Abstract
We study in some detail the structure of the random attractor for the Chafee-Infante reaction-diffusion equation perturbed by a multiplicative white noise,
du = (Deltau + betau - u(3)) dt + sigmau circle dW(t), x is an element of D subset of R-m.
First we prove., for m less than or equal to 5, a lower bound on the dimension of the random attractor, which is of the same order in beta as the upper bound we derived in an earlier paper. and is the same as that obtained in the deterministic case. Then we show, for m = 1. that as beta passes through lambda (1) (the first eigenvalue of the negative Laplacian) from below, the system undergoes a stochastic bifurcation of pitchfork type. We believe that this is the first example of such a stochastic bifurcation in an infinite-dimensional setting. Central to our approach is the existence of a random unstable manifold.
