Abstract

We identify most probable flows for Kunita Brownian motions, i.e. stochastic flows with Eulerian noise and deterministic drifts. Such stochastic processes appear for example in fluid dynamics and shape analysis modelling coarse scale deterministic dynamics together with fine-grained noise. We treat this infinite dimensional problem by equipping the underlying domain with a Riemannian metric originating from the noise. The resulting most probable flows are compared with the non-perturbed deterministic flow, both analytically and experimentally by integrating the equations with various choice of noise structures.
