Diffusions and stochastic differential equations

Construct stochastic evolution through Ito integration, existence theory, generators, transition laws, and changes of measure.

  1. 01

    Brownian paths and quadratic variation

    Specify the filtration and convergence mode behind Brownian roughness and its quadratic clock.

    28 min
  2. 02

    Itô integral construction and isometry

    Complete predictable step integrands in mean square and retain the information restriction.

    29 min
  3. 03

    Itô formula and semimartingales

    Derive the curvature correction and state the local integrability behind the differential shorthand.

    30 min
  4. 04

    Strong and weak solutions

    Separate a solution built from given noise from a solution specified jointly with its probability space.

    30 min
  5. 05

    Lipschitz existence and pathwise uniqueness

    Use Picard iteration and stopped moment estimates without confusing local solvability with nonexplosion.

    31 min
  6. 06

    Diffusion generators and martingale problems

    Read local stochastic dynamics through test functions while keeping the operator domain explicit.

    32 min
  7. 07

    Kolmogorov backward and forward equations

    32 min
  8. 08

    Feynman–Kac representations

    Represent bounded PDE solutions by weighted paths while checking integrability, killing, and boundary data.

    33 min
  9. 09

    Girsanov theorem and drift changes

    Choose a valid density martingale and track the Brownian and drift signs under the new measure.

    33 min
  10. 10

    Stochastic flows and boundary classification
