On pathwise uniqueness for stochastic differential equations driven by stable Lévy processes (1011.0532v1)

Abstract: We study a one-dimensional stochastic differential equation driven by a stable L\'evy process of order $\alpha$ with drift and diffusion coefficients $b,\sigma$. When $\alpha\in (1,2)$, we investigate pathwise uniqueness for this equation. When $\alpha\in (0,1)$, we study another stochastic differential equation, which is equivalent in law, but for which pathwise uniqueness holds under much weaker conditions. We obtain various results, depending on whether $\alpha\in (0,1)$ or $\alpha \in (1,2)$ and on whether the driving stable process is symmetric or not. Our assumptions involve the regularity and monotonicity of $b$ and $\sigma$.
