Global in time solutions to stochastic reaction-diffusion systems with superlinear reactions satisfying a triangular control of mass

Abstract

We study systems of reaction-diffusion equations perturbed by multiplicative noise, where the reaction terms satisfy quasipositivity, a triangular mass-control structure, and polynomial growth. Our results apply to a broad class of reaction-diffusion systems arising, most notably, in chemistry and biology. In the deterministic setting these assumptions are known to guarantee the global existence of solutions. In the stochastic setting, however, reaction-diffusion systems have typically been analyzed under different assumptions on the reactions that preclude many natural models, such as reversible chemical reaction networks modeled by the mass-action law, and the question of global existence and uniqueness under a mass-control structure has remained open. In this work, we show that stochastically perturbing reaction-diffusion systems with triangular control of mass by suitable multiplicative noise leads to solutions that exist for all time.
