Averaging principle for the one-dimensional parabolic equation driven by stochastic measure
A stochastic parabolic equation on $[0,T]\times \mathbb{R}$ driven by a general stochastic measure is considered. The averaging principle for the equation is established. The convergence rate is compared with other results on related topics.

Asymptotic properties of the parabolic equation driven by stochastic measure
A stochastic parabolic equation on $[0,T]\times \mathbb{R}$ driven by a general stochastic measure, for which we assume only σ-additivity in probability, is considered. The asymptotic behavior of its solution as $t\to \infty $ is studied.
