Advances in Difference Equations volume 2017, Article number: 175 (2017)
Abstract
In this paper, we study a class of neutral stochastic differential equations (NSDEs) with the cylindrical Brownian motion and Lévy noises in an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space. The existence and uniqueness of the mild solutions to these stochastic differential equations are discussed under assumptions of linear growth on the coefficients. The results of Taniguchi (J. Math. Anal. Appl. 360:245-253, 2009) are generalized and improved as a special case of our theory.
1 Introduction
The stochastic neutral differential equations have attracted much attention because of their practical applications in many areas such as physics, population dynamics, electrical engineering, medicine biology, ecology and other areas of science and engineering [1–7]. It is very important to find the solutions of stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with additive-noise on infinite-dimensional state spaces, so there has been an increasing interest in the investigation of the existence and uniqueness of mild solutions for a class of neutral stochastic differential equations [8–12]. In particular, the neutral stochastic differential equations are driven by Poisson jump processes [13–18]. By introducing the Itô stochastic calculus with G-Brownian motion, Revathi and Sakthivel extended the existence and uniqueness results to a class of nonautonomous stochastic neutral differential equations with infinite delay in real separable Hilbert spaces [19, 20]. In addition, Benchaabane studied a class of nonlinear fractional Sobolev-type stochastic differential equations in Hilbert spaces [21].
However, it should be mentioned that only a few papers have discussed the existence and uniqueness of mild solutions of stochastic differential equations driven by Brownian motion and Lévy noises. Cao established the existence and uniqueness of mild solutions to semilinear backward stochastic evolution equations driven by the cylindrical Brownian motion and the Poisson point process in a Hilbert space with non-Lipschitzian coefficients by the successive approximation [22]. Luo considered the existence and uniqueness of mild solutions to stochastic neutral delay evolution equations with finite delay and Poisson jumps by the Banach fixed point theorem [23]. Furthermore, Albeverio discussed the existence of mild solutions for stochastic differential equations and semilinear equations with non-Gaussian Lévy noise [24]. Lately, Cui and Yan proved the existence and uniqueness of mild solutions of neutral stochastic evolution equations with infinite delay and Poisson jumps by using ‘non-Lipschitz conditions’ [25]. Very recently, Mao established the existence and uniqueness theorem of mild solutions to general neutral stochastic functional differential equations with infinite delay and Lévy jumps under the local Carathéodory-type conditions [26]. Note that these works established the existence and uniqueness of the solution under the non-Lipschitz conditions, and their methods depend heavily on the given hypotheses. So it is important to find some applicable and flexible conditions to ensure the existence results. Motivated by the aforementioned works, we aim to study the existence and uniqueness of mild solutions for SDEs with the cylindrical Brownian motion and Lévy noises in an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space of the form
where T is the infinitesimal generator of a pseudo-contraction semigroup \((S_{t})_{t\geq0}\), and \(A: {\mathbb {R}}^{+}\times D({\mathbb {R}}^{+},H)\rightarrow H\), \(g: {\mathbb {R}}^{+}\times H\to L_{2}(H)\) and \(h: {\mathbb {R}}^{+}\times H\setminus\{0\}\times D({ \mathbb {R}}^{+},H)\rightarrow H\) are jointly measurable functions, \(W_{t}\) and \(\tilde{N}(t,u)\) denote the cylindrical Brownian motion and compensated Poisson random measure, respectively. Our main result is established with the help of Banach contraction semigroup theory. Thus, the results of Taniguchi are generalized [11].
This paper is organized as follows. In Section 2 we define the fundamental concepts and notations for stochastic integration with respect to Wiener processes and Lévy random measures. In Section 3 we provide, for the sake of completeness, existence and uniqueness results for Hilbert spaces valued SDEs. Finally, we give an example to illustrate the theory in Section 4.
2 Preliminaries
Let E and H be separable Hilbert spaces with the norms \(\| \cdot\|_{E}\) and \(\|\cdot\|_{H}\), respectively. The inner products in E and H are denoted by \((\cdot,\cdot)_{E} \) and \(\langle\cdot,\cdot\rangle_{H} \), let \(L(E, H)\) denote the space of all bounded linear operators from E to H.
Let \((\Omega, \mathbf{P}, {\mathbb {F}})\) be a complete probability space on which an increasing and right-continuous family \(({\mathbb {F}}_{t} )_{t\in[0,\infty]}\) of complete sub-σ-algebra of \({\mathbb {F}}\) is defined. The filtered probability space \((\Omega, {\mathbb {F}}, ({\mathbb {F}}_{t})_{t\in[0,\infty]},\mathbf{P})\) satisfying the ‘usual hypothesis’ is given as follows:
-
(i)
\({\mathbb {F}}_{t}\) contains all null sets of \({\mathbb {F}}\) for all t such that \(0\leq t< \infty\).
