On weak solutions of stochastic differential equations with sharp drift coefficients

Abstract: We extend Krylov and R\"{o}ckner's result \cite{KR} to the drift coefficients in critical Lebesgue space, and prove the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions for a class of SDEs. To be more precise, let $b: [0,T]\times{\mathbb R}^d\rightarrow{\mathbb R}^d$ be Borel measurable, where $T>0$ is arbitrarily fixed. Consider $$X_t=x+\int_0^tb(s,X_s)ds+W_t,\quad t\in[0,T], \, x\in{\mathbb R}^d,$$ where ${W_t}{t\in[0,T]}$ is a $d$-dimensional standard Wiener process. If $b=b_1+b_2$ such that $b_1(T-\cdot)\in\mathcal{C}_q^0((0,T];L^p({\mathbb R}^d))$ with $2/q+d/p=1$ for $p,q\ge1$ and $|b_1(T-\cdot)|{\mathcal{C}_q((0,T];L^p({\mathbb R}^d))}$ is sufficiently small, and that $b_2$ is bounded and Borel measurable, then there exits a unique weak solution to the above equation. Furthermore, we obtain the strong Feller property of the semi-group and existence of density associated with above SDE. Besides, we extend the classical partial differential equations (PDEs) results for $L^q(0,T;L^p({\mathbb R}^d))$ coefficients to $L^\infty_q(0,T;L^p({\mathbb R}^d))$ ones, and derive the Lipschitz regularity for solutions of second order parabolic PDEs (see Lemma 2.1).
