Invariant manifolds for stochastic wave equations

In this paper, we consider a class of stochastic wave equations with nonlinear multiplicative noise. We first show that these stochastic wave equations generate random dynamical systems (or stochastic flows) by transforming the stochastic wave equations to random wave equations through a stationary random homeomorphism. Then, we establish the existence of random invariant manifolds for the random wave equations. Due to the temperedness of the nonlinearity, we obtain only local invariant manifolds no matter how large the spectral gap is unlike the deterministic cases. Based on these random dynamical systems, we prove the existence of random invariant manifolds in a tempered neighborhood of an equilibrium. Finally, we show that the images of these invariant manifolds under the inverse stationary transformation give invariant manifolds for the stochastic wave equations.     

Systems of stochastic partial differential equations with reflection: Existence and uniqueness

In this paper, we establish the existence and uniqueness of solutions of systems of stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) with reflection in a convex domain. The lack of comparison theorems for systems of SPDEs makes things delicate.     

Dynamical systems on lattices with decaying interaction I: A functional analysis framework

We consider weakly coupled map lattices with a decaying interaction. That is, we consider systems which consist of a phase space at every site such that the dynamics at a site is little affected by the dynamics at far away sites.We develop a functional analysis framework which formulates quantitatively the decay of the interaction and is able to deal with lattices such that the sites are manifolds. This framework is very well suited to study systematically invariant objects. One obtains that the invariant objects are essentially local.We use this framework to prove a stable manifold theorem and show that the manifolds are as smooth as the maps and have decay properties (i.e. the derivatives of one of the coordinates of the manifold with respect to the coordinates at far away sites are small). Other applications of the framework are the study of the structural stability of maps with decay close to uncoupled possessing hyperbolic sets and the decay properties of the invariant manifolds of their hyperbolic sets, in the companion paper by Fontich et al. (2011) [10].     

Jump-diffusions in Hilbert spaces: existence,stability and numerics

By means of an original approach, called ‘method of the moving frame’, we establish existence, uniqueness and stability results for mild and weak solutions of stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) with path-dependent coefficients driven by an infinite-dimensional Wiener process and a compensated Poisson random measure. Our approach is based on a time-dependent coordinate transform, which reduces a wide class of SPDEs to a class of simpler SDE (stochastic differential equation) problems. We try to present the most general results, which we can obtain in our setting, within a self-contained framework to demonstrate our approach in all details. Also, several numerical approaches to SPDEs in the spirit of this setting are presented.     

White noise driven SPDEs with reflection: Existence,uniqueness and large deviation principles

In the first part of this paper, we prove the uniqueness of the solutions of SPDEs with reflection, which was left open in the paper [C. Donati-Martin, E. Pardoux, White noise driven SPDEs with reflection, Probab. Theory Related Fields 95 (1993) 1–24]. We also obtain the existence of the solution for more general coefficients depending on the past with a much shorter proof. In the second part of the paper, we establish a large deviation principle for SPDEs with reflection. The weak convergence approach is proven to be very efficient on this occasion.     

Analytic invariant manifolds for sequences of diffeomorphisms

We obtain real analytic invariant manifolds for trajectories of maps assuming only the existence of a nonuniform exponential behavior. We also consider the more general case of sequences of maps, which corresponds to a nonautonomous dynamics with discrete time. We emphasize that the maps that we consider are defined in a real Euclidean space, and thus, one is not able to obtain the invariant manifolds from a corresponding procedure to that in the nonuniform hyperbolicity theory in the context of holomorphic dynamics. We establish the existence both of stable (and unstable) manifolds and of center manifolds. As a byproduct of our approach we obtain an exponential control not only for the trajectories on the invariant manifolds, but also for all their derivatives.     

Large deviations for stochastic partial differential equations driven by a Poisson random measure

Stochastic partial differential equations driven by Poisson random measures (PRMs) have been proposed as models for many different physical systems, where they are viewed as a refinement of a corresponding noiseless partial differential equation (PDE). A systematic framework for the study of probabilities of deviations of the stochastic PDE from the deterministic PDE is through the theory of large deviations. The goal of this work is to develop the large deviation theory for small Poisson noise perturbations of a general class of deterministic infinite dimensional models. Although the analogous questions for finite dimensional systems have been well studied, there are currently no general results in the infinite dimensional setting. This is in part due to the fact that in this setting solutions may have little spatial regularity, and thus classical approximation methods for large deviation analysis become intractable. The approach taken here, which is based on a variational representation for nonnegative functionals of general PRMs, reduces the proof of the large deviation principle to establishing basic qualitative properties for controlled analogues of the underlying stochastic system. As an illustration of the general theory, we consider a particular system that models the spread of a pollutant in a waterway.     

