Local pathwise solutions and regularization by noises for the stochastic hyperbolic Keller-Segel equation
Tengyu Li, Lei Zhang
TL;DR
The paper analyzes the stochastic hyperbolic Keller-Segel equation on $\mathbb{T}^d$ with multiplicative noise, establishing local pathwise well-posedness in $H^s(\mathbb{T}^d)$ for $s>\frac{d}{2}+1$, under growth and Lipschitz assumptions on the noise. It then proves two noise-induced regularization phenomena: (i) nonlinear multiplicative noise with suitable intensity thresholds yields global pathwise solutions for large initial data (a.a.); (ii) linear multiplicative noise provides global existence with high probability for small initial data. The approach combines Galerkin approximations with cutoffs, rigorous a priori estimates, tightness arguments, Skorokhod embedding, and energy-type analyses (including logarithmic functionals) to pass to global pathwise solutions. These results demonstrate that stochastic perturbations can regularize a hyperbolic chemotaxis system, extending global well-posedness beyond the deterministic regime and offering insight into the interplay between noise structure and nonlinear nonlocalities in SHKS. The findings have significance for the mathematical understanding of stochastic chemotaxis models and their potential applications in modeling noisy biological environments.
Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the Cauchy problem associated with the stochastic hyperbolic Keller-Segel (SHKS) equation featuring multiplicative noises on the torus $\mathbb{T}^d$. First, we establish the local existence and uniqueness of pathwise solutions to the SHKS equation within Sobolev spaces $H^s(\mathbb{T}^d)$ for $s>\frac{d}{2}+1$, under appropriate regularity conditions imposed on the nonlinear multiplicative noises. Subsequently, we explore two global results pertaining to noise-induced regularization: (1) The first result demonstrates that for polynomial-type nonlinear noises, when the noise intensity parameters meet specific threshold conditions, the SHKS equation possesses a unique pathwise solution for large initial data with probability one. This finding provides a partial answer to a question that has remained unresolved in the deterministic setting; (2) The second result reveals that, for small initial data, or equivalently when dealing with linear multiplicative noises with sufficiently large intensity (allowed to be negative), the SHKS equation admits a unique pathwise solution with high probability.
