TL;DR
The paper analyzes fractional SPDEs on bounded domains driven by Lévy noise and Brownian motion, formulating a nonlocal model with the fractional Laplacian and nonlinearities. It develops a comprehensive framework proving well-posedness, weak mean random attractors, invariant measures with ergodicity, and a large deviation principle via a variational representation for Poisson and Brownian inputs, with a concrete Chafee–Infante example illustrating the results. The contributions advance the theory of nonlocal stochastic dynamics with jumps, providing rigorous long-time behavior results and a principled LDP methodology for infinite-dimensional systems. The work combines energy methods, compactness arguments, and variational large-deviation techniques to link stochastic dynamics, attractors, invariant measures, and rare-event analysis in fractional SPDEs.
Abstract
This paper is mainly concerned with a kind of fractional stochastic evolution equations driven by Lévy noise in a bounded domain. We first state the well-posedness of the problem via iterative approximations and energy estimates. Then, the existence and uniqueness of weak pullback mean random attractors for the equations {are} established by defining a mean random dynamical system. Next, we prove the existence of invariant measures when the problem is autonomous by means of the fact that $H^γ(\mathcal{O})$ is compactly embedded in $L^2(\mathcal{O})$ with $γ\in (0,1)$. Moreover, the uniqueness of this invariant measure is presented which ensures the ergodicity of the problem. Finally, a large deviation principle result for solutions of SPDEs perturbed by small Lévy noise and Brownian motion is obtained by a variational formula for positive functionals of a Poisson random measure and Brownian motion. Additionally, the results are illustrated by the fractional stochastic Chafee-Infante equations
