Existence and uniqueness of global solutions to the stochastic heat equation with superlinear drift on an unbounded spatial domain

We prove the existence and uniqueness of global solutions to the semilinear stochastic heat equation on an unbounded spatial domain with forcing terms that grow superlinearly and satisfy an Osgood condition R 1/|f(u)|du = +∞ along with additional restrictions. For example, consider the forcing f(u) = u log(e e + |u|) log(log(e e + |u|)). A new dynamic weighting procedure is introduced to control the solutions, which are unbounded in space.Accepted manuscrip
