Abstract

We show that a large class of stochastic heat equations can be approximated by systems of interacting stochastic differential equations. As a consequence, we prove various comparison principles extending earlier results. Among other things, our results enable us to obtain sharp estimates on the moments of the solution. A main technical ingredient of our method is a local limit theorem which is of independent interest.