The stable manifold theorem for non-linear stochastic systems with memory: II. The local stable manifold theorem

We state and prove a Local Stable Manifold Theorem (Theorem 4.1) for non-linear stochastic differential systems with finite memory (viz. stochastic functional differential equations (sfde's)). We introduce the notion of hyperbolicity for stationary trajectories of sfde's. We then establish the existence of smooth stable and unstable manifolds in a neighborhood of a hyperbolic stationary trajectory. The stable and unstable manifolds are stationary and asymptotically invariant under the stochastic semiflow. The proof uses infinite-dimensional multiplicative ergodic theory techniques developed by D. Ruelle, together with interpolation arguments.

Smooth solutions of non-linear stochastic partial differential equations driven by multiplicative noises

In this paper, we study the regularity of solutions of nonlinear stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) with multiplicative noises in the framework of Hilbert scales. Then we apply our abstract result to several typical nonlinear SPDEs such as stochastic Burgers and Ginzburg-Landau equations on the real line, stochastic 2D Navier-Stokes equations (SNSEs) in the whole space and a stochastic tamed 3D Navier-Stokes equation in the whole space, and obtain the existence of their smooth solutions respectively. In particular, we also get the existence of local smooth solutions for 3D SNSEs.     

Stable manifolds under very weak hyperbolicity conditions

We present an argument for proving the existence of local stable and unstable manifolds in a general abstract setting and under very weak hyperbolicity conditions.     

Dynamical systems on lattices with decaying interaction II: Hyperbolic sets and their invariant manifolds

This is the second part of the work devoted to the study of maps with decay in lattices. Here we apply the general theory developed in Fontich et al. (2011) [3] to the study of hyperbolic sets. In particular, we establish that any close enough perturbation with decay of an uncoupled lattice map with a hyperbolic set has also a hyperbolic set, with dynamics on the hyperbolic set conjugated to the corresponding of the uncoupled map. We also describe how the decay properties of the maps are inherited by the corresponding invariant manifolds.     

Relatively compact families of functionals on abstract Wiener space and applications

In this paper we prove two relatively compact criterions in some L^p-spaces(p>1) for the set of functionals on abstract Wiener space in terms of the compact embedding theorems in finite dimensional Sobolev spaces. Then, as applications we study several relatively compact families of random fields for the solutions to SDEs (and SPDEs) with coefficients satisfying some bounded assumptions, some stochastic integrals, and local times of diffusion processes.     

Stochastic viscosity solutions for SPDEs with continuous coefficients

In this note, nonlinear stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) with continuous coefficients are studied. Via the solutions of backward doubly stochastic differential equations (BDSDEs) with continuous coefficients, we provide an existence result of stochastic viscosity sub- and super-solutions to this class of SPDEs. Under some stronger conditions, we prove the existence of stochastic viscosity solutions.     

Stochastic partial differential equations with gradient driven by space-time fractional noises

We establish a class of stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) driven by space-time fractional noises, where we suppose that the drfit term contains a gradient and satisfies certain non-Lipschitz condition. We prove the strong existence and uniqueness and joint Hölder continuity of the solution to the SPDEs.     

Random attractors of stochastic partial differential equations: A smooth approximation approach

We use the method of smooth approximation to examine the random attractor for two classes of stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs). Roughly speaking, we perturb the SPDEs by a Wong-Zakai scheme using smooth colored noise approximation rather than the usual polygonal approximation. After establishing the existence of the random attractor of the perturbed system, we prove that when the colored noise tends to the white noise, the random attractor of the perturbed system with colored noise converges to that of the original SPDEs by invoking some continuity results on attractors in random dynamical systems.     

Approximate the dynamical behavior for stochastic systems by Wong–Zakai approaching

Random invariant manifolds and foliations play an important role in the study of the qualitative dynamical behaviors for nonlinear stochastic partial differential equations. In a general way, these random objects are difficult to be visualized geometrically or computed numerically. The current work provides a perturbation approach to approximate these random invariant manifolds and foliations. After briefly discussing the existence of random invariant manifolds and foliations for a class of stochastic systems driven by additive noises, the corresponding Wong–Zakai type of convergence result in path-wise sense is established.     

Ergodic properties for some non-expanding non-reversible systems

We study several properties of invariant measures obtained from preimages, for non-invertible maps on fractal sets which model non-reversible dynamical systems. We give two ways to describe the distribution of all preimages for endomorphisms which are not necessarily expanding on a basic set Λ. We give a topological dynamics condition which guarantees that the corresponding measures converge to a unique conformal ergodic borelian measure; this helps in estimating the unstable dimension a.e. with respect to this measure with the help of Lyapunov exponents. When there exist negative Lyapunov exponents of this limit measure, we study the conditional probabilities induced on the non-uniform local stable manifolds by the limit measure, and also its pointwise dimension on stable manifolds.     

Uniform exponential attractors for first order non-autonomous lattice dynamical systems

In Abdallah (2008, 2009) [2] and [3], we have investigated the existence of exponential attractors for first and second order autonomous lattice dynamical systems. Within this work, in l², we carefully study the existence of a uniform exponential attractor for the family of processes associated with an abstract family of first order non-autonomous lattice dynamical systems with quasiperiodic symbols acting on a closed bounded set.
