On absolute continuity and singularity of multidimensional diffusions

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: Consider two laws (P) and (Q) of multidimensional possibly explosive diffusions with common diffusion coefficient (mathfrak{a}) and drift coefficients (mathfrak{b}) and (mathfrak{b} + mathfrak{a} mathfrak{c}), respectively, and the law (P^circ) of an auxiliary diffusion with diffusion coefficient (langle mathfrak{c},mathfrak{a}mathfrak{c} angle^{-1}mathfrak{a}) and drift coefficient (langle mathfrak{c}, mathfrak{a}mathfrak{c} angle^{-1}mathfrak{b}). We show that (P ll Q) if and only if the auxiliary diffusion (P^circ) explodes almost surely and that (Pperp Q) if and only if the auxiliary diffusion (P^circ) almost surely does not explode. As applications we derive a Khasminskii-type integral test for absolute continuity and singularity, an integral test for explosion of time-changed Brownian motion, and we discuss applications to mathematical finance.
