A bounded drift cannot be uniformly strictly dissipative on the real line (∣b∣≤B⟹no global k>0 contraction)

If ∣b∣≤B, then 2(x−y)(b(x)−b(y))+(σ(x)−σ(y))2≥−4B∣x−y∣. It cannot also be at most −k∣x−y∣2 for every pair on the real line when k>0. Global strict dissipativity thus requires relaxing global boundedness of the drift; linear confining drifts give natural compatible examples.
