A Simple Stochastic Differential Equation with Discontinuous Drift

چکیده
In this paper we study solutions to stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with discontinuous drift. We apply two approaches: The Euler-Maruyama method and the Fokker-Planck equation and show that a candidate density function based on the Euler-Maruyama method approximates a candidate density function based on the stationary Fokker-Planck equation. Furthermore, we introduce a smooth function which approximates the discontinuous drift and apply the Euler-Maruyama method and the Fokker-Planck equation with this input. The point of departure for this work is a particular SDE with discontinuous drift.

A Note on Strong Solutions of Stochastic Differential Equations with a Discontinuous Drift Coefficient
The existence of a mean-square continuous strong solution is established for vectorvalued Itô stochastic differential equations with a discontinuous drift coefficient, which is an increasing function, and with a Lipschitz continuous diffusion coefficient. A scalar stochastic differential equation with the Heaviside function as its drift coefficient is considered as an example. Upper and lower s...
متن کاملStochastic averaging for SDEs with Hopf Drift and polynomial diffusion coefficients
It is known that a stochastic differential equation (SDE) induces two probabilistic objects, namely a difusion process and a stochastic flow. While the diffusion process is determined by the innitesimal mean and variance given by the coefficients of the SDE, this is not the case for the stochastic flow induced by the SDE. In order to characterize the stochastic flow uniquely the innitesimal cov...
متن کاملOn Weak Approximation of Stochastic Differential Equations with Discontinuous Drift Coefficient1
In this paper, weak approximations of multi-dimensional stochastic differential equations with discontinuous drift coefficients are considered. Here as the approximated process, the Euler-Maruyama approximation of SDEs with approximated drift coefficients is used, and we provide a rate of weak convergence of them. Finally we present a rate of weak convergence of the Euler-Maruyama approximation...
متن کاملStochastic Flows of Sdes with Irregular Coefficients and Stochastic Transport Equations
Abstract. In this article we study (possibly degenerate) stochastic differential equations (SDE) with irregular (or discontiuous) coefficients, and prove that under certain conditions on the coefficients, there exists a unique almost everywhere stochastic (invertible) flow associated with the SDE in the sense of Lebesgue measure. In the case of constant diffusions and BV drifts, we obtain such ...
متن کاملLocal Discontinuous Galerkin Method for the Stochastic Heat Equation
In this paper we study the Local Discontinuous Galerkin scheme for solving the stochastic heat equation driven by the space white noise. We begin by giving a brief introduction to stochastic processes, stochastic differential equations, and their importance in the modern mathematical context. From there, using an example stochastic elliptic partial differential equation, we approximate the whit...
