There are two different approaches for the construction of stochastic solutions: MacKean's and superprocesses. However, when restricted to measures, superprocesses can only be used to generate solutions for a limited class of nonlinear PDE's. A new class of superprocesses, namely superprocesses on signed measures and on distributions, is proposed to extend the stochastic solution approach to a wider class of PDE's.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-09-14T17:18:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "nonlinear pdes", "superprocesses", "stochastic solution approach", "local non-grid nature", "generate solutions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1209.3263V" } } }
