Existence and extinction in finite time for Stratonovich gradient noise porous media equations

Abstract

We study existence and uniqueness of distributional solutions to the stochastic partial differential equation $dX - ( \nu \Delta X + \Delta \psi (X) ) dt = \sum_{i=1}^N \langle b_i, \nabla X \rangle \circ d\beta_i$ in $]0,T[ \times \mathcal{O}$, with $X(0) = x(\xi)$ in $\mathcal{O}$ and $X = 0$ on $]0,T[ \times \partial \mathcal{O}$. Moreover, we prove extinction in finite time of the solutions in the special case of fast diffusion model and of self-organized criticality model.
