Reference for PDEs from system of SDEs
I'm working with a system of SDEs
\begin{align*}
dX_t &= b(X_t, t) + \sigma dB_t\\
dY_t &= c(X_t, Y_t, t) + \sigma dB_t.
\end{align*}
Here, the Brownian motion is the same.
I know that ...

Decay estimate of moment of an SDE
We consider an SDE

d X_t = b(t, X_t) \, dt + \sigma(t, X_t) \, d B_t,
$$
where $(B_t)$ is a $d$-dimensional Brownian motion on $\mathbb R^d$. We fix $p \in [1, \infty)$. Here $b, \sigma$ are ...

When does a solution to SDE have full support?
Suppose an $n$-dimensional process $(X_t)_{0 \leq t \leq 1}$ satisfies an SDE of the form:
$$dX_t = u_t(X_t) \,dt + dB_t, ~~X_0 = 0$$
where $(B_t)_{t\geq 0}$ is a Brownian motion with $B_1 \sim N(0,K)$...
