Abstract. We give a short introduction to the white noise theory for multiparameter Lévy processes and its application to stochastic partial differential equations driven by such processes. Examples include temperature distribution with a Lévy white noise heat source, and heat propagation with a multiplicative Lévy white noise heat source.
Introduction. The white noise theory was originally developed by T. Hida for Brownian motion {B(t)} t≥0. See e.g. [7] and [8] and the references therein. The main idea was that a rigorous mathematical foundation for the time derivative of B(t),
