Abstract

The two dimensional stochastic Euler equations (EE) perturbed by a linear multiplicative noise of It\^o type on the bounded domain $\mathcal{O}$ have been considered in this work. Our first aim is to prove the existence of \textsl{global weak (analytic) solutions} for stochastic EE when the divergence free initial data $\boldsymbol{u}^*\in\mathbb{H}^1(\mathcal{O})$, and the external forcing $\boldsymbol{f}\in\mathrm{L}^2_{\mathrm{loc}}(\mathbb{R};\mathbb{H}^1(\mathcal{O}))$. In order to prove the existence of weak solutions, a vanishing viscosity technique has been adopted. In addition, if $\mathrm{curl}\ \boldsymbol{u}^*\in\mathrm{L}^{\infty}(\mathcal{O})$ and $\mathrm{curl}\ \boldsymbol{f}\in\mathrm{L}^{\infty}_{\mathrm{loc}}(\mathbb{R};\mathrm{L}^{\infty}(\mathcal{O}))$, we establish that the global weak (analytic) solution is unique. This work appears to be the first one to discuss the existence and uniqueness of global weak (analytic) solutions for stochastic EE driven by linear multiplicative noise. Secondly, we prove the existence of a \textsl{pullback stochastic weak attractor} for stochastic \textsl{non-autonomous} EE using the abstract theory available in the literature. Finally, we propose an abstract theory for \textsl{weak asymptotic autonomy} of pullback stochastic weak attractors. Then we consider the 2D stochastic EE perturbed by a linear multiplicative noise as an example to discuss that how to prove the weak asymptotic autonomy for concrete stochastic partial differential equations. As EE do not contain any dissipative term, the results on attractors (deterministic and stochastic) are available in the literature for dissipative (or damped) EE only. Since we are considering stochastic EE without dissipation, all the results of this work for 2D stochastic EE perturbed by a linear multiplicative noise are totally new.