-
(ii)
\({\mathbb {F}}_{t}={\mathbb {F}}^{+}_{t}\), where \({\mathbb {F}}^{+}_{t}=\bigcap_{ u>t}{\mathbb {F}}_{u}\) for all t such that \(0\leq t< \infty\), i.e., the filtration is right continuous.
Let \((L(t):t > 0)\) be a Lévy process with values in a separable Banach space H and define
for every \(\Lambda\in \mathcal {B}(H\setminus\{0\})\). Together with the Lévy measure \(\nu(\Lambda):={\mathbb {E}}[1,\Lambda]\), the compensated Poisson random measure is defined by
with \({\mathbb {E}}[\widetilde{N}(t,\Lambda)^{2}]=t\nu(\Lambda)\).
A stochastic process X is said to be càdlàg if it almost surely has sample path which are right continuous, with left limits. Let \(\Omega=D({\mathbb {R}}^{+},H)\) be a space of càdlàg functions defined on \({\mathbb {R}}^{+}\) and with values in H with norm \(\Vert\cdot\Vert_{\infty} :=\sup_{t\in[0,T]}\Vert\cdot \Vert_{H}\).
Let \(Q\in L(E)\) be a nonnegative self-adjoint operator, and let \(L_{2}^{0}(E, H)\) denote the space of all \(\xi\in L(E, H)\) such that \(\xi\sqrt{Q}\) is a Hilbert-Schmidt operator and with norm \(\lVert\xi \rVert_{L_{2}^{0}}^{2}:=\operatorname{tr}(\xi Q \xi^{*})<\infty\). Then ξ is called the Q-Hilbert-Schmidt operator from E to H. Let \(\beta_{n}(t)\) (\(n =1, 2, 3,\dots\)) be a sequence of real-valued one-dimensional standard Brownian motions mutually independent on \((\Omega, \mathbf{P}, \mathbb{F})\), and let \(\{e_{n}\}\) (\(n=1, 2, 3,\ldots\)) be a complete orthonormal basis in E. Let Q be a nonnegative, linear and bounded covariance operator such that \(\operatorname {tr}(Q)<\infty\), and assume that there exists a bounded sequence of nonnegative real numbers \(\{\lambda_{n}\}\) such that \(Qe_{n}=\lambda_{n}e_{n}\), \(n=1, 2,\ldots\) . Thus we consider an E-valued stochastic process W(t) given formally by the following series:
From now on, we suppose that the operator \(Q \in L(E)\) is a nonnegative self-adjoint trace operator, then this series converges in the space E, that is, \(W(t)\in L_{2}(\Omega, E)\). Let \(v \in E\), the inner product \((W(t),v)_{E}\) given by the above E-valued stochastic process \(W(t)\) satisfies the conditions of a cylindrical Wiener process. Since
So, when the operator \(Q\in L(E)\) is a nonnegative self-adjoint trace operator, we usually say the above \(W(t)\) is the E-valued Q-cylindrical Wiener process with a covariance operator Q.
Next, let \(\varphi(s)\) be an \(L_{0}^{2}(E, H)\) valued \({\mathbb {F}}_{t}\)-adapted stochastic process with
Then we define the stochastic integral
of φ with respect to the E-valued Q-cylindrical Wiener process \(W(t)\) by
for any \(v \in H\) using the Itö integral with respect to \(\beta_{n}(s)\).
Throughout this paper, we assume that the filtration is generated by the E-valued Q-cylindrical Wiener process \(W(t)\), and Lévy process is augmented, that is, \({\mathbb {F}}_{t}:=\sigma\{W(s); s\leq t\}\vee\sigma\{N(t,\Lambda);\Lambda\in \mathcal {B}(H\setminus\{0\})\} \vee \mathcal {N}\), where \(\mathcal {N}\) is the null sets of \({\mathbb {F}}\). For more details, one can see [13, 27] and the references therein.
Definition 2.1
[24]
Let \((S_{t})_{t\geq0}\) be a continuous semigroup on H, which has the property
for some constant \(\alpha>0\), and with \(\Vert\cdot\Vert_{H}\) denoting the operator norm on H, it is called a pseudo-contraction semigroup on H.
Definition 2.2
Let \(T>0\) be fixed. The stochastic process \(x(t):=(x_{t}(\omega))_{t\in [0,T]}\) is a mild solution of (1.1) with the initial condition \(x_{0}=x_{0}(\omega)\) if it is a solution of the following convolution equation:
P-almost surely hold for each \(t\in[0,T]\).
