Abstract

First, we prove existence, nonnegativity, and pathwise uniqueness of martingale solutions to stochastic porous-medium equations driven by conservative multiplicative power-law noise in the Ito-sense. We rely on an energy approach based on finite-element discretization in space, homogeneity arguments and stochastic compactness. Secondly, we use Monte-Carlo simulations to investigate the impact noise has on waiting times and on free-boundary propagation. We find strong evidence that noise on average significantly accelerates propagation and reduces the size of waiting times – changing in particular scaling laws for the size of waiting times.
