A perturbation result for semi-linear stochastic differential equations in UMD Banach spaces

Abstract

We consider the effect of perturbations of A on the solution to the following semi-linear parabolic stochastic partial differential equation:

$$\left\{\begin{array}{ll}{\rm d}U(t) & = AU(t)\,{\rm d}t + F(t,U(t))\,{\rm d}t + G(t,U(t))\,{\rm d}W_H(t), \quad t > 0;\\U(0)& = x_0. \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad({\rm SDE})\end{array} \right.$$

Here, A is the generator of an analytic C ₀-semigroup on a UMD Banach space X, H is a Hilbert space, W _H is an H-cylindrical Brownian motion, ${G:[0,T]\times X\rightarrow \mathcal{L}(H, X_{\theta_G}^{A})}$ , and ${F : [0, T]\times X \rightarrow X_{\theta_F}^{A}}$ for some ${\theta_G > -\frac{1}{2}, \theta_F > -\frac{3}{2}+\frac{1}{\tau}}$ , where ${\tau\in [1, 2]}$ denotes the type of the Banach space and ${X_{\theta_F}^{A}}$ denotes the fractional domain space or extrapolation space corresponding to A. We assume F and G to satisfy certain global Lipschitz and linear growth conditions.

Let A ₀ denote the perturbed operator and U ₀ the solution to (SDE) with A substituted by A ₀. We provide estimates for ${\|U - U_0\|_{L^p(\Omega;C([0,T];X))}}$ in terms of ${D_{\delta}(A, A_0) := \|R(\lambda : A) - R(\lambda : A_0)\|_{\mathcal{L}(X^{A}_{\delta-1},X)}}$ . Here, ${\delta\in [0, 1]}$ is assumed to satisfy ${0\leq \delta < {\rm min}\{\frac{3}{2} - \frac{1}{\tau} + \theta_F,\, \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{p} + \theta_G \}}$ . The work is inspired by the desire to prove convergence of space approximations of (SDE). In this article, we prove convergence rates for the case that A is approximated by its Yosida approximation.
