The scalar stochastic differential equation dXt​=tanhXt​dt+dWt​ has a pathwise unique global strong solution, since its coefficients are globally Lipschitz. The positive martingale et/2/coshXt​ gives a Girsanov theorem change of measure under which Xt​−X0​ is Brownian motion. For X0​=x, its transition density is
pt​(x,z)=e−t/2coshxcoshz​(2πt)−1/2e−(z−x)2/(2t).

This is a Doob h-transform with h=cosh, and a mixture of N(x+t,t) and N(x−t,t) with weights ex/(2coshx) and e−x/(2coshx).
