Abstract
We give a brief introduction and overview of the topic of regularization and well-posedness by noise for ordinary and partial differential equations. The article is an attempt to outline in a concise fashion different directions of research in this field that have attracted attention in recent years. We close the article with a look on more recent developments in the field of nonlinear SPDE, focusing on stochastic scalar conservation laws and porous media equations. The article is tailored at master/PhD level, trying to allow a smooth introduction to the subject and pointing at a large list of references to allow further in-depth study.
Dedicated to Michael Röckner in honor of his 60th birthday.
