Using the moment formulas obtained in [9, 10], we identify a set of conditions on the initial data, the correlation measure and the weight function $\\rho$, which will together guarantee the existence of an invariant measure in the weighted space $L^2_\\rho(\\mathbb{R}^d)$. In particular, our result includes the parabolic Anderson model (i.e., the case when $b(u) = \\lambda u$) starting from the Dirac delta measure.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-09-11T02:59:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60H15", "60H07", "60F05" ], "keywords": [ "nonlinear stochastic heat equation", "invariant measure", "drift term", "long term behavior", "parabolic anderson model" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 29, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
