Abstract

We investigate a stochastic transport equation driven by a multiplicative noise. For Lq(0,T;W1,p(Rd;Rd))L^q(0,T;W^{1,p}({\mathbb R}^d;{\mathbb R}^d)) drift coefficient and W1,r(Rd)W^{1,r}({\mathbb R}^d) initial data, we obtain the existence and uniqueness of stochastic strong solutions (in Wloc1,r(Rd))W^{1,r}_{loc}({\mathbb R}^d)).In particular, when r=r=\infty, we establish a Lipschitz estimate for solutions and this question is opened by Fedrizzi and Flandoli in case of Lq(0,T;Lp(Rd;Rd))L^q(0,T;L^p({\mathbb R}^d;{\mathbb R}^d)) drift coefficient. Moreover, opposite to the deterministic case where Lq(0,T;W1,p(Rd;Rd))L^q(0,T;W^{1,p}({\mathbb R}^d;{\mathbb R}^d)) drift coefficient and W1,p(Rd)W^{1,p}({\mathbb R}^d) initial data may induce non-existence for strong solutions (in Wloc1,p(Rd)W^{1,p}_{loc}({\mathbb R}^d)), we prove that a multiplicative stochastic perturbation of Brownian type is enough to render the equation well-posed. It is an interesting example of a deterministic PDE that becomes well-posed under the influence of a multiplicative Brownian type noise. We extend the existing results \cite{FF2,FGP1} partially.
