Chung's Law of the Iterated Logarithm for a Class of Stochastic Heat Equations

Abstract

We establish a Chung-type law of the iterated logarithm for the solutions of a class of stochastic heat equations driven by a multiplicative noise whose coefficient depends on the solution, and this dependence takes us away from Gaussian setting. Based on the literature on small ball probabilities and the technique of freezing coefficients, the limiting constant in Chung's law of the iterated logarithm can be evaluated almost surely.
