Support characterization for regular path-dependent stochastic Volterra integral equations

Abstract: We consider a stochastic Volterra integral equation with regular path-dependent coefficients and a Brownian motion as integrator in a multidimensional setting. Under an imposed absolute continuity condition, the unique solution is a semimartingale that admits almost surely H\"older continuous paths. Based on functional It^o calculus, we prove that the support of its law in the H\"older norm can be described by a flow of mild solutions to ordinary integro-differential equations that are constructed by means of the vertical derivative of the diffusion coefficient.
