VECTOR-VALUED STOCHASTIC DELAY EQUATIONS - A WEAK SOLUTION AND ITS MARKOVIAN REPRESENTATION MARIUSZGO´RAJSKI 3 1 Abstract. A class of stochastic delay equations in Banach space E driven by cylindrical Wiener 0 process is studied. We investigate two concepts of solutions: weak and generalised strong, and 2 give conditions under which they are equivalent. We present an evolution equation approach in a n Banach space Ep := E×Lp(−1,0;E) proving that the solutions can be reformulated as Ep-valued a Markov processes. Based on the Markovian representation we prove the existence and continuity J of the solutions. The results are applied to stochastic delay partial differential equations with an applicationtoneutral networksandpopulationdynamics. 2 2 ] AMS 2000 subject classification: 34K50, 60H15, 60H30, 47D06 R P 1.

We use the evolutionequationapproachto the delay equationas givenin the monographof Batkai and Piazzera [3]. Thus, one can define a closed operator on by p A E D( )= [x,f]′ D(B) W1,p( 1,0;E) : f(0)=x ; A { ∈ × − } B Φ (1) = . A 0 d (cid:20) dθ (cid:21) Under assumptions (H1)-(H2) generates a C -semigroup ( (t)) on (see [3], Theorem 3.29). 0 t≥0 p A T E Hence we can consider the following stochastic Cauchy problem corresponding to (SDE): dY(t)= Y(t)dt+F(Y(t))dt+G(Y(t))dW (t), t 0; (SDCP) A H ≥ Y(0)=[x ,f ]′, 0 0 (cid:26) where (2) F(Y(t)):=[φ(Y(t)),0]′, G(Y(t)):=[ψ(Y(t)),0]′. Recall the classical result [7], where equivalence of solutions to the stochastic delay equation and the corresponding abstract Cauchy problem has been shown by Chojnowska-Michalik for p = 2 and E finite-dimensional. For a general class of spaces including the spaces the variation of constants p E formula for finite-dimensional delay equations with additive noise and a bounded delay operator is discussed in Riedle [23]. For more references see [9]. We complement and extend result from [9] concerning existence and uniqueness of solution to (SDE) by adding non-linear part and introducing weak concept of solution to (SDE). The line of thought we take is to prove existence and continuity of a weak solution to the stochastic Cauchy problem (SDCP) and then using the equivalence between weaksolutionsto(SDCP)and(SDE)weobtaincorrespondingresultsforthestochasticdelayequation (SDE). Alargeclassofstochasticpartialdifferentialequations(stochasticPDEs)withdelaycanberewritten as stochastic ordinary equations with delay (SDE) in infinite dimensional space E. Moreover, PDEs with delay are used in modelling phenomena inter alia in bioscience (see [2], [5] and [18]) or in neural networks (see [20]). For some stochastic PDEs with delay e.g. stochastic delay reaction-diffusion equationswithnon-linearitiesgivenbytheNiemyckioperator(seeSection3.3Examples)ageneralized strong solution may not exist, whereas one can prove the existence and uniqueness of weak solution. In the Da Prato and Zabczyk monograph [10] an extensive treatment of the stochastic Cauchy problem in Hilbert spaces is given. In the Banach space framework stochastic Cauchy problem has beenconsideredbyBrze´zniak[6]andVanNeerven,VeraarandWeis[28]. Theybothconsiderthecase that generates an analytic semigroup. A Following the semigroup approach let us consider the following variation of constants formula: t t (3) Y(t)= (t)Y(0)+ (t s)F(Y(s))ds+ (t s)G(Y(s))dW (s), H T T − T − Z0 Z0 where the precise definition of the stochastic integral above and the relevant theory on vector-valued stochastic integrals can be found in [28]. A process satisfying (3) is usually referred to as a mild VECTOR-VALUED STOCHASTIC DELAY EQUATIONS 3 solution. The existence of a mild solution to (SDCP) is proved by the Banach fixed-point theorem in Section 3 (Theorem 3.7). In Theorems 3.2 and 3.6 we show that