Abstract

In this paper we work with parabolic SPDEs of the form tu(t,x)=x2u(t,x)+g(t,x,u)+σ(t,x,u)W˙(t,x) \partial_t u(t,x)=\partial_x^2 u(t,x)+g(t,x,u)+\sigma(t,x,u)\dot{W}(t,x) with Neumann boundary conditions, where x[0,1]x\in[0,1], W˙(t,x)\dot{W}(t,x) is the space-time white noise on (t,x)[0,)×[0,1](t,x)\in[0,\infty)\times [0,1], gg is uniformly bounded, and the solution uRu\in\mathbb{R} is real valued. The diffusion coefficient σ\sigma is assumed to be uniformly elliptic but only H\"older continuous in uu. Previously, support theorems for SPDEs have only been established assuming that σ\sigma is Lipschitz continuous in uu. We obtain new support theorems and small ball probabilities in this σ\sigma H\"older continuous case via the recently established sharp two sided estimates of stochastic integrals.
