Abstract

We consider the Stochastic Differential Equation Xt=X0+0tb(s,Xs)ds+BtX_t = X_0 + \int_0^t b(s,X_s) ds + B_t, in Rd\mathbb{R}^d. We give an example of a drift bb such that there does not exist a weak solution, but there exists a solution for almost every realization of the Brownian motion BB. We also give an explicit example of a drift such that the SDE has a pathwise unique weak solution, but path-by-path uniqueness (i.e. uniqueness of solutions to the ODE for almost every realization of the Brownian motion) is lost. These counterexamples extend the results obtained in arXiv:2001.02869 to dimension d=1d=1.
