Stochastic Partial Differential Equations A Modeling, White Noise Fu

This book is based on research that, to a large extent, started around 1990, when a research project on fluid flow in stochastic reservoirs was initiated by a group including some of us with the support of VISTA, a research coopera­ tion between the Norwe

REPORT


The front cover shows the time development of a vibrating string under the influence of a local 2-parameter white noise force, i.e., a sample path of a solution to the wave equation

where Wx .t denotes a 2-parameter white noise. Note in particular the wave propagation along the characteristics x + t = 0.25 and x - t = 0.75.

Similarly, for the multiparameter equation the solution u of the corresponding SPDE will be a function

Such prot esses are called functional processes. We stress that from a modeling point of "iew these processes are of interest in their own right, not just as technically convenient "approximations". In fact, there may be cases where it is not even )lhysically relevant to ask what happens if cP - 8 0 (the Dirac measure
