Abstract

The authors consider a stochastic heat equation in dimension d = 1 driven by an additive space time white noise and having a mild nonlinearity. It is proved that the functional law of its solution is absolutely continuous and possesses a smooth density with respect to the functional law of the corresponding linear SPDE.
