The comparison theorem for skew Brownian motions is proved. As the corollary we get the estimate on ${\Cal L}_1-$distance between two skew Brownian motions started from different points. Using this result we prove the continuous dependence on starting point of one class of generalized diffusion processes constructed as the strong solution to an SDE.
There are numerous applications of the classical (deterministic) Gronwall inequality. Recently, Michael Scheutzow discovered a stochastic Gronwall inequality which provides upper bounds for $p$-th moments, $p\in(0,1)$, of the supremum of nonnegative scalar continuous processes which satisfy a linear integral inequality. In this article we complement this with upper bounds for $p$-th moments, $p\in[2,\infty)$, of the supremum of general Itô processes which satisfy a suitable one-sided affine-linear growth condition. As example applications, we improve known results on strong local Lipschitz con…

This paper is devoted to studying the properties of the exit times of stochastic differential equations driven by $G$-Brownian motion ($G$-SDEs). In particular, we prove that the exit times of $G$-SDEs has the quasi-continuity property. As an application, we give a probabilistic representation for a large class of fully nonlinear elliptic equations with Dirichlet boundary.
In this paper, we build the equivalence between rough differential equations driven by the lifted $G$-Brownian motion and the corresponding Stratonovich type SDE through the Wong-Zakai approximation. The quasi-surely convergence rate of Wong-Zakai approximation to $G-$SDEs with mesh-size $\frac{1}{n}$ in the $α$-Hölder norm is estimated as $(\frac{1}{n})^{\frac12-}.$ As corollary, we obtain the quasi-surely continuity of the above RDEs with respect to uniform norm.
We study functional stochastic differential equations with a locally unbounded, functional drift focusing on well-posedness, stability and the strong Feller property. Following the non-functional case, we only consider integrability conditions and avoid continuity assumptions as far as possible. Our approach is mainly based on Zvonkin's transformation [18], an extended version of the probabilistic approach of Maslowski and Seidler [12] and the convergence concept for random variables in topological spaces in [2].
We study stochastic differential equations (SDEs) of McKean-Vlasov type with distribution dependent drifts and driven by pure jump Lévy processes. We prove a uniform in time propagation of chaos result, providing quantitative bounds on convergence rate of interacting particle systems with Lévy noise to the corresponding McKean-Vlasov SDE. By applying techniques that combine couplings, appropriately constructed $L^1$-Wasserstein distances and Lyapunov functions, we show exponential convergence of solutions of such SDEs to their stationary distributions. Our methods allow us to obtain results th…
For a discrete-negative-time discrete-space SDE, which admits no strong solution in the classical sense, a weak solution is constructed that is a (necessarily nonmeasurable) non-anticipative function of the driving i.i.d. noise. The result highlights the strong rôle measurability plays in (non-discrete) probability. En route one -- quite literally -- stumbles upon a converse to the celebrated Kolmogorov's zero-one law for sequences with independent values.

In this paper linear stochastic transport and continuity equations with drift in critical $L^{p}$ spaces are considered. In this situation noise prevents shocks for the transport equation and singularities in the density for the continuity equation, starting from smooth initial conditions. Specifically, we first prove a result of Sobolev regularity of solutions, which is false for the corresponding deterministic equation. The technique needed to reach the critical case is new and based on parabolic equations satisfied by moments of first derivatives of the solution, opposite to previous works …
Let $X$ be a regular one-dimensional transient diffusion and $L^y$ be its local time at $y$. The stochastic differential equation (SDE) whose solution corresponds to the process $X$ conditioned on $[L^y_{\infty}=a]$ for a given $a\geq 0$ is constructed and a new path decomposition result for transient diffusions is given. In the course of the construction of the SDE the concept of {\em recurrent transformation} is introduced and {\em Bessel-type motions} as well as their SDE representations are studied. A remarkable link between an $h$-transform with a minimal excessive function and recurrent …
In many applications, it is often necessary to sample the mean value of certain quantity with respect to a probability measure μ on the level set of a smooth function $ξ: \mathbb{R}^d\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^k$, $1\le k < d$. A specially interesting case is the so-called conditional probability measure, which is useful in the study of free energy calculation and model reduction of diffusion processes. By Birkhoff's ergodic theorem, one approach to estimate the mean value is to compute the time average along an infinitely long trajectory of an ergodic diffusion process on the level set whose inva…
Recently in [M. Hairer, M. Hutzenthaler, and A. Jentzen, Ann. Probab. 43, 2 (2015), 468--527] and [A. Jentzen, T. Müller-Gronbach, and L. Yaroslavtseva, Commun. Math. Sci. 14, 6 (2016), 1477--1500] stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with smooth coefficient functions have been constructed which have an arbitrarily slowly converging modulus of continuity in the initial value. In these SDEs it is crucial that some of the first order partial derivatives of the drift coefficient functions grow at least exponentially and, in particular, quicker than any polynomial. However, in applications SDE…

We combine the rough path theory and stochastic backward error analysis to develop a new framework for error analysis on numerical schemes. Based on our approach, we prove that the almost sure convergence rate of the modified Milstein scheme for stochastic differential equations driven by multiplicative multidimensional fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter $H\in(\frac14,\frac12)$ is $(2H-\frac12)^-$ for sufficiently smooth coefficients, which is optimal in the sense that it is consistent with the result of the corresponding implementable approximation of the Lévy area of fractional …
Implementation of Strong Numerical Methods of Orders 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0 for Ito SDEs with Non-Commutative Noise Based on the Unified Taylor-Ito and Taylor-Stratonovich Expansions and Multiple Fourier-Legendre Series
We improve the integrability of the state space of the $Φ^4_3$-process and the support of the $Φ^4_3$-measure on the torus obtained in [Albeverio, Kusuoka, Ann. Sc. Norm. Super. Pisa Cl. Sci. (5), 2020]. For the improvement, we improve the estimates of the Hölder continuity in time of the solutions to approximation equations. In the present paper, we only discuss the estimates different from those in [Albeverio, Kusuoka, Ann. Sc. Norm. Super. Pisa Cl. Sci. (5), 2020].
I was asked to make my, by now quite old PhD thesis, available on the arxiv, for parts of it was never submitted for publication. The thesis offers a systematic study of stochastic differential equations (SDEs) on non-compact spaces. In particular we solve the open problem on strong completeness. An SDE is strongly complete if its solution can be chosen to depend continuously in space and in time for all time. The question is whether non-explosion, with possibly additional assumptions, implies strong completeness. Strong completeness of an SDE implies that its solution depends continuously on …
This paper investigates a non-autonomous slow-fast system, which is generalized by stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with locally Lipschitz coefficients, subjected to standard Brownian motion (Bm) and fractional Brownian motion (fBm) with Hurst parameter 1/2<H<1. We concentrate on how to handle both types of integrals with respect to Bm and fBm and the locally Lispchitz continuity. The pathwise approach and the Ito stochastic calculus are combined with the technique of stopping time to establish the averaging principle where the averaged equation is defined. Then, the slow component of …
