We derive an inequality for the $L^1([0,1])$-norm of the difference between two solutions. Using some martingale arguments, we show that this inequality provides some {\\it a priori} estimates on solutions. This allows us to prove the strong existence and (partial) uniqueness of weak solutions when the initial condition belongs only to $L^1([0,1])$, and the stability of the solution with respect to this initial condition. We also obtain, under some conditions, some results concerning the large time behavior of solutions: uniqueness of the possible invariant distribution and asymptotic confluence of solutions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-07-06T13:56:44.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60H15" ], "keywords": [ "white-noise driven stochastic heat equation", "initial condition belongs", "large time behavior", "strong existence", "uniqueness" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1007.0896F" } } }
