Normal approximation of the solution to the stochastic heat equation with Levy noise
Given a sequence L & x2d9;epsilon of Levy noises, we derive necessary and sufficient conditions in terms of their variances sigma 2(epsilon) such that the solution to the stochastic heat equation with noise sigma(epsilon)-1L & x2d9;epsilon converges in law to the solution to the same equation with Gaussian noise. Our results apply to both equations with additive and multiplicative noise and hence lift the findings of Asmussen and Rosinski (J Appl Probab 38(2):482-493, 2001), Cohen and Rosinski (Bernoulli 13(1):195-210, 2007) for finite-dimensional Levy processes to the infinite-dimensional setting without making distributional assumptions on the solutions such as infinite divisibility. One important ingredient of our proof is to characterize the solution to the limit equation by a sequence of martingale problems. To this end, it is crucial to view the solution processes both as random fields and as cadlag processes with values in a Sobolev space of negative real order.