a mild solution of (SDCP) is equivalent to a weak solution of (SDCP) and under some additional assumption they are equivalent to generalized strong solution of (SDCP). Finally,usingthese theoremsinTheorem3.9westatethatweaksolutionsto (SDCP)and (SDE) areequivalent. Combining allthese results we obtainexistence andcontinuityof weaksolution of (SDE) (see Corollaries 3.12 and 3.13). The correspondence between strong, weak and mild concept of solution to stochastic linear delay equations in Hilbert space has been considered by Liu using the properties of the Green operator in [19]. Theequivalenceofsolutionsto(SDE)andto(SDCP)isusefulbecausethelatterisaMarkovprocess and can be studied in the framework of the stochastic abstract Cauchy problem; and one can answer questions concerning e.g. invariant measures of the solutions to (SDE) (see [8] and [4] and reference therein), Feller property (see [22]) and regularity of solutions (see Corollary 3.13 and [28]). 2. The Stochastic Cauchy Problem In the introduction we have mentioned that the stochastic delay equation (SDE) can be rewritten as a stochastic Cauchy problem. In this section we recall the result concerning different concept of solution to (SCP) form [16]. Let E be a Banach space and H be a separable Hilbert space, and let A : D(A) E E be the generator of a C -semigroup (T(t)) on E. The sun dual semigroup 0 t≥0 ⊂ → (T⊙(t)) defined as subspace semigroup by T⊙(t) = T∗(t) defined on E⊙ = D(A∗) is strongly t≥0 |E⊙ continuous (see Section 2.6 in [14] and Chapter 1 in [24]). A generator (A⊙,D(A⊙)) of the sun dual semigroup is given by A⊙ =A∗ and D(A⊙)= x∗ D(A∗):A∗x∗ E⊙ . |E⊙ { ∈ ∈ } LetW be anH-cylindricalBrownianmotionandfollowingthe monographofPeszatandZabczyk H (see Section 9.2 and Remark 9.3 in [21]) let F :D(F) E E and G:D(G) E (H,E) satisfy ⊂ → ⊂ →L the following conditions: (HA) D(F) is dense in E and there exists a L1 (0, ) such that for all t > 0 and x,y D(F) ∈ loc ∞ ∈ we have T(t)F(x) a(t)(1+ x ), E E k k ≤ k k T(t)(F(x) F(y)) a(t) x y , E E k − k ≤ k − k (HB) D(G) is dense in E and there exists b L2 (0, ) such that for all t > 0 and x,y D(G) ∈ loc ∞ ∈ we have T(t)G(x) b(t)(1+ x ), γ(H,E) E k k ≤ k k T(t)(G(x) G(y)) b(t) x y . γ(H,E) E k − k ≤ k − k Let us consider the following stochastic Cauchy problem in E: dY(t) =AY(t)dt+F(Y(t))dt+G(Y(t))dW (t), t 0; (SCP) H ≥ Y(0) =Y . 0 (cid:26) Definition 2.1. An H-strongly measurable adapted process Y is called a weak solution to (SCP) if Y is a.s. (almost surely) locally Bochner integrable and for all t>0 and all x∗ D(A⊙): ∈ (i) F(Y),x∗ is integrable on [0,t] a.s.; h i (ii) G∗(Y)x∗ is stochastically integrable on [0,t]; 4 MARIUSZGO´RAJSKI (iii) for almost all ω t t t Y(t) Y ,x∗ = Y(s),A⊙x∗ ds+ F(Y(s)),x∗ ds+ G∗(Y(s))x∗dW (s). 0 H h − i h i h i Z0 Z0 Z0 In the next theorem we need stochastic integral for (H,E)-valued process (for a definition and L the following characterisationsee [27]). Recall that umd property stands for Unconditional Martigale DifferencepropertyanditsaysthatallLp(Ω;E)-convergence,E-valuedsequenceofmartingledifference are unconditionally convergent (see [15] and [27]). It turns out that for a Banach space with umd property we may characterise stochastic integrability in terms of γ-radonifying norm. More precisely a H-strongly measurable adapted process Ψ : [0,t] Ω (H,E) is stochastically integrable with × → L respect to cylindrical Wiener process W if and only if Ψ represents γ(L2(0,t;H);E)-valued random H variable R given by Ψ t (4) R f,x∗ = Ψ(s)f(s),x∗ ds a.s, Ψ h i h i Z0 for every f L2(0,t;H) and for all x∗ E∗. In this situation one has also the following Burkh¨older- ∈ ∈ Gundy-Davies type inequalities : s (5) E sup Ψ(u)dW p h E R p k HkE p k ψkγ(L2(0,t;H),E) s∈[0,t] Z0 forallp>01.

