Abstract

In our paper [Bernoulli 26(2), 2020, 1381-1409], we found all strong Markov solutions that spend zero time at 00 of the Stratonovich stochastic differential equation dX=XαdBd X=|X|^{\alpha}\circ dB, α(0,1)\alpha\in (0,1). These solutions have the form Xtθ=F(Btθ)X_t^\theta=F(B^\theta_t), where F(x)=11αx1/(1α)signxF(x)=\frac{1}{1-\alpha}|x|^{1/(1-\alpha)}\text{sign}\, x and BθB^\theta is the skew Brownian motion with skewness parameter θ[1,1]\theta\in [-1,1] starting at F1(X0)F^{-1}(X_0). In this paper we show how an addition of small external additive noise εW\varepsilon W restores uniqueness. In the limit as ε0\varepsilon\to 0, we recover heterogeneous diffusion corresponding to the physically symmetric case θ=0\theta=0.
