the stochastic wave equation in space dimension \(d= 1,2,3\) are presented as examples.
