Stochastic partial differential equation
open-in-new
<p>Stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) generalize <a href="/facts/Partial_differential_equations/DyPsBlv7">partial differential equations</a> via random force terms and coefficients, in the same way ordinary <a href="/facts/Stochastic_differential_equations/ol9a9WNq">stochastic differential equations</a> generalize <a href="/facts/Ordinary_differential_equations/ygKGQ8kD">ordinary differential equations</a>. </p><p>They have relevance to <a href="/facts/Quantum_field_theory/VoewsNJV">quantum field theory</a>, <a href="/facts/Statistical_mechanics/6zMsNYYG">statistical mechanics</a>, and <a href="/facts/Spatial_analysis/R6rlDzRl">spatial modeling</a>. </p>
