Impulse Control Of Stochastic Navier-Stokes Equations, J. L. Menaldi, S. S. Sritharan Jan 2003

Impulse Control Of Stochastic Navier-Stokes Equations, J. L. Menaldi, S. S. Sritharan

Mathematics Faculty Research Publications

In this paper we study stopping time and impulse control problems for stochastic Navier-Stokes equation. Exploiting a local monotonicity property of the nonlinearity, we establish existence and uniqueness of strong solutions in two dimensions which gives a Markov-Feller process. The variational inequality associated with the stopping time problem and the quasi-variational inequality associated with the impulse control problem are resolved in a weak sense, using semigroup approach with a convergence uniform over path.

Stochastic 2-D Navier-Stokes Equation, J. L. Menaldi, S. S. Sritharan

Mathematics Faculty Research Publications

In this paper we prove the existence and uniqueness of strong solutions for the stochastic Navier-Stokes equation in bounded and unbounded domains. These solutions are stochastic analogs of the classical Lions-Prodi solutions to the deterministic Navier-Stokes equation. Local monotonicity of the nonlinearity is exploited to obtain the solutions in a given probability space and this signi cantly improves the earlier techniques for obtaining strong solutions, which depended on pathwise solutions to the Navier-Stokes martingale problem where the probability space is also obtained as a part of the solution.