Φ In [15] Garling has characterisedumd property in terms of two properties: umd− and umd+. Definition 2.2. A Banachspace E has umd− property,if for all 1<p< there exists β− >0 such ∞ p that for all E-valued sequence of Lp-martingle difference (d )N and for all Rademacher sequence n n=1 (r )N independent from (d )N we have the following inequality: n n=1 n n=1 p p N N (umd−) E d β−E r d . (cid:13) n(cid:13) ≤ p (cid:13) n n(cid:13) (cid:13)nX=1 (cid:13)E (cid:13)nX=1 (cid:13)E (cid:13) (cid:13) (cid:13) (cid:13) A Banach space E has umd+ pro(cid:13)perty, if(cid:13)the reverse(cid:13)inequalit(cid:13)y to (umd−) holds. Recall that class (cid:13) (cid:13) (cid:13) (cid:13) of umd Banach spaces is in class of reflexive spaces and includes Hilbert spaces and Lp spaces for p (1, ). Moreover,class of umd− Banach spaces includes also non-reflexive L1 spaces. ∈ ∞ To integrate processes with values in L1 one needs a weakened notion of stochastic integral. In a BanachspaceE withumd− propertythefollowingcondition: Ψisinγ(L2(0,t;H),E)a.s. issufficient for stochastic integrability of Ψ (cf. [27] and [28]). Theorem 2.3 ([16]). Assume that E has umd− property and conditions (HA) and (HB) are satisfied. Let Y be an E-valued H-strongly measurable adapted process with almost all locally Bochner square integrable trajectories.

Then Y is a weak solution to (SCP) if and only if Y is a mild solution to (SCP) i.e. Y satisfies, for all t 0, ≥ t t (7) Y(t)=T(t)Y + T(t s)F(Y(s))ds+ T(t s)G(Y(s))dW (s) a.s. 0 H − − Z0 Z0 Remark 2.4. Fix x∗ D(A∗). Let Y be a E-valued, strongly measurable adapted process with almost ∈ all locally Bochner square integrable trajectories. Then we have the following: (i) condition (HA) implies that E x F(x),x∗ R is a Lipschitz function by Lemma 2.3 in ∋ 7→h i∈ [16]. (ii) if (HB) holds then Lemma 2.3 in [16] implies that the function E x G∗(x)x∗ H is ∋ 7→ ∈ Lipschitz-continuous. Hence the process G∗(Y)x∗ is strongly measurable adapted with almost all locally square integrable trajectories. In particular, G∗(Y)x∗ is stochastically integrable on [0,t] for all t>0. (iii) by (HA) and (HB) the functions E x T(s)F(x) E, E x T(s)G(x) γ(H,E) are ∋ 7→ ∈ ∋ 7→ ∈ continuous. Hence processes T(t )F(Y()), T(t )G(Y()) are adapted, strongly and H- −· · −· · strongly measurable, respectively, and T(t )F(Y()) has trajectories locally Bochner square −· · integrable a.s. (iv) since process in (6) represent element from γ(L2(0,t;H),E) a.s. and E has umd− property, stochastic integral in (7) is well defined. A generalisedstrong solutionto (SCP) is defined and its equivalence to a mild solution of (SCP) is proven in [9]. Definition 2.5. A strongly measurable adapted process Y is called a generalized strong solution to (SCP) if Y is, almost surely, locally Bochner integrable and for all t>0: t (i) Y(s)ds D(A) a.s., 0 ∈ (ii) F(Y) is Bochner integrable in [0,t] a.s., R (iii) G(Y) is stochastically integrable on [0,t], and t t t Y(t) Y =A Y(s)ds+ F(Y(s))ds+ G(Y(s))dW (s) a.s. 0 H − Z0 Z0 Z0 Theequivalenceofmild,weakandgeneralisedstrongsolutionto(SCP)hasbeenestablishedin[16]. First we recall the hypotheses (HA’) Assume that (HA) is satisfied and for all t > 0 and all g L1(0,t;E) the function F(g) is ∈ Bochner integrable on [0,t]. If F is a Lipschitz function then (HA’) is satisfied. Theorem 2.6([16]). Assumethat E has umd− propertyandconditions (HA’)and(HB) aresatisfied. Let Y be an E-valued H-strongly measurable adapted process with locally Bochner square integrable trajectories a.s. If for all t>0 the processes: t−u (8) u G(Y(u)), u T(t u)G(Y(u)), u T(s)G(Y(u,ω))ds 7→ 7→ − 7→ Z0 are in γ(0,t;H,E) a.s. Then the following condition are equivalent: (i) Y is a generalised strong solution of (SCP). (ii) Y is a weak solution of (SCP). (iii) Y is a mild solution of (SCP). 6 MARIUSZGO´RAJSKI 3.

We now turn to the stochastic delay equation (SDE) as presented in the introduction and to the related stochastic Cauchy problem (SDCP) on page 2. We assume (H1)-(H2). Then, the operator (cf.

