A Smoluchowski-Kramers approximation for the stochastic variational wave equation

arXiv:2511.13567

Abstract

We investigate the Smoluchowski-Kramers approximation for the one-dimensional periodic variational wave equation with state-dependent damping and additive noise. We show that weak ``dissipative'' solutions converge to solutions of a stochastic quasilinear parabolic equation.
