Convergence of solutions of stochastic differential equations to the Arratia flow

  • Published:
Ukrainian Mathematical Journal Aims and scope

We consider the solution x ε of the equation

$$\begin{array}{*{20}c} {{dx_{{\text{ $ \varepsilon $ }}} {\left( {u,t} \right)} = {\int\limits_\mathbb{R} {{\rm{\varphi}} _{{\text{ $ \varepsilon $ }}} {\left( {x_{{\text{ $ \varepsilon $ }}} {\left( {u,t} \right)} - r} \right)}W{\left( {dr,dt} \right)},} }}} \\ {{x_{{\text{ $ \varepsilon $ }}} {\left( {u,0} \right)} = u,}} \\ \end{array} $$

where W is a Wiener sheet on \(\mathbb{R} \times {\left[ {0;1} \right]}\). In the case where φε 2 converges to pδ(⋅ −a 1) + qδ(⋅ −a 2), i.e., the limit function describing the influence of a random medium is singular at more than one point, we establish the weak convergence of (x ε (u 1,⋅), …, x ε (u d , ⋅)) as ε → 0+ to (X(u 1,⋅), …, X(u d , ⋅)), where X is the Arratia flow.
