We study the Lp rate of convergence of the Milstein scheme for SDEs when the drift coefficients possess only Hölder regularity. If the diffusion is elliptic and sufficiently regular, we obtain rates consistent with the additive case. The proof relies on regularisation by noise techniques, particularly stochastic sewing, which in turn requires (at least asymptotically) sharp estimates on the law of the Milstein scheme, which may be of independent interest.
We consider a generic and explicit tamed Euler--Maruyama scheme for multidimensional time-inhomogeneous stochastic differential equations with multiplicative Brownian noise. The diffusion coefficient is uniformly elliptic, Hölder continuous and weakly differentiable in the spatial variables while the drift satisfies the Ladyzhenskaya--Prodi--Serrin condition, as considered by Krylov and Röckner (2005). In the discrete scheme, the drift is tamed by replacing it by an approximation. A strong rate of convergence of the scheme is provided in terms of the approximation error of the drift in a suitable and possibly very weak topology. A few examples of approximating drifts are discussed in detail. The parameters of the approximating drifts can vary and be fine-tuned to achieve the standard 1/2-strong convergence rate with a logarithmic factor. The result is then applied to provide numerical solutions for stochastic transport equations with singular vector fields satisfying the aforementioned condition.
We investigate the space-time regularity of the local time associated with Volterra–Lévy processes, including Volterra processes driven by α-stable processes for α E (0,2]. We show that the spatial regularity of the local time for Volterra–Lévy process is P-a.s. inverse proportional to the singularity of the associated Volterra kernel. We apply our results to the investigation of path-wise regularizing effects obtained by perturbation of ordinary differential equations by a Volterra–Lévy process which has sufficiently regular local time. Following along the lines of Harang and Perkowski (2020), we show existence, uniqueness and differentiability of the flow associated with such equations.
In this paper, we prove the existence and uniqueness of maximally defined strong solutions to SDEs driven by multiplicative noise on general space-time domains Q⊂R+×Rd, which have continuous paths on the one-point compactification Q∪∂ of Q where ∂∉Q and Q∪∂ is equipped with the Alexandrov topology. If the SDE is of gradient type (see (2.5) below) we prove that under suitable Lyapunov type conditions the life time of the solution is infinite and its distribution has sub-Gaussian tails. This generalizes earlier work \cite{KR} by Krylov and one of the authors to the case where the noise is multiplicative.
We show that any stochastic differential equation (SDE) driven by Brownian motion with drift satisfying the Krylov-Röckner condition has exactly one solution in an ordinary sense for almost every trajectory of the Brownian motion. Additionally, we show that such SDE is strongly complete, i.e. for almost every trajectory of the Brownian motion, the family of solutions with different initial data forms a continuous semiflow for all nonnegative times.
We prove several stability estimates, comparing solutions driven by different (bi,σi), both for Itô and Stratonovich SDEs, possibly depending on negative Sobolev norms of the difference b1−b2. We then discuss several applications of these results to McKean–Vlasov SDEs, criteria for strong compactness of solutions and Wong–Zakai type theorems.
We provide a framework for studying the expansion rate of the image of a bounded set under a flow in Euclidean space and apply it to stochastic differential equations (SDEs for short) with singular coefficients. If the singular drift of the SDE can be split into two terms, one of which is singular and the radial component of the other term has a radial component of sufficient strength in the direction of the origin, then the random dynamical system generated by the SDE admits a pullback attractor.
