Modern Stochastics: Theory and Applications

A stochastic heat equation on $[0,T]\times B$, where B is a bounded domain, is considered. The equation is driven by a general stochastic measure, for which only σ-additivity in probability is assumed. The existence, uniqueness and Hölder regularity of the solution are proved.

In the paper we consider higher-order partial differential equations from the class of linear dispersive equations. We investigate solutions to these equations subject to random initial conditions given by harmonizable φ-sub-Gaussian processes. The main results are the bounds for the distributions of the suprema for solutions. We present the examples of processes for which the assumptions of the general result are verified and bounds are written in the explicit form. The main result is also specified for the case of Gaussian initial condition.

We consider a Cauchy problem for stochastic heat equation driven by a real harmonizable fractional stable process Z with Hurst parameter $H>1/2$ and stability index $\alpha >1$. It is shown that the approximations for its solution, which are defined by truncating the LePage series for Z, converge to the solution.
