Abstract: The goal of this review article is to provide a survey about the foundations of semilinear stochastic partial differential equations. In particular, we provide a detailed study of the concepts of strong, weak and mild solutions, establish their connections, and review a standard existence- and uniqueness result. The proof of the existence result is based on a slightly extended version of the Banach fixed point theorem.


The aim of this paper is to provide an interesting brief survey of semilinear stochastic PDEs. The author first reviews some elementary concepts from functional analysis and the theory of strongly continuous semigroups of linear operators. Then he recalls the required foundations of stochastic processes in infinite dimensions, especially the \(Q\)-Wiener process and stochastic integrals on separable Hilbert spaces. A large part of the paper is devoted to the study of solution concepts to SPDEs: strong, mild and weak, and the relations between these types of solutions. Using the Banach fixed point theorem, the author proves an existence and uniqueness result in the case that the coefficients are Lipschitz continuous and satisfy a linear growth condition. At last, the author deals with invariant manifolds for time-homogeneous equations.