Lemma 2.3
[27]
Let \(p>2\), \(T>0\) and suppose \(\varphi(t)\) is an \(L^{0}_{2}\)-valued predictable process such that \({\mathbb {E}}(\int_{0}^{T}\lVert\varphi(s)\rVert_{L_{2}^{0}}^{p}\,ds )<+\infty\). Let
Then there exists \(C(p,S)\geq0\) such that
Moreover, if inequality (2.3) is satisfied, then there exists a continuous version of the process \(W_{S}^{\varphi}\), \(t\geq0\). If \((S_{t})_{t\geq0}\) is a contraction semigroup, then the above result is true for \(p\geqslant2\).
Lemma 2.4
[28]
Let \(\phi: {\mathbb {R}}^{+}\times H\setminus\{0\}\times \Omega\to H\) be a predictable function satisfying
for all \(t\geqslant0\) P-almost surely. Let
If \((S_{t})_{t\geq0}\) is a contraction semigroup, then \(\forall0< p\leqslant2\), there exists a constant \(C_{p,T}\geqslant0\) such that
3 Existence and uniqueness of mild solutions
In this section, we discuss the existence and uniqueness of mild solutions to the stochastic equation (1.1) in a Hilbert space.
For each \(t\in{\mathbb {R}}^{+}\), we definite the function \(\theta_{t}: D({\mathbb {R}}^{+},H)\rightarrow D({\mathbb {R}}^{+},H)\)
Starting from here, we suppose that the following additional assumptions hold.
Assumption 3.1
-
(1)
\(h(t, u, x)\) is jointly measurable, and for all \(u\in H\) and \(t\in{\mathbb {R}}^{+}\) fixed, \(h(t, u, \cdot)\) is \({\mathbb {F}}_{t}\)-adapted;
-
(2)
\(A(t, x)\) is jointly measurable, and for all \(t\in {\mathbb {R}}^{+}\) fixed, \(A(t,\cdot)\) is \({\mathbb {F}}_{t}\)-adapted;
-
(3)
assume that \(h(t, u, x)=h(t, u, \theta_{t}(x))\) and \(A(t, x)=A(t,\theta_{t}(x))\).
Assumption 3.2
There exists a constant \(K>0 \) such that for any \(t\in{ \mathbb {R}}^{+} \) the following inequality is satisfied:
Assumption 3.3
There exists a constant \(K\geqslant0 \) such that for any fixed \(x, y\in D({\mathbb {R}}^{+},H)\),
for P-almost surely.
For simply, \(C_{K,\alpha,T}>0\) denotes a suitable positive real number which changes from line to line, let \(x\in D({\mathbb {R}}^{+},H)\) and \(t\in[0,T]\), define
Theorem 3.4
There exists a constant \(C_{K,T,\alpha}\) such that for any \(({\mathbb {F}}_{t})\)-stopping time τ
Proof
From (3.4), we have
By Definition 2.1, we have
Using this relation, together with Assumption 3.2 and Assumption 3.3, we obtain
Using Lemma 2.3, Assumption 3.2 and Definition 2.1 yields
Moreover, from Lemma 2.4, it follows that
Taking (3.6), (3.7) and (3.8) into (3.5), we have
Let \(T>0\), and define
here \(\xi_{s}\) is jointly measurable and \({\mathbb {F}}_{t}\)-adapted. It follows from Theorem 3.4 that the map
is well defined, where \(I(\cdot, x)\) is defined in Eq. (3.4). □
Theorem 3.5
The map \(I: \mathcal {H}_{2}^{T}\longrightarrow \mathcal {H}_{2}^{T}\) is continuous, and assume that Assumption 3.3 is satisfied. Then there exists a constant \(C_{K,T,\alpha}\), depending on K, T and α, such that
Proof
By using (3.4), we have
so that
By Assumption 3.3, we have
From Lemma 2.3, Assumption 3.1 and Assumption 3.3, we obtain
Similarly, we get
Taking (3.12), (3.13) and (3.14) into (3.11), we have proved Theorem 3.5. □
Theorem 3.6
Let \(T>0\), \(x_{0}\in H\) and suppose that Assumption 3.1, Assumption 3.2 and Assumption 3.3 are satisfied. Then there exists a unique mild solution \(X(t)=(x_{s})_{s\in[0,T]}\) in \(\mathcal {H}_{2}^{T}\) satisfying
Proof
Let \(X^{0}_{s}=S_{s}(x_{0})\) P-almost surely, and \(X^{n+1}_{s}:=I(s, X^{n}_{s})\). Then from Eq. (3.4) it follows that \((X^{n+1}_{s})_{s\in[0,T]}\) is \({\mathbb {F}}_{t}\)-adapted. Let
Thus, by (3.16), Theorem 3.4 and the definition of \(X^{0}_{s}=S_{s}(x_{0})\), it follows that
