Abstract

We study the validity of a Smoluchowski-Kramers approximation for a class of wave equations in a bounded domain of Rn\mathbb{R}^n subject to a state-dependent damping and perturbed by a multiplicative noise. We prove that in the small mass limit the solution converges to the solution of a stochastic quasilinear parabolic equation where a noise-induced extra drift is created.
