Limit theorems for time-dependent averages of nonlinear stochastic heat equations

Probability 2020-12-14 v2

Abstract

We study limit theorems for time-dependent averages of the form Xt:=12L(t)L(t)L(t)u(t,x)dxX_t:=\frac{1}{2L(t)}\int_{-L(t)}^{L(t)} u(t, x) \, dx, as tt\to \infty, where L(t)=exp(λt)L(t)=\exp(\lambda t) and u(t,x)u(t, x) is the solution to a stochastic heat equation on R+×R\mathbb{R}_+\times \mathbb{R} driven by space-time white noise with u0(x)=1u_0(x)=1 for all xRx\in \mathbb{R}. We show that for XtX_t (i) the weak law of large numbers holds when λ>λ1\lambda>\lambda_1, (ii) the strong law of large numbers holds when λ>λ2\lambda>\lambda_2, (iii) the central limit theorem holds when λ>λ3\lambda>\lambda_3, but fails when λ<λ4λ3\lambda <\lambda_4\leq \lambda_3, (iv) the quantitative central limit theorem holds when λ>λ5\lambda>\lambda_5, where λi\lambda_i's are positive constants depending on the moment Lyapunov exponents of u(t,x)u(t, x).
