We consider stochastic differential equations driven by Wiener processes. The vector fields are supposed to satisfy only local Lipschitz conditions. The Lipschitz constants of the drift vector field, valid on balls of radius $R$, are supposed to grow not faster than $\log R$, while those of the diffusion vector fields are supposed to grow not faster than $\sqrt{\log R}.$ We regularize the stochastic differential equations by associating with them approximating ordinary differential equations obtained by discretization of the increments of the Wiener process on small intervals. By showing that the flow associated with a regularized equation converges uniformly to the solution of the stochastic differential equation, we simultaneously establish the existence of a global flow for the stochastic equation under local Lipschitz conditions.
We prove an existence and uniqueness result for generalized backward doubly stochastic differential equations driven by Lévy processes with non-Lipschitz assumptions.
In this paper, we deal with a class of one-dimensional reflected backward stochastic differential equations with stochastic Lipschitz coefficient. We derive the existence and uniqueness of the solutions for those equations via Snell envelope and the fixed point theorem.
We study a class of stochastic differential equations with non-Lipschitzian coefficients.A unique strong solution is obtained and a large deviation principle of Freidln-Wentzell type has been established.
By using coupling arguments, Harnack type inequalities are established for a class of stochastic (functional) differential equations with multiplicative noises and non-Lipschitzian coefficients. To construct the required couplings, two results on existence and uniqueness of solutions on an open domain are presented.
In this paper, the existence and pathwise uniqueness of strong solutions for jump-type stochastic differential equations are investigated under non-Lipschitz conditions. A sufficient condition is obtained for ensuring the non-confluent property of strong solutions of jump-type stochastic differential equations. Moreover, some examples are given to illustrate our results.
In this paper, we study the existence and uniqueness of solutions to stochastic differential equations driven by G-Brownian motion (GSDEs) with integral-Lipschitz conditions on their coefficients.
We prove the existence of density for the solution to the multiplicative semilinear stochastic heat equation on an unbounded spatial domain, with drift term satisfying a half-Lipschitz type condition. The methodology is based on a careful analysis of differentiability for a map defined on weighted functional spaces.
In this paper we study a type of stochastic McKean-Vlasov equations with non-Lipschitz coefficients. Firstly, by an Euler-Maruyama approximation existence of its weak solutions is proved. And then we observe pathwise uniqueness of its weak solutions. Finally, it is shown that the Euler-Maruyama approximation has an optimal strong convergence rate.
We obtain sufficient condition for SDEs to evolve in the positive orthant. We use comparison theorem arguments to achieve this. As a result we prove the existence of a unique strong solution for a class of multidimensional degenerate SDEs with non-Lipschitz diffusion coefficients.
This paper proves the existence and uniqueness of a solution to doubly reflected backward stochastic differential equations where the coefficient is stochastic Lipschitz, by means of the penalization method.
This paper considers multidimensional jump type stochastic differential equations with super linear growth and non-Lipschitz coefficients. After establishing a sufficient condition for nonexplosion, this paper presents sufficient non-Lipschitz conditions for pathwise uniqueness. The non confluence property for solutions is investigated. Feller and strong Feller properties under non-Lipschitz conditions are investigated via the coupling method. Sufficient conditions for irreducibility and exponential ergodicity are derived. As applications, this paper also studies multidimensional stochastic di…
This paper is concerned with existence and uniqueness of M-solutions of backward stochastic Volterra integral equations (BSVIEs for short), which Lipschitz coefficients are allowed to be random, which generalize the results in [15]. Then a class of continuous time dynamic dynamic coherent risk measures is derived, allowing the riskless interest rate to be random, which is different from the case in [15].
Stochastic Volterra integral equations with jumps (SVIEs) have become very common and widely used in numerous branches of science, due to their connections with mathematical finance, biology, engineering and so on. In this paper, we apply the successive approximation method to investigate the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the SVIEs driven by Brownian motion and compensated Poisson random measure under non-Lipschitz condition.
For stochastic reaction-diffusion equations with Lévy noises and non-Lipschitz reaction terms, we prove that $W_1H$ transportation cost inequalities hold for their invariant probability measures and for their process-level laws on the path space with respect to the $L^1$-metric. The proofs are based on the Galerkin approximations.
