EXPLICIT STRONG SOLUTIONS OF MULTIDIMENSIONAL STOCHASTIC DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

Herein, we characterize strong solutions of multidimensional stochastic differential equations (formula) that can be represented locally as (formula) where W is an multidimensional Brownian motion and U, (symbole) are continuous functions. Assuming that (symbole) is continuously differentiable, we find that (symbole) must satisfy a commutation relation for such explicit solutions to exist and we identify all drift terms b as well as U and (symbole) that will allow X to be represented in this manner. Our method is based on the existence of a local change of coordinates in terms of a diffeomorphism between the solutions X and the strong solutions to a simpler Ito integral equation.
