ASYMPTOTIC COMPACTNESS OF STOCHASTIC COMPLEX GINZBURG–LANDAU EQUATION ON AN UNBOUNDED DOMAIN

Abstract

The Ginzburg–Landau-type complex equations are simplified mathematical models for various pattern formation systems in mechanics, physics and chemistry. In this paper, we consider the complex Ginzburg–Landau (CGL) equations on the whole real line perturbed by an additive spacetime white noise. Our main result shows that it generates an asymptotically compact stochastic or random dynamical system. This is a crucial property for the existence of a stochastic attractor for such CGL equations. We rely on suitable spaces with weights, due to the regularity properties of spacetime white noise, which gives rise to solutions that are unbounded in space.