We prove a Freidlin-Wentzell result for stochastic differential equations in infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces perturbed by a cylindrical Wiener process. We do not assume the drift to be Lipschitz continuous, but only continuous with at most linear growth. Our result applies, in particular, to a large class of nonlinear fractional diffusion equations perturbed by a space-time white noise.
We consider the existence and pathwise uniqueness of the stochastic heat equation with a multiplicative colored noise term on IR^d for d greater or equal to 1. We focus on the case of non-Lipschitz noise coefficients and singular spatial noise correlations. In the course of the proof a new result on Hoelder continuity of the solutions near zero is established.
This paper is devoted to the study of the differentiability of solutions to real-valued backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs for short) with quadratic generators driven by a cylindrical Wiener process. The main novelty of this problem consists in the fact that the gradient equation of a quadratic BSDE has generators which satisfy stochastic Lipschitz conditions involving BMO martingales. We show some applications to the nonlinear Kolmogorov equations.
The strong convergence of Euler approximations of stochastic delay differential equations is proved under general conditions. The assumptions on drift and diffusion coefficients have been relaxed to include polynomial growth and only continuity in the arguments corresponding to delays. Furthermore, the rate of convergence is obtained under one-sided and polynomial Lipschitz conditions. Finally, our findings are demonstrated with the help of numerical simulations.
We prove the existence and uniqueness of the mild solution for a nonlinear stochastic heat equation defined on an unbounded spatial domain. The nonlinearity is not assumed to be globally, or even locally, Lipschitz continuous. Instead the nonlinearity is assumed to satisfy a one-sided Lipschitz condition. First, a strengthened version of the Kolmogorov continuity theorem is introduced to prove that the stochastic convolutions of the fundamental solution of the heat equation and a spatially homogeneous noise grow no faster than polynomially. Second, a deterministic mapping that maps the stochas…
We introduce a new distance, a Lipschitz-Prokhorov distance $d_{LP}$, on the set $\mathcal {PM}$ of isomorphism classes of pairs $(X, P)$ where $X$ is a compact metric space and $P$ is the law of a continuous stochastic process on $X$. We show that $(\mathcal {PM}, d_{LP})$ is a complete metric space. For Markov processes on Riemannian manifolds, we study relative compactness and convergence.
In this paper, a probabilistic interpretation for the viscosity solution of a parabolic partial differential equation is obtained by virtue of the solution of a class of quadratic backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs, for short). Furthermore, we prove the convergence and the large deviation principle for the solution of this class of quadratic BSDEs, which is associated with a family of Markov processes with the diffusion coefficients that tend to be zero.
In this paper we consider the stability for a type of stochastic McKean-Vlasov equations with non-Lipschitz coefficients. First, sufficient conditions are given for the exponential stability of the second moments for their solutions in terms of a Lyapunov function. Then we weaken the conditions and furthermore obtain exponentially 2-ultimate boundedness of their solutions. After this, the almost surely asymptotic stability of their solutions is proved. Finally we give an example to motivate the choice of Lyapunov functions.
In the paper, we consider the no-explosion condition and pathwise uniqueness for SDEs driven by a Poisson random measure with coefficients that are super-linear and non-Lipschitz. We give a comparison theorem in the one-dimensional case under some additional condition. Moreover, we study the non-contact property and the continuity with respect to the space variable of the stochastic flow. As an application, we will show that there exists a unique strong solution for SDEs with coefficients like $x\log|x|$.
We provide necessary and sufficient first order geometric conditions for the stochastic invariance of a closed subset of R^d with respect to a jump-diffusion under weak regularity assumptions on the coefficients. Our main result extends the recent characterization proved in Abi Jaber, Bouchard and Illand (2016) to jump-diffusions. We also derive an equivalent formulation in the semimartingale framework.
In this paper, a solution is given to reflected backward doubly stochastic differential equations when the barrier is not necessarily right-continuous, and the noise is driven by two independent Brownian motions and an independent Poisson random measure. The existence and uniqueness of the solution is shown, firstly when the coefficients are stochastic Lipschitz, and secondly by weakening the conditions on the stochastic growth coefficient.
