Pinned diffusions and Markov bridges

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: In this article we consider a family of real-valued diffusion processes on the time interval [0,1] indexed by their prescribed initial value xinmathbbR and another point in space, yinmathbbR. We first present an easy-to-check condition on their drift and diffusion coefficients ensuring that the diffusion is pinned in y at time t=1. Our main result then concerns the following question: can this family of pinned diffusions be obtained as the bridges either of a Gaussian Markov process or of an It^o diffusion? We eventually illustrate our precise answer with several examples.
