Stability of Travelling Waves on Exponentially Long Timescales in Stochastic Reaction-Diffusion Equations

Analysis of PDEs 2020-06-26 v2

Abstract

In this paper we establish the meta-stability of travelling waves for a class of reaction-diffusion equations forced by a multiplicative noise term. In particular, we show that the phase-tracking technique developed in [hamster2017,hamster2020] can be maintained over timescales that are exponentially long with respect to the noise intensity. This is achieved by combining the generic chaining principle with a mild version of the Burkholder-Davis-Gundy inequality to establish logarithmic supremum bounds for stochastic convolutions in the critical regularity regime.
