A class of Volterra transforms, preserving the Wiener measure, with kernels of Goursat type is considered. Such kernels satisfy a self-reproduction property. We provide some results on the inverses of the associated Gramian matrices which lead to a new self-reproduction property. A connection to the classical reproduction property is given. Results are then applied to the study of a class of singular linear stochastic differential equations together with the corresponding decompositions of filtrations. The studied equations are viewed as non-canonical decompositions of some generalized bridges.
In this paper we prove well-posedness and stabibility of a class of stochastic delay differential equations with singular drift. Moreover, we show local well-posedness under localized assumptions.
This work concerns stochastic Volterra equations with singular kernels. Under the suitable conditions, we prove the central limit theorem for them. Moreover, we apply our result to stochastic Volterra equations with the kernels of fractional Brownian motions with the Hurst parameter $H\in(0, 1)$.
In this paper we obtain an Itô differential representation for a class of singular stochastic Volterra integral equations. As an application, we investigate the rate of convergence in the small time central limit theorem for the solution.
Backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) belong nowadays to the most frequently studied equations in stochastic analysis and computational stochastics. In this paper we prove that Picard iterations of BSDEs with globally Lipschitz continuous nonlinearities converge exponentially fast to the solution. Our main result in this paper is to establish a fundamental lemma to prove the global existence and uniqueness of an adapted solution to a singular backward stochastic nonlinear Volterra integral equation (for short singular BSVIE) of order $α\in (\frac{1}{2},1)$ under a weaker condition…
We study the existence and propagation of singularities of the solution to a one-dimensional linear stochastic wave equation driven by an additive Gaussian noise that is white in time and colored in space. Our approach is based on a simultaneous law of the iterated logarithm and general methods for Gaussian processes.
In this paper, we deal with a class of backward doubly stochastic differential equations (BDSDEs, in short) involving subdifferential operator of a convex function and driven by Teugels martingales associated with a Lévy process. We show the existence and uniqueness result by means of Yosida approximation. As an application, we give the existence of stochastic viscosity solution for a class of multivalued stochastic partial differential-integral equations (MSPIDEs, in short).
In the G-framework, we establish existence of an optimal stochastic relaxed control for stochastic differential equations driven by a G-Brownian motion.
In this paper, we prove that there exists a unique strong solution to reflecting stochastic differential equations with merely measurable drift giving an affirmative answer to the longstanding problem. This is done through Zvonkin transformation and a careful analysis of the transformed reflecting stochastic differential equations on non-smooth time-dependent domains.
In this paper, we provide a one-to-one correspondence between the solution Y of a BSDE with singular terminal condition and the solution H of a BSDE with singular generator. This result provides the precise asymptotic behavior of Y close to the final time and enlarges the uniqueness result to a wider class of generators.
In this paper, stability theorems for stochastic differential equations and backward stochastic differential equations driven by G-Brownian motion are obtained. We show the existence and uniqueness of solutions to forward-backward stochastic differential equations driven by G-Brownian motion. Stability theorem for forward-backward stochastic differential equations driven by G-Brownian motion is also presented.
In this paper, we consider the Cauchy problem of semi-linear degenerate backward stochastic partial differential equations (BSPDEs in short) under general settings without technical assumptions on the coefficients. For the solution of semi-linear degenerate BSPDE, we first give a proof for its existence and uniqueness, as well as regularity. Then the connection between semi-linear degenerate BSPDEs and forward backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDEs in short) is established, which can be regarded as an extension of Feynman-Kac formula to non-Markov frame.
In this paper, we study forward-backward doubly stochastic differential equations driven by Brownian motions and Poisson process (FBDSDEP in short). Both the probabilistic interpretation for the solutions to a class of quasilinear stochastic partial differential-integral equations (SPDIEs in short) and stochastic Hamiltonian systems arising in stochastic optimal control problems with random jumps are treated with FBDSDEP. Under some monotonicity assumptions, the existence and uniqueness results for measurable solutions of FBDSDEP are established via a method of continuation. Furthermore, the c…
In this paper we show that solutions of stochastic partial differential equations driven by Brownian motion can be approximated by stochastic partial differential equations forced by pure jump noise/random kicks. Applications to stochastic Burgers equations are discussed.