This paper, is an attempt to extend the notion of stochastic viscosity solution to reflected semi-linear stochastic partial differential equations (RSPDEs, in short) with non-Lipschitz condition on the coefficients. Our method is fully probabilistic and use the recently developed theory on reflected backward doubly stochastic differential equations (RBDSDEs, in short). Among other, we prove the existence of the stochastic viscosity solution, and further extend the nonlinear Feynman-Kac formula to reflected SPDEs, like one appear in \cite{2}. Indeed, in their recent work, Aman and Mrhardy \cite…
We consider strong convergence of the finite differences approximation in space for stochastic reaction diffusion equations with multiplicative noise under a one-sided Lipschitz condition only. We derive convergence with an implicit rate depending on the regularity of the exact solution. This can be made explicit if the variational solution has more than its canonical spatial regularity. As an application, spatially extended FitzHugh-Nagumo systems with noise are considered.
We prove an $L^2$-regularity result for the solutions of Forward Backward Doubly Stochastic Differentiel Equations (FBDSDEs in short) under globally Lipschitz continuous assumptions on the coefficients. Therefore, we extend the well known regularity results established by Zhang (2004) for Forward Backward Stochastic Differential Equations (FBSDEs in short) to the doubly stochastic framework. To this end, we prove (by Malliavin calculus) a representation result for the martingale component of the solution of the F-BDSDE under the assumption that the coefficients are continuous in time and conti…
This paper is devoted to studying the averaging principle for stochastic differential equations with slow and fast time-scales, where the drift coefficients satisfy local Lipschitz conditions with respect to the slow and fast variables, and the coefficients in the slow equation depend on time $t$ and $ω$. Making use of the techniques of time discretization and truncation, we prove that the slow component strongly converges to the solution of the corresponding averaged equation.
The existence of the unique strong solution for a class of stochastic differential equations with non-Lipschitz coefficients was established recently. In this paper, we shall investigate the dependence with respect to the initial values. We shall prove that the non confluence of solutions holds under our general conditions. To obtain a continuous version, the modulus of continuity of coefficients is assumed to be less than $\dis |x-y|\log{1\over|x-y|}$. In this case, it will give rise to a flow of homeomorphisms if the coefficients are compactly supported.
This paper provides a new characterization of the stochastic invariance of a closed subset of R^d with respect to a diffusion. We extend the well-known inward pointing Stratonovich drift condition to the case where the diffusion matrix can fail to be differentiable: we only assume that the covariance matrix is. In particular, our result can be directly applied to construct affine diffusions and polynomial preserving diffusions on any arbitrary closed set.
Strong and weak approximation errors of a spatial finite element method are analyzed for stochastic partial differential equations(SPDEs) with one-sided Lipschitz coefficients, including the stochastic Allen--Cahn equation, driven by additive noise. In order to give the strong convergence rate of the finite element method, we present an appropriate decomposition and some a priori estimates of the discrete stochastic convolution. To the best of our knowledge, there has been no essentially sharp weak convergence rate of spatial approximation for parabolic SPDEs with non-globally Lipschitz coeffi…

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…

In this paper we study a class of backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) of the form dY(t)= -AY(t)dt -f_0(t,Y(t))dt -f_1(t,Y(t),Z(t))dt + Z(t)dW(t) on the interval [0,T], with given final condition at time T, in an infinite dimensional Hilbert space H. The unbounded operator A is sectorial and dissipative and the nonlinearity f_0(t,y) is dissipative and defined for y only taking values in a subspace of H. A typical example is provided by the so-called polynomial nonlinearities. Applications are given to stochastic partial differential equations and spin systems.
In this paper, we continue in solving reflected generalized backward stochastic differential equations (RGBSDE for short) and fixed terminal time with use some new technical aspects of the stochastic calculus related to the reflected generalized BSDE. Here, existence and uniqueness of solution is proved under a non-Lipschitz condition on the coefficients.
In this paper, we study the existence and uniqueness of solutions for several classes of stochastic evolution equations with non-Lipschitz coefficients, that is, backward stochastic evolution equations, stochastic Volterra type evolution equations and stochastic functional evolution equations. In particular, the results can be used to treat a large class of quasi-linear stochastic equations, which includes the reaction diffusion and porous medium equations.
