Degenerate parabolic stochastic partial differential equations: Quasilinear case

We study the Cauchy problem for a quasilinear degenerate parabolic stochastic partial differential equation driven by a cylindrical Wiener process. In particular, we adapt the notion of kinetic formulation and kinetic solution and develop a well-posedness theory that includes also an $L^1$-contraction property. In comparison to the first-order case (Debussche and Vovelle, 2010) and to the semilinear degenerate parabolic case (Hofmanova, 2013), the present result contains two new ingredients: a generalized Ito formula that permits a rigorous derivation of the kinetic formulation even in the case of weak solutions of certain nondegenerate approximations and a direct proof of strong convergence of these approximations to the desired kinetic solution of the degenerate problem.
