Assuming the existence of a Lyapunov function, we prove the existence of a stationary solution assuming only minimal continuity of the coefficients. Uniqueness of the stationary solution is proven if the dependence on the past decays sufficiently fast. The results of this paper are then applied to stochastically forced dissipative partial differential equations such as the stochastic Navier-Stokes equation and stochastic Ginsburg-Landau equation. © World Scientific Publishing Company.Science & TechnologyPhysical SciencesMathematics, AppliedMathematicsstochastic differential equationsmemoryLyapunov functionsergodicitystationary solutionsstochastic Navier-Stokes equationstochastic Ginsburg-Landau equationNAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONSFORCED NONLINEAR PDESCOUPLING APPROACHERGODICITYDYNAMICSJournal article2022-04-01
