In this paper, we study (strong and weak) existence and uniqueness of a class of non-Markovian SDEs whose drift contains the derivative in the sense of distributionsof a continuous function.
We prove the unique weak solvability of time-inhomogeneous stochastic differential equations with additive noises and drifts in critical Lebsgue space $L^q([0,T]; L^{p}(mathbb{R}^d))$ with $d/p+2/q=1$. The weak uniqueness is obtained by solving corresponding Kolmogorovs backward equations in some second order Sobolev spaces, which is analytically interesting in itself.
We investigate the well-posedness of distribution dependent SDEs with singular coefficients. Existence is proved when the diffusion coefficient satisfies some non-degeneracy and mild regularity assumptions, and the drift coefficient satisfies an integrability condition and a continuity condition with respect to the (generalized) total variation distance. Uniqueness is also obtained under some additional Lipschitz type continuity assumptions.
We obtain $T_2(C)$ for stochastic differential equations with Dini continuous drift and $T_1(C)$ stochastic differential equations with singular coefficients.
Forward-backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDEs) have attracted significant attention since they were introduced almost 30 years ago, due to their wide range of applications, from solving non-linear PDEs to pricing American-type options. Here, we consider two new classes of multidimensional FBSDEs with distributional coefficients (elements of a Sobolev space with negative order). We introduce a suitable notion of a solution, show existence and uniqueness of a strong solution of the first FBSDE, and weak existence for the second. We establish a link with PDE theory via a nonlinear Feynman-Kac representation formula. The associated semi-linear second order parabolic PDE is the same for both FBSDEs, also involves distributional coefficients and has not previously been investigated; our analysis uses mild solutions, Sobolev spaces and semigroup theory.
We establish the existence of smooth densities for solutions to a broad class of path-dependent SDEs under a Hormander-type condition. The classical scheme based on the reduced Malliavin matrix turns out to be unavailable in the path-dependent context. We approach the problem by lifting the given $n$-dimensional path-dependent SDE into a suitable $L_p$-type Banach space in such a way that the lifted Banach-space-valued equation becomes a state-dependent reformulation of the original SDE. We then formulate Hormanders bracket condition in $mathbb R^n$ for non-anticipative SDE coefficients defining the Lie brackets in terms of vertical derivatives in the sense of the functional It^o calculus. Our pathway to the main result engages an interplay between the analysis of SDEs in Banach spaces, Malliavin calculus, and rough path techniques.
