Sensitivity analysis for diffusion processes constrained to an orthant

Probability 2014-07-03 v3

Abstract

This paper studies diffusion processes constrained to the positive orthant under infinitesimal changes in the drift. Our first main result states that any constrained function and its (left) drift-derivative is the unique solution to an augmented Skorohod problem. Our second main result uses this characterization to establish a basic adjoint relationship for the stationary distribution of the constrained diffusion process jointly with its left-derivative process.
