If X is a d-dimensional uniformly elliptic diffusion, with initial law nu, we show that F(X) is a Dirichlet process, whenever F satisfies an integrability condition linking its weak derivative to the coefficients of the diffusion and the…

Extending It\^o's formula to non-smooth functions is important both in theory and applications. One of the fairly general extensions of the formula, known as Meyer-It\^o, applies to one dimensional semimartingales and convex functions.…

We show an It\^ o's formula for nondegenerate Brownian martingales $X_t=\int_0^t u_s dW_s$ and functions $F(x,t)$ with locally integrable derivatives in $t$ and $x$. We prove that one can express the additional term in It\^o's s formula as…

We give lower bounds for the density $p_T(x,y)$ of the law of $X_t$, the solution of $dX_t=\sigma (X_t) dB_t+b(X_t) dt,X_0=x,$ under the following local ellipticity hypothesis: there exists a deterministic differentiable curve $x_t, 0\leq…

We find explicit upper bounds for the density of marginals of continuous diffusions where we assume that the diffusion coefficient is constant and the drift is solely assumed to be progressively measurable and locally bounded. In one…

The aim of this paper is to develop a sequence of discrete approximations to a one-dimensional It\^o diffusion that almost surely converges to a weak solution of the given stochastic differential equation. Under suitable conditions, the…

We consider the solution $u(x,t)$ to a stochastic heat equation. For fixed $x$, the process $F(t)=u(x,t)$ has a nontrivial quartic variation. It follows that $F$ is not a semimartingale, so a stochastic integral with respect to $F$ cannot…

In these lecture notes, we explore the mathematical preliminaries and foundational concepts that connect stochastic processes with partial differential equations. We begin by investigating Brownian motion, which serves as a model for random…

Let $(X_t)$ be a reflected diffusion process in a bounded convex domain in $\mathbb R^d$, solving the stochastic differential equation $$dX_t = \nabla f(X_t) dt + \sqrt{2f (X_t)} dW_t, ~t \ge 0,$$ with $W_t$ a $d$-dimensional Brownian…

In this work, we establish pathwise functional It\^o formulas for non-smooth functionals of real-valued continuous semimartingales. Under finite $(p,q)$-variation regularity assumptions in the sense of two-dimensional Young integration…

The diffusive dynamics of a particle in a medium with space-dependent friction coefficient is studied within the framework of the inertial Langevin equation. In this description, the ambiguous interpretation of the stochastic integral,…

In this paper we first establish an It\^o formula for a finite quadratic variation process $X$ expanding $f(t,X_t),$ when $f$ is of class $C^2$ in space and is absolutely continuous in time. Second, via a Fukushima-Dirichlet decomposition…

Given a real valued and time-inhomogeneous martingale diffusion X, we investigate the properties of functions defined by the conditional expectation f(t,X_t)=E[g(X_T)|F_t]. We show that whenever g is monotonic or Lipschitz continuous then…

We consider the stochastic convection-diffusion equation \[ \partial_t u(t\,,{\bf x}) =\nu\Delta u(t\,,{\bf x}) + V(t\,,x_1)\partial_{x_2}u(t\,,{\bf x}), \] for $t>0$ and ${\bf x}=(x_1\,,x_2)\in\mathbb{R}^2$, subject to $\theta_0$ being a…

We show that, simultaneous local scaling of coordinate and time keeping the velocity unaltered is a symmetry of an It\^o-process. Using this symmetry, any It\^o-process can be mapped to a universal additive Gaussian-noise form. We use this…

We prove the solvability of It\^o stochastic equations with uniformly nondegenerate, bounded, measurable diffusion and drift in $L_{d+1}(\mathbb{R}^{d+1})$. Actually, the powers of summability of the drift in $x$ and $t$ could be different.…
