We construct planar semimartingales that include the Walsh Brownian motion as a special case, and derive Harrison-Shepp-type equations and a change-of-variable formula in the spirit of Freidlin-Sheu for these so-called "Walsh…

In this paper, we consider a class of stochastic control problems for stochastic differential equations with random coefficients. The control domain need not to be convex but the control process is not allowed to enter in diffusion term.…
