The Obstacle Problem for Quasilinear Stochastic PDEs with non-homogeneous operator

Probability 2013-01-08 v1

Abstract

We prove the existence and uniqueness of solution of the obstacle problem for quasilinear Stochastic PDEs with non-homogeneous second order operator. Our method is based on analytical technics coming from the parabolic potential theory. The solution is expressed as a pair (u,ν)(u,\nu) where uu is a predictable continuous process which takes values in a proper Sobolev space and ν\nu is a random regular measure satisfying minimal Skohorod condition. Moreover, we establish a maximum principle for local solutions of such class of stochastic PDEs. The proofs are based on a version of It\^o's formula and estimates for the positive part of a local solution which is non-positive on the lateral boundary.
