Strong completeness of SDEs and non-explosion for RDEs with coefficients having unbounded derivatives

Abstract: We establish a non-explosion result for rough differential equations (RDEs) in which both the noise and drift coefficients together with their derivatives are allowed to grow at infinity. Additionally, we prove the existence of a bi-continuous solution flow for stochastic differential equations (SDEs). In the case of RDEs with additive noise, we show that our result is optimal by providing a counterexample.
