Stochastic heat equation with rough dependence in space

Abstract

This paper studies the nonlinear one-dimensional stochastic heat equation driven by a Gaussian noise which is white in time and which has the covariance of a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter $H\in (\frac{1}{4},\frac{1}{2})$ in the space variable. The existence and uniqueness of the solution $u$ are proved assuming the nonlinear coefficient $\sigma(u)$ is differentiable with a Lipschitz derivative and $\sigma(0)=0$.
