Abstract

The non-parametric estimation of a non-linear reaction function in a reaction-diffusion stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE) is discussed. The estimation error can be bounded in terms of the diffusivity and the noise level, which obey a realistic coupling and tend to zero. The estimator achieves the minimax-optimal convergence rate and exhibits asymptotic normality due to the spatial ergodicity of the SPDE. Analysing the estimation error requires the control of spatial averages of non-linear transformations of the SPDE, and combines the Clark-Ocone formula from Malliavin calculus with the Markovianity of the SPDE. In contrast to previous results, the obtained variance bound is uniform in the Lipschitz-constant of the transformation.