In this paper, we study backward doubly stochastic differential equations driven by Brownian motions and Poisson process (BDSDEP in short) with non-Lipschitz coefficients on random time interval. The probabilistic interpretation for the solutions to a class of quasilinear stochastic partial differential-integral equations (SPDIEs in short) is tthe solutionBDSDEP. Under non-Lipschitz conditions, the existence and uniqueness results for measurable solutions of BDSDEP are established via the smoothing technique. Then, the continuous dependence for solutions of BDSDEP is derived. Finally, the prob…
This paper is concerned with the switching game of a one-dimensional backward stochastic differential equation (BSDE). The associated Bellman-Isaacs equation is a system of matrix-valued BSDEs living in a special unbounded convex domain with reflection on the boundary along an oblique direction. In this paper, we show the existence of an adapted solution to this system of BSDEs with oblique reflection by the penalization method, the monotone convergence, and the a priori estimates.
In this paper we study a singular stochastic differential equation driven by an additive fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter $H>\frac 12$. Under some assumptions on the drift, we show that there is a unique solution, which has moments of all orders. We also apply the techniques of Malliavin calculus to prove that the solution has an absolutely continuous law at any time $t>0$.
This survey paper is a structured concise summary of four of our recent papers on the stochastic regularity of diffusions that are associated to regular strongly local (but not necessarily symmetric) Dirichlet forms. Here by stochastic regularity we mean the question whether a diffusion associated to a Dirichlet form as mentioned above can be started and identified as a solution to an explicit stochastic differential equation for explicitly given starting points. Beyond the stochastic regularity, we consider its applications to strong existence and pathwise uniqueness of singular stochastic di…
A numerical method is proposed for a class of stochastic control problems including singular behavior. This method solves an infinite-dimensional linear program equivalent to the stochastic control problem using a finite element type approximation, which results in a solvable finite-dimensional program. The discretization scheme as well as the necessary assumptions are discussed, and a detailed convergence analysis for the discretization scheme is given. Its performance is illustrated by two examples featuring a long-term average cost criterion.
We consider the problem of representing the value of singular stochastic control problems of linear diffusions as expected suprema. Setting the value accrued from following a standard reflection policy equal with the expected value of a unknown function at the running supremum of the underlying is shown to result into a functional equation from which the unknown function can be explicitly derived. We also consider the stopping problem associated with the considered singular stochastic control problem and present a similar representation as an expected supremum in terms of characteristics of th…
We study a general class of fully coupled backward-forward stochastic differential equations of mean-field type (MF-BFSDE). We derive existence and uniqueness results for such a system under weak monotonicity assumptions and without the non-degeneracy condition on the forward equation. This is achieved by suggesting an implicit approximation scheme that is shown to converge to the solution of the system of MF-BFSDE. We apply these results to derive an explicit form of open-loop Nash equilibrium strategies for nonzero sum mean-field linear-quadratic stochastic differential games with random coe…
We first state a special type of Itô formula involving stochastic integrals of both standard and fractional Brownian motions. Then we use Doss-Sussman transformation to establish the link between backward doubly stochastic differential equations, driven by both standard and fractional Brownian motions, and backward stochastic differential equations, driven only by standard Brownian motions. Following the same technique, we further study associated nonlinear stochastic partial differential equations driven by fractional Brownian motions and partial differential equations with stochastic coeffic…
In this paper, by virtue of Malliavin calculus, we establish a relationship between backward doubly stochastic differential equations with random coefficients and quasilinear stochastic PDEs, and thus extend the well-known nonlinear stochastic Feynman-Kac formula of Pardoux and Peng [14] to non-Markovian case.
