Abstract

This article focuses on parabolic equations with rough diffusion coefficients which are ill-posed in the classical sense of distributions due to the presence of a singular forcing. Inspired by the philosophy of rough paths and regularity structures, we introduce a notion of modelled distribution which is suitable in this context. We prove two general tools for reconstruction and integration, as well as a product lemma which is tailor made for the reconstruction of the rough diffusion operator. This yields a partially automated deterministic theory, which we apply to obtain an existence and uniqueness theory for parabolic equations with rough diffusion coefficients and a singular forcing in the negative parabolic H\"{o}lder space of order larger than 32-\frac{3}{2}.
