Abstract

We extend Krylov and R\"{o}ckner's result \cite{KR} to the drift coefficients in critical Lebesgue space, and prove the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions for a class of SDEs. To be more precise, let b:[0,T]×RdRdb: [0,T]\times{\mathbb R}^d\rightarrow{\mathbb R}^d be Borel measurable, where T>0T>0 is arbitrarily fixed. Consider Xt=x+0tb(s,Xs)ds+Wt,t[0,T],xRd,X_t=x+\int_0^tb(s,X_s)ds+W_t,\quad t\in[0,T], \, x\in{\mathbb R}^d, where {Wt}t[0,T]\{W_t\}_{t\in[0,T]} is a dd-dimensional standard Wiener process. If b=b1+b2b=b_1+b_2 such that b1(T)Cq0((0,T];Lp(Rd))b_1(T-\cdot)\in\mathcal{C}_q^0((0,T];L^p({\mathbb R}^d)) with 2/q+d/p=12/q+d/p=1 for p,q1p,q\ge1 and b1(T)Cq((0,T];Lp(Rd))\|b_1(T-\cdot)\|_{\mathcal{C}_q((0,T];L^p({\mathbb R}^d))} is sufficiently small, and that b2b_2 is bounded and Borel measurable, then there exits a unique weak solution to the above equation. Furthermore, we obtain the strong Feller property of the semi-group and existence of density associated with above SDE. Besides, we extend the classical partial differential equations (PDEs) results for Lq(0,T;Lp(Rd))L^q(0,T;L^p({\mathbb R}^d)) coefficients to Lq(0,T;Lp(Rd))L^\infty_q(0,T;L^p({\mathbb R}^d)) ones, and derive the Lipschitz regularity for solutions of second order parabolic PDEs (see Lemma 2.1).
