Existence of smooth stable manifolds for a class of parabolic SPDEs with fractional noise (2310.17981v1)

Abstract: Little seems to be known about the invariant manifolds for stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) driven by nonlinear multiplicative noise. Here we contribute to this aspect and analyze the Lu-Schmalfu{\ss} conjecture [Garrido-Atienza, et al., J. Differential Equations, 248(7):1637--1667, 2010] on the existence of stable manifolds for a class of parabolic SPDEs driven by nonlinear mutiplicative fractional noise. We emphasize that stable manifolds for SPDEs are infinite-dimensional objects, and the classical Lyapunov-Perron method cannot be applied, since the Lyapunov-Perron operator does not give any information about the backward orbit. However, by means of interpolation theory, we construct a suitable function space in which the discretized Lyapunov-Perron-type operator has a unique fixed point. Based on this we further prove the existence and smoothness of local stable manifolds for such SPDEs.
