  Abstract.

  show abstract

  We prove a result on the fractional Sobolev regularity of composition of paths of low fractional Sobolev regularity with functions of bounded variation. The result relies on the notion of variability, proposed in an earlier joint article. Here we work under relaxed hypotheses, formulated in terms of Sobolev norms, and we can allow discontinuous paths, which is new. The result applies to typical realizations of certain Gaussian or Lévy processes, and we use it to show the existence of Stieltjes type integrals involving compositions.

  Abstract.

  show abstract

  We study stability, long-time behavior and moment estimates for stochastic evolution equations with additive Wiener noise and with singular drift given by a divergence type quasilinear diffusion operator which may not necessarily exhibit a homogeneous diffusivity. Our results cover the singular p-Laplace and, more generally, singular Φ-Laplace equations with zero Dirichlet boundary conditions. We obtain improved moment estimates and quantitative convergence rates of the ergodic semigroup to the unique invariant measure, classified in a systematic way according to the degree of local degeneracy of the potential at the origin. We obtain new concentration results for the invariant measure and establish maximal dissipativity of the associated Kolmogorov operator. In particular, we recover the results for the curve shortening flow in the plane by Es-Sarhir, von Renesse and Stannat, NoDEA 16(9), 2012.

• J. M. Tölle (with E. Hausenblas). The stochastic Klausmeier system and a stochastic Schauder-Tychonoff type theorem. Preprint, submitted (2021), 52 pp., arXiv:1912.00996.
  

  Abstract.

  show abstract

  On the one hand, we investigate the existence and pathwise uniqueness of a nonnegative martingale solution to the stochastic evolution system of nonlinear advection-diffusion equations proposed by Klausmeier with Gaussian multiplicative noise. On the other hand, we present and verify a general stochastic version of the Schauder-Tychonoff fixed point theorem, as its application is an essential step for showing existence of the solution to the stochastic Klausmeier system. The analysis of the system is based both on variational and semigroup techniques. We also discuss additional regularity properties of the solution.

• J. M. Tölle (with M. Hinz and L. Viitasaari). Variability of paths and differential equations with BV-coefficients. Preprint, submitted (2020), 68 pp., arXiv:2003.11698.
  

  Abstract.

  show abstract

  We define compositions φ(X) of Hölder paths X in ℝⁿ and functions of bounded variation φ under a relative condition involving the path and the gradient measure of φ. We show the existence and properties of generalized Lebesgue-Stieltjes integrals of compositions φ(X) with respect to a given Hölder path Y. These results are then used, together with Doss’ transform, to obtain existence and, in a certain sense, uniqueness results for differential equations in ℝⁿ driven by Hölder paths and involving coefficients of bounded variation. Examples include equations with discontinuous coefficients driven by paths of two-dimensional fractional Brownian motions.
