A comparison of diffusions
Consider two diffusions given by
$$X_j(t)=\int_0^t a_j(s,X_j(s))\,dW_s$$
for $j=1,2$ and $t\ge 0$, where $W_\cdot$ is a standard Wiener process/Brownian motion and the $a_j$'s are smooth enough ...

Uniqueness of the solution to some SDE
Consider the stochastic differential equation as follows:
$$X_t=X_0+t+\int_0^t\frac{dW_s}{1+m(s)},\quad \forall t\ge 0,~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(\ast)$$
where $X_0>0$ is square integrable and $m(t)=\mathbb P[...

Processes with the same finite dimensional distributions as the solutions to SDEs
Consider a sequence of stochastic processes $\{\tilde{x}^n\}$, $\tilde{x}^n = \tilde{x}^n_t(\omega)$, and Brownian motions $\{\tilde{w}^n\}$. Suppose that for each $\tilde{x}^n$ solves the stochastic ...

Time interval of existence of an SDE solution with locally Lipschitz drift
Consider the stochastic ODE $$
dX = F(X) \, dt + dB
$$
where $B$ is Brownian motion. If the drift $F$ is locally Lipschitz, then the solution exists and is unique over $[0,T]$ where $T$ is an "...

Markov chain approximates a fractional diffusion
Let assume that
$$
dX_t=\mu(X_t)dt+\sigma(X_t)dW_t^H, X_0\in \mathbb{R}
$$
Where $\mu(.), \sigma(.)$ satisfy some conditions that guarantee $X_t$ exists, and $dW_t^H$ is a fractional Brownian motion ...

How to calculate the probability of 2 events happening in time series under only cdf information?
In time domain $0\rightarrow T$, there are two independent events $A$ and $B$.
$B$ follows Poisson Process with density $\lambda$. It's easy to get $P_B(t)$ which denotes $P_B(N(\tau+t)-N(\tau)\geq 1)...

Tightness on a set $A$ implies tightness on a set $B$ where $A\subset B$?
From the book Billingsley - Convergence of probability measures, 1999, we have the following definitions of tightness and relative compactness and the Prohorov's theorem:
Tightness: Let $\Pi$ be a ...

joint density of two relevant random variables
It seems that for most of the examples to derive the joint density of two or more random variables, the random variables themselves need to be independent. Is it possible to get the joint density of ...
