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 ...

Long list of exactly solvable nonlinear SDEs
In P. E. Kloeden & E. Platen (1995). Numerical Solution of Stochastic Differential Equations.
pg.118, they go over some special cases of nonlinear SDEs $dX_t=\alpha(t,X_t)\,dt+\sigma(t,X_t)\,dB_t$ ...

Existence of solution to SDE with perscribed initial and terminal conditions
The SDEs \begin{equation}
dZ_t = \mu(t,Z_t)dt + \sigma(t,Z_t)dW_t
\end{equation} with prescribed initial conditions are well studied. My question came up in my research and I have not found much on ...

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+\...

Can an SDE be made to follow the flow lines of a vector field?
Let $V: \mathbb R^n \to \mathbb R^n$ be a Lipschitz vector field. Consider a one dimensional Brownian motion $W$ and the SDE
$$dX_t = V(X_t) \, dW_t,$$
where we identify $V(X_t) \in \mathbb R^n$ with ...

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 ...

SDE with non-degenerate diffusion visits every point
I am asking an extension of the question here for SDEs of the Ito form.
Consider the SDE $dX_t =\sigma(X_t) dW_t$, where $W$ is a $d$-dimensional Brownian motion and $\sigma:\mathbb{R}^n\to \mathbb{R}...

Behaviour of solutions to $(A-r)f=0$ in the limit $r \to \infty$
Define the second order linear differential operator associated with $X$ (Here $X$ is the unique strong solution to appropriate Ito SDE) by $$A = \frac{1}{2} \sigma^2(x) \frac{d^2}{dx^2} + \mu(x) \...

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/...

Wong-Zakai smooth approximation in probabilty for stochastic differential equations
I'm looking for a result of the form: Let $B_\epsilon$ denote a "natural" smooth $\epsilon$-approximation to an $n$-dimensional Brownian motion $B$ (e.g. by mollification or simply piecewise linear) ...

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 $...