We prove the existence and uniqueness of probabilistically strong solutions to stochastic porous media equations driven by time-dependent multiplicative noise on a general measure space $(E, \mathscr{B}(E), μ)$, and the Laplacian replaced by a self-adjoint operator $L$. In the case of Lipschitz nonlinearities $Ψ$, we in particular generalize previous results for open $E\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ and $L\!\!=$Laplacian to fractional Laplacians. We also generalize known results on general measure spaces, where we succeeded in dropping the transience assumption on $L$, in extending the set of allowed i…
In this work the existence of solutions of one-dimensional backward dou- bly stochastic differential equations (BDSDEs in short) where the coefficient is left-Lipschitz in y (may be discontinuous) and Lipschitz in z is studied. Also, the associated comparison theorem is obtained.
In this paper, we consider a scalar stochastic balance law and gain the existence for stochastic entropy solutions. Our proof relies on the BGK approximation and the generalized Itô formula. Moreover, as an application, we derive the existence of stochastic entropy solutions for stochastic Buckley-Leverett type equations.
In this work we study the long time behavior of nonlinear stochastic functional-differential equations of neutral type in Hilbert spaces with non-Lipschitz nonlinearities. We establish the existence of invariant measures in the shift spaces for such equations. Our approach is based on Krylov-Bogoliubov theorem on the tightness of the family of measures.
It is well-known that a stochastic differential equation (sde) on a Euclidean space driven by a (possibly infinite-dimensional) Brownian motion with Lipschitz coefficients generates a stochastic flow of homeomorphisms. If the Lipschitz condition is replaced by an appropriate one-sided Lipschitz condition (sometimes called monotonicity condition) and the number of driving Brownian motions is finite, then existence and uniqueness of global solutions for each fixed initial condition is also well-known. In this paper we show that under a slightly stronger one-sided Lipschitz condition the solution…
The purpose of this paper is to study some properties of solutions to one dimensional as well as multidimensional stochastic differential equations (SDEs in short) with super-linear growth conditions on the coefficients. Taking inspiration from \cite{BEHP, KBahlali, Bahlali}, we introduce a new {\it{local condition}} which ensures the pathwise uniqueness, as well as the non-contact property. We moreover show that the solution produces a stochastic flow of continuous maps and satisfies a large deviations principle of Freidlin-Wentzell type. Our conditions on the coefficients go beyond the exist…
In this paper we study the unique solvability of backward stochastic Volterra integral equations (BSVIEs in short), in terms of both the M-solutions introduced in [17] and the adapted solutions in [6], [12] or [14]. A general existence and uniqueness of M-solutions is proved under non-Lipschitz conditions by virtue of a briefer argument than the one in [17], which also extends the results in [17]. For the adapted solutions, the unique solvability of BSVIEs, under more general stochastic non-Lipschitz conditions, is obtained which generalizes the results in [6], [12] and [14].
We introduce the notion of stochastic logarithmic Lipschitz constants and use these constants to characterize stochastic contractivity of Itô stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with multiplicative noise. We find an upper bound for stochastic logarithmic Lipschitz constants based on known logarithmic norms (matrix measures) of the Jacobian of the drift and diffusion terms of the SDEs. We discuss noise-induced contractivity in SDEs and common noise-induced synchronization in network of SDEs and illustrate the theoretical results on a noisy Van der Pol oscillator. We show that a determinist…
Localized sufficient conditions for the large deviation principle of the given stochastic differential equations will be presented for stochastic differential equations with non-Lipschitzian and time-inhomogeneous coefficients, which is weaker than those relevant conditions existing in the literature. We consider at first the large deviation principle when $\int_0^t\sup_{x\in\mathbb{R}^d}||σ(s,x)||\vee|b(s,x)|ds=:C_t<\infty$ for any fixed $t$, then we generalize the conclusion to unbounded case by using bounded approximation program.
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 …
We consider general stochastic systems of interacting particles with noise which are relevant as models for the collective behavior of animals, and rigorously prove that in the mean-field limit the system is close to the solution of a kinetic PDE. Our aim is to include models widely studied in the literature such as the Cucker-Smale model, adding noise to the behavior of individuals. The difficulty, as compared to the classical case of globally Lipschitz potentials, is that in several models the interaction potential between particles is only locally Lipschitz, the local Lipschitz constant gro…
