A note on intermittency for the fractional heat equation

Abstract

The goal of the present note is to study intermittency properties for the solution to the fractional heat equation \frac{\partial u}{\partial t}(t,x) = -(-\Delta)^{\beta/2} u(t,x) + u(t,x)\dot{W}(t,x), \quad t>0,x \in \bR^d with initial condition bounded above and below, where β(0,2]\beta \in (0,2] and the noise WW behaves in time like a fractional Brownian motion of index H>1/2H>1/2, and has a spatial covariance given by the Riesz kernel of index α(0,d)\alpha \in (0,d). As a by-product, we obtain that the necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of the solution is α<β\alpha<\beta.Comment: 12 page
