Interpreting the noise in a stochastic differential equation, in particular the It\^o versus Stratonovich dilemma, is a problem that has generated a lot of debate in the physical literature. In the last decades, a third interpretation of…
Suppose the observations of Lagrangian trajectories for fluid flow in some physical situation can be modelled sufficiently accurately by a spatially correlated It\^o stochastic process (with zero mean) obtained from data which is taken in…
Many real-world systems exhibit ``noisy'' evolution in time; interpreting their finitely-sampled behavior as arising from continuous-time processes (in the It\^o or Stratonovich sense) has led to significant success in modeling and analysis…
The It\^{o} and Stratonovich approaches are two ways to integrate stochastic differential equations. Detailed knowledge of the origin of the stochastic noise is needed to determine which approach suits a particular problem. I discuss this…
It is widely assumed that there exists a simple transformation from the It\^o interpretation to the one by Stratonovich and back for any stochastic differential equation of applied interest. While this transformation exists under suitable…
Langevin equation with a multiplicative stochastic force is considered. That force is uncorrelated, it has the L\'evy distribution and the power-law intensity. The Fokker-Planck equations, which correspond both to the It\^o and Stratonovich…
The famous It\^o-Stratonovich dilemma arises when one examines a dynamical system with a multiplicative white noise. In physics literature, this dilemma is often resolved in favour of the Stratonovich prescription because of its two…
We prove that a solution, in a variational framework, to the Stratonovich stochastic partial differential equation with noise $G\left(t, \Psi_t\right) \circ dW_t$ is given by a solution to the It\^{o} equation with It\^{o}-Stratonovich…
We discuss intrinsic noise effects in stochastic multiplicative-noise partial differential equations, which are qualitatively independent of the noise interpretation (Ito vs. Stratonovich), in particular in the context of noise-induced…
The aim of this paper is to study the $d$-dimensional stochastic heat equation with a multiplicative Gaussian noise which is white in space and it has the covariance of a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter $% H\in (0,1)$ in…
The diffusive dynamics of a particle in a medium with space-dependent friction coefficient is studied within the framework of the inertial Langevin equation. In this description, the ambiguous interpretation of the stochastic integral,…
Having a priori knowledge of the force acting on a noisy system it is possible to solve the issue relative to the interpretation of multiplicative noise terms (aka Ito-Stratonovich dilemma). We experimentally show that for a Brownian…
The canonical model of stochastic search tracks a randomly diffusing "searcher" until it finds a "target." Owing to its many applications across science and engineering, this perennially popular problem has been thoroughly investigated in a…
The Ito-Stratonovich dilemma is revisited from the perspective of the interpretation of Stratonovich calculus using shot noise. Over the long time scales of the displacement of an observable, the principal issue is how to deal with…
This paper compares the results of applying a recently developed method of stochastic uncertainty quantification designed for fluid dynamics to the Born-Infeld model of nonlinear electromagnetism. The similarities in the results are…
The classical stochastic model of cosmology recently developed by us is reconsidered. In that approach the parameter $w$ defined by the equation of state $p=w{\rho}$ was taken to be fluctuating with mean zero and we compared the theoretical…
Recent experiments on Brownian colloidal particles have been studied theoretically in terms of overdamped Langevin equations with multiplicative white noise using an unconventional stochastic interpretation. Complementary numerical…
We consider a class of stochastic PDEs of Burgers type in spatial dimension 1, driven by space-time white noise. Even though it is well known that these equations are well posed, it turns out that if one performs a spatial discretization of…
In this article, we construct a Stratonovich solution for the stochastic wave equation in spatial dimension $d \leq 2$, with time-independent noise and linear term $\sigma(u)=u$ multiplying the noise. The noise is spatially homogeneous and…
Astronomical observations have shown that the expansion of the universe is at present accelerating, in a way consistent with the presence of a positive cosmological constant. This is a major puzzle, because we do not understand: why the…
