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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Looking for a limit related to the series in a previous post

Can any one show that the following limit? $$ \lim_{z\rightarrow \infty} \sqrt{z} \: e^{-z}\sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{z^k}{k! \sqrt{k}} \quad \stackrel{?}{=} \quad\sqrt{2}-1. $$ If one uses the ...

What are the difference between modeling with stochastic differential equations (SDE) and ordinary differential equations (ODE) with a random force?

There are lots of differences between SDE and ODE. From the theoretical point of view an also from the numerical algorithms used for simulations. But I am interested in knowing if there is a point ...

Colored noise in SDE

I want to numerically study the behavior of a system described by a set of differential equations in the presence of colored noise. It seems that the standard procedure is to use the Langevin equation:...

Maximal principle for stochastic heat equation

Consider $\partial_{t}u=\partial_{xx}u$ with Neumann boundary condition $u_{x}(0,t)=u_{x}(1,t)=0$ and initial condition $u(x,0)=f(x)\geqslant0$. Then up to time $T$, the maximal value of $u$ should be ...

Density of Dolean exponentials in L2 and Wiener Measure

Assume that W is the classical Wiener space C([0,1],R) note $\mu$ the Wiener measure, and denote by $\mu_s$ the image of $\mu$ under the maping $T: W ->W$ such that$ T(w)= \sqrt(s) w$ . Denote by $...

Inequality in Gaussian space -- possibly provable by rearrangement?

The following problem arose for my collaborators and me when studying the computational complexity of the Maximum-Cut problem. Let $f : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ be an odd function. Let $\rho \in [...

CAS for finding closed form solutions to PDEs and SDEs?

Are there any specialized Computer Algebra Systems (or packages for these) for finding closed form solutions to a) partial differential equations, b) stochastic differential equations? If yes, what ...
