A Boundedness Trichotomy for the Stochastic Heat Equation

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

We consider the stochastic heat equation with a multiplicative white noise forcing term under standard "intermitency conditions." The main finding of this paper is that, under mild regularity hypotheses, the a.s.-boundedness of the solution x↦u(t ,x)x\mapsto u(t\,,x) can be characterized generically by the decay rate, at ±∞\pm\infty, of the initial function u0u_0. More specifically, we prove that there are 3 generic boundedness regimes, depending on the numerical value of Λ:=lim⁡∣x∣→∞∣log⁡u0(x)∣/(log⁡∣x∣)2/3Λ:= \lim_{|x|\to\infty} |\log u_0(x)|/(\log|x|)^{2/3}.
