Abstract

Let X = {X(x, t), x ∈ ℝn, t ∈ R+} be the R2-valued spatial-temporal random field X = (u, v) arising from a certain two-equation system of parabolic linear partial differential equations with a given random initial condition X0 = (u0, v0). We discuss the scaling limit of X under suitable conditions on X0. Since the component fields u, v are dependent, even when the initial data u0, v0 are independent, the scaling limit is not readily reduced to the known single equation case. The correlated structure of random vector (u(x, t), v(x′, t′)) and the Hermite expansion associated with (u0, v0) play the essential roles in our study. The work shows, in particular, the non-Gaussian scenario proposed by Anh and Leonenko [2] for the single heat equation can be discussed for the two-equation system, in a significant way.
