Lévy driven CARMA generalized processes and stochastic partial differential equations

Abstract

We give a new definition of a Lévy driven CARMA random field, defining it as a generalized solution of a stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE). Furthermore, we give sufficient conditions for the existence of a mild solution of our SPDE. Our model finds a connection between all known definitions of CARMA random fields, and especially for dimension 1 we obtain the classical CARMA process.
