Abstract: In this paper, we develop a new general approach to the existence and uniqueness theory of infinite dimensional stochastic equations of the form dX+A(t)Xdt = XdW in (0;T)xH, where A(t) is a nonlinear monotone and demicontinuous operator from V to V', coercive and with polynomial growth. Here, V is a reflexive Banach space continuously and densely embedded in a Hilbert space H of (generalized) functions on a domain OsubsetmathbbRd and V' is the dual of V in the duality induced by H as pivot space. Furthermore, W is a Wiener process in H. The new approach is based on an operatorial reformulation of the stochastic equation which is quite robust under perturbation of A(t). This leads to new existence and uniqueness results of a larger class of equations with linear multiplicative noise than the one treatable by the known approaches. In addition, we obtain regularity results for the solutions with respect to both the time and spatial variable which are sharper than the classical ones. New applications include stochastic partial differential equations, as e.g. stochastic transport equations.


The aim of the paper is to study the existence and uniqueness of the solution to a nonlinear monotone stochastic differential equation \[ dX(t)+ A(t)X(t)dt = X(t)dW(t) \] with linear multiplicative noise in a real separable Hilbert space. The approach is to introduce the rescaling transform \(X(t)= e^{W(t)}y(t)\) and to reduce the above equation to the random differential equation \[ \frac{dy}{dt}(t) + e^{-W(t)}A(t)(e^{W(t)}y(t)) +\mu y(t)=0,\qquad t\in [0,T], \] which is treated as an operational equation in a convenient Hilbert space and can be rewritten as a monotone-type random equation in an appropriate space of infinite-dimensional stochastic processes on \([0,T]\). When the nonlinear operator is the subgradient of a convex function, the problem reduces to a convex optimization problem. One of the advantages of the approach adopted in this paper is that it gives sharp pointwise estimates and new pathwise regularity for the solutions.
