Abstract:
This talk is concerned with linear parabolic equations with rough diffusion coefficients and singular forcing which are ill-posed in the classical sense of distributions. Working within the philosophy of rough paths and regularity structures, we establish an existence and uniqueness theory under the hypothesis that the diffusion coefficients have an enhanced description as a modelled distribution. This is joint work with Felix Otto, Jonas Sauer, and Hendrik Weber.
