We study the weak limits of solutions to SDEs [dX_n(t)=a_nbigl(X_n(t)bigr),dt+dW(t),] where the sequence ${a_n}$ converges in some sense to $(c_- 1mkern-4.5mumathrm{l}_{x<0}+c_+ 1mkern-4.5mumathrm{l}_{x>0})/x+gammadelta_0$. Here $delta_0$ is the Dirac delta function concentrated at zero. A limit of ${X_n}$ may be a Bessel process, a skew Bessel process, or a mixture of Bessel processes.
Mathematical mean-field approaches play an important role in different fields of Physics and Chemistry, but have found in recent works also their application in Economics, Finance and Game Theory. The objective of our paper is to investigate a special mean-field problem in a purely stochastic approach: for the solution $(Y,Z)$ of a mean-field backward stochastic differential equation driven by a forward stochastic differential of McKean--Vlasov type with solution $X$ we study a special approximation by the solution $(X^N,Y^N,Z^N)$ of some decoupled forward--backward equation which coefficients are governed by $N$ independent copies of $(X^N,Y^N,Z^N)$. We show that the convergence speed of this approximation is of order $1/sqrt{N}$. Moreover, our special choice of the approximation allows to characterize the limit behavior of $sqrt{N}(X^N-X,Y^N-Y,Z^N-Z)$. We prove that this triplet converges in law to the solution of some forward--backward stochastic differential equation of mean-field type, which is not only governed by a Brownian motion but also by an independent Gaussian field.
We solve a class of BSDE with a power function $f(y) = y^q$, $q > 1$, driving its drift and with the terminal boundary condition $ xi = infty cdot mathbf{1}_{B(m,r)^c}$ (for which $q > 2$ is assumed) or $ xi = infty cdot mathbf{1}_{B(m,r)}$, where $B(m,r)$ is the ball in the path space $C([0,T])$ of the underlying Brownian motion centered at the constant function $m$ and radius $r$. The solution involves the derivation and solution of a related heat equation in which $f$ serves as a reaction term and which is accompanied by singular and discontinuous Dirichlet boundary conditions. Although the solution of the heat equation is discontinuous at the corners of the domain the BSDE has continuous sample paths with the prescribed terminal value.
We consider a particle undergoing Brownian motion in Euclidean space of any dimension, forced by a Gaussian random velocity field that is white in time and smooth in space. We show that conditional on the velocity field, the quenched density of the particle after a long time can be approximated pointwise by the product of a deterministic Gaussian density and a spacetime-stationary random field $U$. If the velocity field is additionally assumed to be incompressible, then $Uequiv 1$ almost surely and we obtain a local central limit theorem.
Let ${u(t,,x)}_{tge 0, xin mathbb{R}^d}$ denote the solution of a $d$-dimensional nonlinear stochastic heat equation that is driven by a Gaussian noise, white in time with a homogeneous spatial covariance that is a finite Borel measure $f$ and satisfies Dalangs condition. We prove two general functional central limit theorems for occupation fields of the form $N^{-d} int_{mathbb{R}^d} g(u(t,,x)) psi(x/N), mathrm{d} x$ as $Nrightarrow infty$, where $g$ runs over the class of Lipschitz functions on $mathbb{R}^d$ and $psiin L^2(mathbb{R}^d)$. The proof uses Poincare-type inequalities, Malliavin calculus, compactness arguments, and Paul Levys classical characterization of Brownian motion as the only mean zero, continuous Levy process. Our result generalizes central limit theorems of Huang et al cite{HuangNualartViitasaari2018,HuangNualartViitasaariZheng2019} valid when $g(u)=u$ and $psi = mathbf{1}_{[0,1]^d}$.
We provide the dual result of the Yamada-Watanabe theorem for mild solutions to semilinear stochastic partial differential equations with path-dependent coefficients. An essential tool is the so-called method of the moving frame, which allows us to reduce the proof to infinite dimensional stochastic differential equations.
