Ergodicity for the stochastic Complex Ginzburg-Landau equations

Abstract

We study a stochastic complex Ginzburg--Landau (CGL) equation driven by a smooth noise in space and we establish exponential convergence of the Markovian transition semi-group toward a unique invariant probability measure. Since Doob Theorem does not seem not to be useful in our situation, a coupling method is used. In order to make this method easier to understand, we first focus on two simple examples which contain most of the arguments and the essential difficulties.