This essay explores the meaning of stochastic differential equations and stochastic integrals. It sets these subjects in a context of Riemann-Stieltjes integration. It is intended as a comment or supplement to \cite{MTRV}.
We prove the existence and uniqueness of a strong solution for an SDE on a semi-axis with singularities at the point 0. The result obtained yields, for example, the strong uniqueness of non-negative solutions to SDEs governing Bessel processes.
A Class of Multi-dimensional Backward Stochastic Differential Equations with Singular Generators exhibiting Diagonally Quadratic Growth and Applications
For a mixed stochastic differential equation containing both Wiener process and a Hölder continuous process with exponent $γ>1/2$, we prove a stochastic viability theorem. As a consequence, we get a result about positivity of solution and a pathwise comparison theorem. An application to option price estimation is given.
We derive a stochastic Gronwall lemma with suprema over the paths in the upper bound of the assumed affine-linear growth assumption. This allows applications to Itô processes with coefficients which depend on earlier time points such as stochastic delay equations or Euler-type approximations of stochastic differential equations. We apply our stochastic Gronwall lemma with path-suprema to stochastic functional differential equations and prove a strong convergence rate for coefficient functions which depend on path-suprema.
Existence and uniqueness results of fully coupled forward stochastic differential equations without drifts and backward stochastic differential equations in a degenerate case are obtained for an arbitrarily large time duration.
We define fully coupled forward-backward stochastic differential equations on spaces related to continuous time, finite state Markov Chains. Existence and uniqueness results of the fully coupled forward-backward stochastic differential equations on Markov Chains are obtained.
In this paper we investigate classical solution of a semi-linear system of backward stochastic integral partial differential equations driven by a Brownian motion and a Poisson point process. By proving an Itô-Wentzell formula for jump diffusions as well as an abstract result of stochastic evolution equations, we obtain the stochastic integral partial differential equation for the inverse of the stochastic flow generated by a stochastic differential equation driven by a Brownian motion and a Poisson point process. By composing the random field generated by the solution of a backward stochastic…
In this paper we prove the stochastic homeomorphism flow property and the strong Feller property for stochastic differential equations with sigular time dependent drifts and Sobolev diffusion coefficients. Moreover, the local well posedness under local assumptions are also obtained. In particular, we extend Krylov and Röckner's results in \cite{Kr-Ro} to the case of non-constant diffusion coefficients.
In this paper, we prove the strong Feller property for stochastic delay (or functional) differential equations with singular drift. We extend an approach of Maslowski and Seidler to derive the strong Feller property of those equations. The argumentation is based on the well-posedness and the strong Feller property of the equations' drift-free version. To this aim, we investigate a certain convergence of random variables in topological spaces in order to deal with discontinuous drift coefficients.
We review recent progress in the study of infinite-dimensional stochastic differential equations with symmetry. This paper contains examples arising from random matrix theory.
This paper extends the idea of E.Gobet, J.P.Lemor and X.Warin from the setting of Backward Stochastic Differential Equations to that of Backward Doubly Stochastic Differential equations. We propose some numerical approximation scheme of these equations introduced by E.Pardoux and S.Peng.
By the methods of probability and duality technique, we give some comparison theorems for the solutions of infinite horizon forward-backwad stochastic differential equations.
We prove constructible sufficient conditions of lack of exit by solutions of stochastic differential Ito's equations from domains with smooth boundaries
We consider the generalized parabolic Anderson equation (gPAM) in 2 dimensions with periodic boundary. This is an example of a singular semilinear stochastic partial differential equations, solutions of which require renormalization and have only be understood recently via Hairer's regularity structures and, in some cases equivalently, paracontrollled distributions due to Gubinelli, Imkeller and Perkowski. In the present paper we describe the law of gPAM, by establishing a Stroock{Varadhan type support theorem in suitable Holder{Besov spaces.
