Stieltjes integrals of H\"older continuous functions with applications to fractional Brownian motion

This article is devoted to the existence and uniqueness of pathwise solutions to stochastic evolution equations, driven by a H\"older continuous function with H\"older exponent in $(1/2,1)$, and with nontrivial multiplicative noise. As a particular situation, we shall consider the case where the equation is driven by a fractional Brownian motion $B^H$ with Hurst parameter $H>1/2$. In contrast to the article by Maslowski and Nualart, we present here an existence and uniqueness...

In this article we are concerned with the study of the existence and uniqueness of pathwise mild solutions to evolutions equations driven by a H\"older continuous function with H\"older exponent in $(1/3,1/2)$. Our stochastic integral is a generalization of the well-known Young integral. To be more precise, the integral is defined by using a fractional integration by parts formula and it involves a tensor for which we need to formulate a new equation. From this it turns out t...

In this paper, high-order moment, even exponential moment, estimates are established for the H\"older norm of solutions to stochastic differential equations driven by fractional Brownian motion whose drifts are measurable and have linear growth. As applications, we first study the weak uniqueness of solutions to fractional stochastic differential equations. Moreover, combining our estimates and the Fourier transform, we establish the existence of density of solutions to equat...

We derive estimates for the solutions to differential equations driven by a H\"older continuous function of order $\beta>1/2$. As an application we deduce the existence of moments for the solutions to stochastic partial differential equations driven by a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter $H>{1/2}$.

For a fractional Brownian motion $B^H$ with Hurst parameter $H\in]{1/4},{1/2}[\cup]{1/2},1[$, multiple indefinite integrals on a simplex are constructed and the regularity of their sample paths are studied. Then, it is proved that the family of probability laws of the processes obtained by replacing $B^H$ by $\epsilon^{{1/2}} B^H$ satisfies a large deviation principle in H\"older norm. The definition of the multiple integrals relies upon a representation of the fractional Bro...

We apply the techniques of stochastic integration with respect to fractional Brownian motion and the theory of regularity and supremum estimation for stochastic processes to study the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) for the drift parameter of stochastic processes satisfying stochastic equations driven by a fractional Brownian motion with any level of H\"{o}lder-regularity (any Hurst parameter). We prove existence and strong consistency of the MLE for linear and nonlinear e...

In this article we study effects that small perturbations in the noise have to the solution of differential equations driven by H\"older continuous functions of order $H>\frac12$. As an application, we consider stochastic differential equations driven by a fractional Brownian motion. We introduce a Wong--Zakai type stationary approximation to the fractional Brownian motions and prove that it converges in a suitable space. Moreover, we provide sharp results on the rate of conv...

Combining fractional calculus and the Rough Path Theory we study the existence and uniqueness of mild solutions to evolutions equations driven by a H\"older continuous function with H\"older exponent in $(1/3,1/2)$. Our stochastic integral is in some sense a generalization of the well-known Young integral and can be defined independently of the initial condition. Similar to the Rough Path Theory we establish a second variable which is given, roughly speaking, by a tensor prod...

We study the Taylor expansion for the solution of a differential equation driven by a multidimensional Holder path with exponent \beta> 1/2. We derive a convergence criterion that enables us to write the solution as an infinite sum of iterated integrals on a nonempty interval. We apply our deterministic results to stochastic differential equations driven by fractional Brownian motions with Hurst parameter H > 1\2. We also prove that by using L_2 estimates of iterated integra...

The paper suggests a way of stochastic integration of random integrands with respect to fractional Brownian motion with the Hurst parameter H> 1/2. The integral is defined initially on the processes that are "piecewise" predictable on a short horizon. Then the integral is extended on a wide class of square integrable adapted random processes. This class is described via a mild restriction on the growth rate of the conditional mean square error for the forecast on an arbitrari...
