By analogy with the theory of Backward Stochastic Differential Equations, we define Backward Stochastic Difference Equations on spaces related to discrete time, finite state processes. This paper considers these processes as constructions…
We solve multidimensional SDEs with distributional drift driven by symmetric, $\alpha$-stable L\'evy processes for $\alpha\in (1,2]$ by studying the associated (singular) martingale problem and by solving the Kolmogorov backward equation.…
We give sufficient criteria for the Dol\'eans-Dade exponential of a stochastic integral with respect to a counting process local martingale to be a true martingale. The criteria are adapted particularly to the case of counting processes and…
By using a simple observation that the density processes appearing in Ito's martingale representation theorem are invariant under the change of measures, we establish a non-linear version of the Cameron-Martin formula for solutions of a…
This paper considers a general one-dimensional stochastic differential equation (SDE). A particular attention is given to the SDEs that may be transformed (via Ito's formula) into:$$d X\_t = ( \bar{B} (X\_t) - b X\_t) d t + \sqrt{X\_t} d…
We consider a general piecewise deterministic Markov process (PDMP) $X=\{X_t\}_{t\geqslant 0}$ with measure-valued generator $\mathcal{A}$, for which the conditional distribution function of the inter-occurrence time is not necessarily…
The martingale expansion provides a refined approximation to the marginal distributions of martingales beyond the normal approximation implied by the martingale central limit theorem. We develop a martingale expansion framework specifically…
We study the following backward stochastic differential equation on finite time horizon driven by an integer-valued random measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb R_+\times E$, where $E$ is a Lusin space, with compensator $\nu(dt,dx)=dA_t\,\phi_t(dx)$:…
This paper is addressed to the well-posedness of some linear and semilinear backward stochastic differential equations with general filtration, without using the Martingale Representation Theorem. The point of our approach is to introduce a…
We propose a novel approach for computing committor functions, which describe transitions of a stochastic process between metastable states. The committor function satisfies a backward Kolmogorov equation, and in typical high-dimensional…
A stochastic solution is constructed for a fractional generalization of the KPP (Kolmogorov, Petrovskii, Piskunov) equation. The solution uses a fractional generalization of the branching exponential process and propagation processes which…
We analyze infinite-dimensional non-linear degenerate stochastic differential equations with multiplicative noise. First, essential m-dissipativity of their associated Kolmogorov backward generators on $L^2(\mu^{\Phi})$ defined on smooth…
Let $(\mathcal{E},D(\mathcal{E}))$ be a quasi-regular semi-Dirichlet form and $(X_t)_{t\geq0}$ be the associated Markov process. For $u\in D(\mathcal{E})_{loc}$, denote $A_t^{[u]}:=\tilde{u}(X_{t})-\tilde{u}(X_{0})$ and…
Let $(W,H,\mu)$ be the classical Wiener space on $\R^d$. Assume that $X=(X_t)$ is a diffusion process satisfying the stochastic differential equation $dX_t=\sigma(t,X)dB_t+b(t,X)dt$, where $\sigma:[0,1]\times C([0,1],\R^n)\to \R^n\otimes…
In this paper we study the class of backward doubly stochastic differential equations (BDSDEs, for short) whose terminal value depends on the history of forward diffusion. We first establish a probabilistic representation for the spatial…
The main objective consists in generalizing a well-known It{\^o} formula of J. Jacod and A. Shiryaev: given a c{\`a}dl{\`a}g process S, there is an equivalence between the fact that S is a semimartingale with given characteristics (B^k , C,…
The evolution of a continuous time Markov process with a finite number of states is usually calculated by the Master equation - a linear differential equations with a singular generator matrix. We derive a general method for reducing the…
In this paper, we study the non-linear backward problems (with deterministic or stochastic durations) of stochastic differential equations on the Sierpinski gasket. We prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions of backward stochastic…
It is well-known that well-posedness of a martingale problem in the class of continuous (or r.c.l.l.) solutions enables one to construct the associated transition probability functions. We extend this result to the case when the martingale…
The paper is concerned with stochastic equations for the short rate process $R$ $$ dR(t)=F(R(t))dt+G(R(t-))dZ(t), $$ in the affine model of the bond prices. The equation is driven by a L\'evy martingale $Z$. It is shown that the discounted…
