Abstract

For the heat equation driven by a smooth, Gaussian random potential: tuε=12Δuε+uε(ξεcε),t>0,xR, where ξε converges to a spacetime white noise, and cε is a diverging constant chosen properly, we prove that uε converges in Ln to the solution of the stochastic heat equation for any n1. Our proof is probabilistic, hence provides another perspective of the general result of Hairer and Pardoux (J. Math. Soc. Japan 67 (2015) 1551–1604), for the special case of the stochastic heat equation. We also discuss the transition from homogenization to stochasticity.
