What phenomena are better modelled by SDE instead of ODE?
Both stochastic differential equations (SDE) and ordinary differential equations (ODE) can be used to model a variety of different phenomena, whether physical or otherwise. Most deterministic ODE ...

General solution to system of stochastic linear differential equations
Assume we are given the system of linear stochastic differential equations
$$dx_i = \sum_{j=1}^n a_{ij}(t) \cdot x_j \cdot dt + \sum_{j=1}^n \sigma_{ij}(t) \cdot x_j \cdot dB_{ij,t} + b_j(t)\cdot dt+\...

Non-existence for a sort of probability measures
We suppose $X$ solves our SDE $dX_{t}=-X_{t}dt+dW_{t}$ for $t\geq0$ with initial condition $X_{0}=0$ w.r.t to our measure $P$ on $(\Omega,\mathcal{F})$.
$W_{t}$ is standard Wiener.
This solution is ...

Solutions to linear SDE with many noise sources
It is well known how to solve the linear stochastic ODEs with one source of noise
$$dX_t=(a(t)X_t+c(t))dt+(b(t)X_t+d(t))dW_t$$
See, for instance, https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1788853/...

Finding a stochastic differential equation as limit of a discrete stochastic equation
I'm dealing with the following problem:
Choose $Z_0 \in [0,1]$ and define a process governed by the following discrete stochastic equation:
$Z_{k+1}-Z_k=P_k(1-2Z_k)$
where $P_k=0$ with probability $...
