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 ...

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 [...

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 ...

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 ...

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:...
