Fluctuation Correction and Global Solutions for the Stochastic Shigesada-Kawasaki-Teramoto System via Entropy-Based Regularization

Florian Huber

TL;DR

This work develops a fluctuation-corrected stochastic Shigesada-Kawasaki-Teramoto (SKT) system for $n$ species by incorporating a particle-derived noise term with a detailed Ito-Stratonovich correction. A central contribution is a regularization scheme based on the system’s entropy structure, enabling global nonnegative martingale solutions to the SPDE with component-wise mobility noise. The authors establish uniform entropy and energy bounds, prove tightness and convergence of approximate solutions, and rigorously derive the fluctuation correction term from the underlying particle dynamics. The result provides a rigorous link between fluctuating hydrodynamics and cross-diffusion population dynamics, with a robust existence theory for the stochastic SKT system under a detailed-balance framework. The techniques are grounded in entropy methods, regularization of entropy variables, and probabilistic compactness, offering a template for analyzing multi-species stochastic cross-diffusion models with fluctuation effects.

Abstract

We derive a noise term to account for fluctuation corrections based on the particle system approximation for the n-species Shigesada-Kawasaki-Teramoto (SKT) system. For the resulting system of stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs), we establish the existence of nonnegative, global, weak martingale solutions. Our approach utilizes the regularization technique, which is grounded in the entropy structure of the system.

Key Result

Theorem 1

Let the assumptions imposed in chen_holzinger_2021_rigorous_SKT hold and $s>\frac{3d}{2}+1$, then the martingale term in the equation governing the fluctuations process will be an $\left(W^{s,2}({\mathbb R}^{d})\right)^{*}$ valued martingale satisfying for $\varphi,\psi\in W^{s,2}({\mathbb R}^{d})$, where $u=(u_{1},\dots,u_{n})$ is a solution of the mean field equation on ${\mathbb R}^{d}$.
