Nonlinear random perturbations of Reaction-Diffusion Equations

Abstract

This paper investigates the well-posedness and small-noise asymptotics of a class of stochastic partial differential equations defined on a bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^d$, where the diffusion coefficient depends nonlinearly and non-locally on the solution through a conditional expectation. The reaction term is assumed to be merely continuous and to satisfy a quasi-dissipativity condition, without requiring any growth bounds or local Lipschitz continuity. This setting introduces significant analytical challenges due to the temporal non-locality and the lack of regularity assumptions. Our results represent a substantial advance in the study of nonlinear stochastic perturbations of SPDEs, extending the framework developed in a previous paper.