Since
Then from inequalities (3.17) and (3.18), there exists a constant L, depending on α, t and \(x_{0}\), such that
Similarly, combining inequality (3.19) and Theorem 3.5, by mathematical induction, we have
It is easy to see that
is convergent, so that \(\{z^{n}_{t}\}\) is a Cauchy sequence in \(\mathcal {H}_{2}^{T}\). Then, by the Chebyshev inequality and (3.20), we have
By the Borel-Cantelli lemma, we get that P-almost surely there exists \(k_{0}\in {\mathbb {N}}\) such that
Define
Then \(X^{k}_{s}\) converges P-almost surely uniformly on \([0, T]\). Let
Since \(\{X^{k}_{s}(\omega)\}_{t\in[0,T]}\) are càdlàg, and the limit is in sup norm, therefore \(X_{s}(\omega)\) is càdlàg and \({\mathbb {F}}_{t}\)-measurable, \(X_{s}(\omega)\in D([0,T],H)\). Moreover,
By the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality, it follows that
According to (3.22), we see that \(\sum_{k=n}^{\infty}\sup_{0\leqslant s\leqslant t}\lVert X^{k+1}_{s}-X^{k}_{s}\rVert^{2}k^{2}\) is convergent, together with (3.20) this implies
Therefore, we obtain that
and \(X_{s}\in \mathcal {H}_{2}^{T}\). From Theorem 3.5 it follows that \(X_{s}\) is a mild solution to Eq. (3.15).
Next, we prove the uniqueness of Eq. (3.15). Suppose that \(X_{s}\) and \(\overline{X}_{s}\) are two solutions of (3.15). Let
Then, similarly as for (3.20), it follows that
as \(n\to+\infty\). Hence \(G(t)\equiv0\), which completes the proof of the theorem. □
Remark 3.7
In a special case, when \(h\equiv0\), Eq. (1.1) reduces to
which was studied in [11].
4 Examples
Example 4.1
Let \(H=L^{2}(0,\pi)\) and \(e_{n}:=\sqrt{\frac{2}{\pi}}\sin (nx)\), \(n=1,2,\ldots\) . Then \(\{e_{n}\}\) is a complete orthonormal basis in H. Let \(W_{t}:=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\sqrt{\lambda_{n}}\beta_{n}(t) e_{n}\), \(\lambda_{n}>0\), where \(\{\beta_{n}(t)\}\) are one-dimensional standard Brownian motions mutually independent on a usual complete probability space. Let \(\nu(\Lambda)\) be a σ-finite stationary Poisson point process on H with \(\widetilde{N}(t,\Lambda)=N(t,\Lambda)-t\nu(\Lambda)\). Define the operator \(Q :H \longrightarrow H\) by setting \(Q e_{n}=\lambda_{n} e_{n}\) (\({n=1,2,3,\ldots}\)) and assume that \(\operatorname{tr}(Q)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\lambda_{n}<+\infty\). Let \(T:=\frac{\partial ^{2}}{\partial x^{2}}\) with the domain \(D(T)=H_{0}^{1}(0,\pi )\cap H^{2}(0,\pi)\).
Consider the following stochastic evolution equation:
where \(T:=\frac{\partial ^{2}}{\partial x^{2}}\), \(A(t,X_{t})=\lambda X_{t}\), \(g(t,X_{t})=X_{t}\), \(h(t, u, X_{t})=X_{t}\). We can verify that T is an infinitesimal generator of the bounded linear operator \(S(t):H\to H\). It holds that \({\lVert S(t)\rVert\leq e^{-t}}\), \(t\geq0\), and Assumption 3.1, Assumption 3.2, Assumption 3.3 are satisfied. Therefore by Theorem 3.6, Eq. (4.1) has a unique solution.
5 Conclusions
In this paper, we consider a class of stochastic differential equations driven by Brownian motion and Lévy noises in real separable Hilbert spaces. Sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness are derived. The conditions, under which the coefficients satisfy linear growth condition, are formulated and proved.
There are two direct issues which require further study. First, we will investigate the exponential stability of mild solutions for NSDEs in Hilbert spaces. Second, we will devote our efforts to the study of the mean-square stability and the asymptotic mean-square stability of NSDEs driven by the cylindrical Brownian motion and Lévy noises.
