What happens to an SDE conditional on the underlying Brownian motion being close to $f \in C[0, T]$?
The so called forgery theorem for Brownian motion says that for any continuous $f: [0, T] \to \mathbb R^d$, with $f(0) = 0$, the $d$ dimensional Brownian motion $W$ has a nonzero chance of staying $\...

Distribution of Brownian motion conditional on linear growth
Let $W$ be a standard $d$-dimensional Brownian motion with $W_0 = 0$ almost surely.
Fix a constant $\lambda > 0$ and timeframe $T > 0$, and consider the event
$$ E_T := \{|B_s| \geq \lambda s\ \...

Freidlin Wentzell for stochastic differential inclusions
Consider the SDI
$$dX^\varepsilon(t)\in b(X^\varepsilon(t))\,dt + \varepsilon \sigma(X^\varepsilon(t)) \, dB(t).$$
Is there any Freidlin-Wentzell large deviations principle for $X^\varepsilon$?

Reference: hitting time of Gaussian process
Let $X_t$ be an OU process and $Y_t$ be the Gaussian process defined by
$$
Y_t = y+\int_0^t X_s ds + W_t,
$$
for some Brownian motion independent of $X_t$. Let $y,a>0$; is there a large deviation ...

Determine the affine envelope of a random process's MGF
Suppose that a stationary random process $S(t)$ can be characterized as the figure below, which for most of the time is a straight line $S(t)=c\cdot t$, but occasionally would "stall" for a ...
