The drift has derivative , so . Hence it is globally Lipschitz. The diffusion coefficient is globally Lipschitz as well, and both coefficients satisfy a linear growth bound.
The global existence theorem for stochastic differential equations with Lipschitz coefficients states that globally Lipschitz coefficients with linear growth give, for each deterministic initial point, an adapted continuous strong solution of a stochastic differential equation on every finite interval, with pathwise uniqueness and no finite-time explosion. Applying this theorem gives a unique strong solution for every , satisfying
On define . Differentiation gives
The mean value theorem proves Lipschitz continuity of on , with constant .
If an endpoint of is finite, the Lipschitz bound gives a finite limiting value of there. That value must be zero. Otherwise would be bounded below by a positive number near the endpoint, and
would make approach a finite limit, contradicting its tending to or . The zero extension of a scale diffusion coefficient at finite endpoints therefore gives a globally Lipschitz function on : set it to zero beyond each finite endpoint and retain on .
Use the following standard global existence theorem for stochastic differential equations with Lipschitz coefficients: globally Lipschitz drift and diffusion coefficients give a nonexplosive, pathwise unique strong stochastic solution for every prescribed initial state and driving Brownian motion. Global Lipschitz continuity also gives the required linear-growth bound. Apply it to
It remains to check that stays in , so the inverse transform is defined.
Before the first boundary time, put . Since and , the Itô formula, stopped inside compact subintervals of , yields
For each finite , up to that boundary time,
A finite endpoint of would require to diverge, which this bound excludes. Therefore stays in at every finite time, and is a global strong stochastic solution.
Finally, any two solutions driven by the same transform into solutions of the globally Lipschitz equation. Its pathwise uniqueness makes the transforms, and hence their inverses, indistinguishable. Thus
