A notion of SDE via the martingale representation theorem

$\newcommand{\d}{\mathrm{d}}$It is well-known that differentiating stochastic processes with respect to time is usually impossible in the usual sense. For instance, a Brownian motion $W$ on a ...

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 ...

Bounded density for diffusions with diffusion coefficients bounded away from $0$

Consider a diffusion given by $$X_t=\int_0^t a(s,X_s)\,dW_s$$ for $t\ge 0$, where $W_\cdot$ is a standard Wiener process/Brownian motion and $a$ is a smooth enough positive function bounded away from $...

First hitting time for non-homogeneous diffusion martingale

This question can be seen as a continuation of Lipschitz continuity of $\mathbb P[\tau>t]$ with respect to $t$ Consider the martingale given as $$X_t=1+\int_0^t a(s,X_s)dW_s,\quad \forall t\ge 0.$$ ...

Is a Riccati BSDE explicitly solvable?

Let $W=\{W_t\}_{t\in[0;T]}$ be a real-valued Brownian motion, $\{F_t\}_{t\in [0;T]}$ the filtration generated by $W$, augmented with the nullsets, let $C\in (0;\infty)$ and $\{a_t\}_{t\in[0;T]}$ be a ...

Convergence of SDEs

Suppose that $\{a_n(x)\}_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ is a sequence of real-valued Lipschitz functions with domain $\mathbb{R}^d$, which converges $m$-a.e. to a Lipschitz function $a$. Suppose that $b$ is a ...

Non-smooth Ito lemma for semi-martingales

Is there an extension of Ito's Lemma where $X_t$ is a semi-martingale and $f:\mathbb{R}^d \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is a function which is not smooth? I've been looking but have not found much, any ...

Problem arising from martingale solutions to SPDE: $Law(u)=Law(v)$ on $C([0,T]; X)$, can $Law(u)=Law(v)$ on $C([0,t]; X)$ for $t<T$?

I ask this question because I found in some papers of martingale solutions to SPDE, to prove the approximate solutions $u_n$ is a convergent sequence, one can use "stochastic compact" method to find ...

Generalisation of Strassen's (Kellerer's) Theorem

Let $\mu$ and $\nu$ be two probability measures on $\mathbb R^d$ with finite first movements, i.e. $$\int_{\mathbb R^d}|x|~\mu(dx),\quad \int_{\mathbb R^d}|x|~\nu(dx) \quad <\quad +\infty.$$ $\mu$...
