Fast Diffusion Limit for Reaction-Diffusion Systems with Stochastic Neumann Boundary Conditions

  • We consider a class of reaction-diffusion equations with a stochastic perturbation on the boundary. We show that in the limit of fast diffusion, one can rigorously approximate solutions of the system of PDEs with stochastic Neumann boundary conditions by the solution of a suitable stochastic/deterministic differential equation for the average concentration that involves reactions only. An interesting effect occurs, if the noise on the boundary does not change the averaging concentration, but is sufficiently large. Then surprising additional effective reaction terms appear. We focus on systems with polynomial nonlinearities only and give applications to the two dimensional nonlinear heat equation and the cubic auto-catalytic reaction between two chemicals.
