How is Kolmogorov forward equation derived from the theory of semigroup of operators?
In Lamperti's Stochastic Processes, given
a time-homogeneous Markov process $X(t), t\geq 0$ with Markov transition kernel $p_t(x,E)$ and state space being a measurable space $(S, \mathcal{F})$,
a ...

Probability of winding number of 2D Brownian Motion
Let $B_t$ be a 2D Brownian Motion with $B_0 = (1,0)$. Now, express $B_t$ in polars, that is, $B_t = (r(t), \theta(t))$. Let $\tau = \inf\{t > 0 : \theta(t) \geq 2 \pi \}$. What is $\mathbb{P}[\tau \...

Smoothness of resolvent of the infinitesimal generator of an Ito diffusion acting on bounded continuous function
Let $dX_t=\sigma(X_t)\,dW_t+\mu(X_t)\,dt$ be an Ito diffusion with Lipschitz coefficients and $\sigma(x)>0$. Let $f(x)$ be a continuous and bounded and non decreasing function. Can we prove that ...

Floquet stochastic process
Let $X_t$ be defined by the SDE
$$
dX_t = A(t, X_t)dt + dW_t
$$
where $A(t, X_t)$ is linear in $X_t$ and periodic in $t$. Assume also that the process is stable. If $A(\cdot)$ didn't have $t$ ...

Adiabatic elimination of a variable in a system of nonlinear stochastic ODEs?
If this is too basic for MathOverflow... say the word and I shall move it to Math.SE
First consider this system of ODEs. Say I have two variables $u$ and $a$, following
$$
\dot u = -u + f(a)
$$
$$

Solutions to ODE/SDE with singular coefficients $dX_t = -X_t/t \, dt + g\,dW_t$
I encountered a question regarding the solutions to SDEs with singular drifts. I searched the literature but had a hard time figuring out the intuition behind these analytic results assuming different ...
