Explosion threshold for a Bernoulli stochastic differential equation
ID: explosion-threshold-for-a-bernoulli-stochastic-differential-equation
The explicit Bernoulli stochastic differential equation solution remains positive and finite on every finite interval when . For it diverges when the displayed integral reaches its threshold. At this occurs deterministically. At , Brownian motion has positive probability of making the integral exceed any threshold on a fixed interval, so global existence is not almost sure. The distinction between positive explosion probability and certain explosion matters: the negative linear drift of makes its total positive-power exponential integral finite almost surely when .