This paper is devoted to proving the strong averaging principle for slow-fast stochastic partial differential equations with locally monotone coefficients, where the slow component is a stochastic partial differential equations with locally monotone coefficients and the fast component is a stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) with strongly monotone coefficients. The result is applicable to a large class of examples, such as the stochastic porous medium equation, the stochastic $p$-Laplace equation, the stochastic Burgers type equation and the stochastic 2D Navier-Stokes equation, …
In this paper, we consider the fully coupled forward-backward stochastic functional differential equations (FBSFDEs) with stochastic functional differential equations as the forward equations and the generalized anticipated backward stochastic differential equations as the backward equations. We will prove the existence and uniqueness theorem for FBSFDEs. As an application, we deal with a quadratic optimal control problem for functional stochastic systems, and get the explicit form of the optimal control by virtue of FBSFDEs.
In this article, we introduce the notion of stochastic symmetry of a differential equation. It consists in a stochastic flow that acts over a solution of a differential equation and produces another solution of the same equation. In the ordinary case, we give necessary conditions in order to obtain such symmetries. These conditions involve the infinitesimal generator of the flow and the coefficients of the equation. Moreover, we show how to obtain necessary conditions in order to find an application that transforms a stochastic differential equation that one would like to solve into a target e…
In this paper, we consider the stochastic optimal control problems under G-expectation. Based on the theory of backward stochastic differential equations driven by G-Brownian motion, which was introduced in [10.11], we can investigate the more general stochastic optimal control problems under G-expectation than that were constructed in [28]. Then we obtain a generalized dynamic programming principle and the value function is proved to be a viscosity solution of a fully nonlinear second-order partial differential equation.
We study the existence of a unique solution to semilinear fractional backward doubly stochastic differential equation driven by a Brownian motion and a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter less than 1/2. Here the stochastic integral with respect to the fractional Brownian motion is the extended divergence operator and the one with respect to Brownian motion is Itô's backward integral. For this we use the technique developed by R.Buckdahn to analyze stochastic differential equations on the Wiener space, which is based on the Girsanov theorem and the Malliavin calculus, and we reduce …
In this paper, we generalize to Gaussian Volterra processes the existence and uniqueness of solutions for a class of non linear backward stochastic differential equations (BSDE) and we establish the relation between the non linear BSDE and the partial differential equation (PDE). A comparison theorem for the solution of the BSDE is proved and the continuity of its law is studied.
We prove an existence and uniqueness result for generalized backward doubly stochastic differential equations driven by Lévy processes with non-Lipschitz assumptions.
We correct a few errors that appeared in [Convergence of invariant measures for singular stochastic diffusion equations, Stochastic Process. Appl. 122 (2012), no. 4, 1998--2017] by I. Ciotir and J.M. Tölle.
In this paper, the exact values of the structured singular values of some generalized stochastic complex matrices is explicit in term of the constant row (column) sum.
We consider the problem of constructing weak solutions to the Itô and to the Stratonovich stochastic differential equations having critical-order singularities in the drift and critical-order discontinuities in the dispersion matrix.
In this Note, assuming that the generator is uniform Lipschitz in the unknown variables, we relate the solution of a one dimensional backward stochastic differential equation with the value process of a stochastic differential game. Under a domination condition, a filtration-consistent evaluations is also related to a stochastic differential game. This relation comes out of a min-max representation for uniform Lipschitz functions as affine functions. The extension to reflected backward stochastic differential equations is also included.
In this paper, by establishing the $L^p$-$L^q$ estimate and Sobolev estimates for parabolic partial differential equations with a singular first order term and a Lipschitz first order term, a new Zvonkin-type transformation is given for stochastic differential equations with singular and Lipschitz drifts. The associated Krylov's estimate is established. As applications, Harnack inequalities are established for stochastic equations with Hölder continuous diffusion coefficient and singular drift term without regularity assumption.