The first result concerning stochas- tic Cauchy problem for delay equation (SDCP) says that its weak solutions and mild solutions are equivalent. Theorem 3.2. Let E be a type 2 umd− Banach space and let p [1, ). Assume that (H1) and ∈ ∞ (H3)-(H4) hold and that one of the following is satisfied: (a) Φ (Lp( 1,0;E),E); ∈L − (b) (H2) holds and either H has a finite dimension or E is a Hilbert space. Let us consider (SDCP); i.e. let defined by (1) be the generator of the C -semigroup ( (t)) on 0 t≥0 A T =E Lp( 1,0;E). LetF : andG: (H, )begivenby (2). LetY :[0, ) Ω p p p p p p E × − E →E E →L E ∞ × →E be a strongly measurable, adapted process satisfying 3 (22) sup E Y(s) 2 < for all t>0. k kEp ∞ s∈[0,t] Then Y is a weak solution to (SDCP) if and only if Y is a solution to: x t t (23) Y(t)= (t) 0 + (t s)F(Y(s))ds+ (t s)G(Y(s))dW (s), T (cid:20) f0 (cid:21) Z0 T − Z0 T − H a.s. for all t 0. ≥ Proof. Let Y : [0, ) Ω be a strongly measurable, adapted process satisfying (22). We p ∞ × → E apply Theorem 2.3 to obtain the above assertion. Thus we need to check conditions (HA) and (HB) with F and G defined by (2), and that the processes given by (6) in that theorem is an element of γ(L2(0,t;H), ) a.s. for all t>0. Let t>0 be fixed. p E First let us notice that if Φ (Lp( 1,0;E),E) or (H2) holds, E is a Hilbert space, then by ∈ L − Lemma 3.1.(iii) or Lemma 3.1.(ii), respectively, conditions (HA) i (HB) from Theorem 2.3 hold. If H is a finite dimensional space, then γ(H,E) is isomorphic with (H,E). Hence by Lemma 3.1.(i) it follows that conditions (HA) i (HB) from Theorem 2.3 are satiLsfied. Since Y SL2(0,t; ) for all ∈ F Ep t>0,inparticularY has,almostsurely,trajectoriessquareintegrable. Itisenoughtocheckcondition (6) in Theorem 2.3. In the proof we use the following inequality: (24) C π + π , kGkγ(L2(0,t;H),Ep) ≤ k 1GkL2(0,t;γ(H,E)) k 2GkLp(−1,0;L2(0,t;γ(H,E))) (cid:16) (cid:17) whichholdsbyembedding (21)andbyγ-Fubiniisomorphismbetweenγ(L2(0,t,H),Lp( 1,0;E))and − Lp( 1,0;L2(0,t;γ(H,E))) (cf. Proposition 2.6 in [27]). − 3From now on we denote by SLqF(0,t;Ep) for some t > 0 and q ≥ 1 a Banach space of strongly measurable, adapted processY withthenormkYkSLqF(0,t;Ep)=sups∈[0,t](cid:16)EkY(s)kqEp(cid:17)q. 10 MARIUSZGO´RAJSKI By Lemma 3.1 we obtain 1 t 12 E u π (t u)G(Y(u)) 2 2 E ˜b2(t u)(1+ Y(u) )2du k 7→ 1T − kL2(0,t;γ(H,E)) ≤ − k kEp (cid:16) (cid:17) (cid:18) Z0 (cid:19) (25) ˜b (1+ Y )< . ≤ L2(0,t) k kSL2F(0,t;Ep) ∞ (cid:13) (cid:13) Next, by (9) and by Lemma 3.1 we see that for almost a(cid:13)ll(cid:13)ω (cid:13) (cid:13) (26) (θ,u) (π (t u)G(Y(u)))(θ) k 7→ 2T − kLp(−1,0;L2(0,t;γ(H,E))) 0 t+θ p2 p1 = π (t u+θ)G(Y(u)) 2 du dθ Z−1 Z0 k 1T − kγ(H,E) ! 0 t+θ 2 p2 p1 ˜b2(t u+θ) 1+ Y(u) du dθ ≤Z−1 Z0 − (cid:16) k kEp(cid:17) ! 1 t 0 p∨22 2 2 gp∨2(t u+θ)dθ 1+ Y(u) du , ≤ Z0 (cid:18)Z−1 − (cid:19) (cid:16) k kEp(cid:17) ! where g(u) = 1 ˜b(u),u R. In the last inequality in (26) if p 2 we apply Jensen’s inequality {u≥0} ∈ ≤ for integral with respect to θ and then Fubini’s theorem, and if p > 2 we use Minkowski’s integral inequality.
