Stochastic differential equations in infinite dimensional spaces are motivated by the theory and analysis of stochastic processes and by applications such as stochastic control, population biology, and turbulence, where the analysis and control of such systems involves investigating their stability. While the theory of such equations is well establ

The systematic study of existence, uniqueness, and properties of solutions to stochastic differential equations in infinite dimensions arising from practical problems characterizes this volume that is intended for graduate students and for pure and applied mathematicians, physicists, engineers, professionals working with mathematical models of finance. Major methods include compactness, coercivity, monotonicity, in a variety of set-ups. The authors emphasize the fundamental work of Gikhman and Skorokhod on the existence and uniqueness of solutions to stochastic differential equations and present its extension to infinite dimension. They also generalize the work of Khasminskii on stability and stationary distributions of solutions. New results, applications, and examples of stochastic partial differential equations are included. This clear and detailed presentation gives the basics of the infinite dimensional version of the classic books of Gikhman and Skorokhod and of Khasminskii in one concise volume that covers the main topics in infinite dimensional stochastic PDE’s. By appropriate selection of material, the volume can be adapted for a 1- or 2-semester course, and can prepare the reader for research in this rapidly expanding area.

This research monograph brings together, for the first time, the varied literature on Yosida approximations of stochastic differential equations (SDEs) in infinite dimensions and their applications into a single cohesive work. The author provides a clear and systematic introduction to the Yosida approximation method and justifies its power by presenting its applications in some practical topics such as stochastic stability and stochastic optimal control. The theory assimilated spans more than 35 years of mathematics, but is developed slowly and methodically in digestible pieces. The book begins with a motivational chapter that introduces the reader to several different models that play recurring roles throughout the book as the theory is unfolded, and invites readers from different disciplines to see immediately that the effort required to work through the theory that follows is worthwhile. From there, the author presents the necessary prerequisite material, and then launches the reader into the main discussion of the monograph, namely, Yosida approximations of SDEs, Yosida approximations of SDEs with Poisson jumps, and their applications. Most of the results considered in the main chapters appear for the first time in a book form, and contain illustrative examples on stochastic partial differential equations. The key steps are included in all proofs, especially the various estimates, which help the reader to get a true feel for the theory of Yosida approximations and their use. This work is intended for researchers and graduate students in mathematics specializing in probability theory and will appeal to numerical analysts, engineers, physicists and practitioners in finance who want to apply the theory of stochastic evolution equations. Since the approach is based mainly in semigroup theory, it is amenable to a wide audience including non-specialists in stochastic processes.

In engineering, physics and economics, many dynamical systems involving with stochastic components and random noise are often modeled by stochastic models. The stochastic effects of these models are often used to describe the uncertainty about the operating systems. Motivated by the development of analysis and theory of stochastic processes, as well as the studies of natural sciences, the theory of stochastic differential equations in infinite dimensional spaces evolves gradually into a branch of modern analysis. Many qualitative properties of such systems have been studied in the past few decades, among which, investigation of stability of such systems is often regarded as the first characteristic of the dynamical systems or models. In general, this thesis is mainly concerned with the studies of the stability property of stochastic differential equations in Hilbert spaces. Chapter 1 is an introduction to a brief history of stochastic differential equations in infinite dimensions, together with an overview of the studies. Chapter 2 is a presentation of preliminaries to some basic stochastic analysis. In Chapter 3, we study the stability in distribution of mild solutions to stochastic delay differential equations with Poisson jumps. Firstly, we use approximation of strong solutions to pass on the stability of strong solutions to the mild ones. Then, by constructing a suitable metric between the transition probability functions of mild solutions, we obtain the desired stability result under some suitable conditions. In Chapter 4, we investigate the stochastic partial delay differential equations with Markovian switching and Poisson jumps. By estimating the coefficients of energy equality, both the exponential stability and almost sure exponential stability of energy solutions to the equations are obtained. In Chapter 5, we study the relationship among strong, weak and mild solutions to the stochastic functional differential equations of neutral type. Finally, in Chapter 6, we study the asymptotic stability of two types of equations, impulsive stochastic delay differential equations with Poisson jumps and stochastic evolution equations with Poisson jumps. By employing the fixed point theorem, we derive the desired stability results under some criteria.
