Abstract

We consider the following stochastic partial differential equation, \begin{align*} &dY_t=L^\ast Y_tdt+A^\ast Y_t\cdot dB_t\\ &Y_0=\psi, \end{align*} associated with a stochastic flow {X(t,x)}\{X(t,x)\}, for t0t \geq 0, xRdx \in \mathbb{R}^d, as in [Rajeev \& Thangavelu, \emph{{Probabilistic representations of solutions of the forward equations}}, Potential Anal. \textbf{28} (2008), no.~2, 139--162]. We show that the strong solutions constructed there are `locally of compact support'. Using this notion,we define the mild solutions of the above equation and show the equivalence between strong and mild solutions in the multi Hilbertian space S\mathcal{S}^\prime. We show uniqueness of solutions in the case when ψ\psi is smooth via the `monotonicity inequality' for (L,A)(L^\ast,A^\ast), which is a known criterion for uniqueness.
