On well-posedness of semilinear stochastic evolution equations on $L_p$ spaces

Abstract

We establish well-posedness in the mild sense for a class of stochastic semilinear evolution equations on $L_p$ spaces, driven by multiplicative Wiener noise, with a drift term given by an evaluation operator that is assumed to be quasi-monotone and polynomially growing, but not necessarily continuous. In particular, we consider a notion of mild solution ensuring that the evaluation operator applied to the solution is still function-valued, but satisfies only minimal integrability conditions. The proofs rely on stochastic calculus in Banach spaces, monotonicity and convexity techniques, and weak compactness in $L_1$ spaces.
