Young Differential Equations with Power Type Nonlinearities

Abstract: In this note we give several methods to construct nontrivial solutions to the equation $dy_{t}=\sigma(y_{t}) \, dx_{t}$, where $x$ is a $\gamma$-H\"older $R^{d}$-valued signal with $\gamma\in(1/2,1)$ and $\sigma$ is a function behaving like a power function $|\xi|^{\kappa}$, with $\kappa\in(0,1)$. In this situation, classical Young integration techniques allow to get existence and uniqueness results whenever $\gamma(\kappa+1)>1$, while we focus on cases where $\gamma(\kappa+1)\le 1$. Our analysis then relies on some extensions of Young's integral allowing to cover the situation at hand.
