We define a vector Z of square integrable stochastic processes with the following property: if the filtration of the translated Brownian motion obtained from the Girsanov transform coincides with the one of the driving noise then Z coincides with the unique strong solution of the equation; otherwise the process Z solves in the strong sense a related stochastic differential inequality. This fact together with an additional assumption will provide a comparison result similar to well known theorems obtained in the presence of strong solutions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-07-12T13:38:45.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60H10" ], "keywords": [ "novikov-type condition", "comparison theorem", "standard n-dimensional brownian motion", "stochastic differential equations driven", "comparison result similar" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1307.3455L" } } }
