Abstract:
In this paper, we investigate stochastic heat equation with sublinear diffusion coefficients. By assuming certain concavity of the diffusion coefficient, we establish non-trivial moment upper bounds for the solution. These moment bounds shed light on the \textit{smoothing intermittency effect} under \textit{weak diffusion} (i.e., sublinear growth) previously observed by Zeldovich {\it et al}. The method we employ is highly robust and can be extended to a wide range of stochastic partial differential equations, including the one-dimensional stochastic wave equation. This is a jointwork with Panqiu Xia (Auburn University).
