Perturbations of singular fractional SDEs (2208.01961v2)

Abstract: We obtain well-posedness results for a class of ODE with a singular drift and additive fractional noise, whose right-hand-side involves some bounded variation terms depending on the solution. Examples of such equations are reflected equations, where the solution is constrained to remain in a rectangular domain, as well as so-called perturbed equations, where the dynamics depend on the running extrema of the solution. Our proof is based on combining the Catellier-Gubinelli approach based on Young nonlinear integration, with some Lipschitz estimates in $p$-variation for maps of Skorokhod type, due to Falkowski and S{\l}ominski. An important step requires to prove that fractional Brownian motion, when perturbed by sufficiently regular paths (in the sense of $p$-variation), retains its regularization properties. This is done by applying a variant of the stochastic sewing lemma.
