Advances in Difference Equations volume 2017, Article number: 386 (2017)
Abstract
We investigate the averaging principle for multivalued stochastic differential equations (MSDEs) driven by a random process under non-Lipschitz conditions. We consider the convergence of solutions in \(L^{p}~(p\geq2)\) and in probability between the MSDEs and the corresponding averaged MSDEs.
1 Introduction
Most systems in science and industry are perturbed by some random environmental effects described by stochastic differential equations with (fractional) Brownian motion, Lévy process, Poisson process, and so on. A series of useful theories and methods have been proposed to explore stochastic differential equations, such as invariant manifolds [1–3], averaging principle [3–12], homogenization principle, and so on. All these theories and methods develop to extract an effective dynamics from these stochastic differential equations, which is more effective for analysis and simulation. Averaging principle is often used to approximate dynamical systems with random fluctuations and provides a powerful tool for simplifying nonlinear dynamical systems. The essence of averaging principle is to establish an approximation theorem for a simplified stochastic differential equation that replaces the original one in some sense and the corresponding optimal order convergence. The theory of stochastic averaging principle has a long and rich history. It was first introduced by Khasminskii [13] in 1968, and since then, the principle for stochastic differential equations was intensively and extensively studied. Stoyanov and Bainov [11] investigated the averaging method for a class of stochastic differential equations with Poisson noise, proving that under some conditions the solutions of averaged systems converge to the solutions of the original systems in mean square and in probability. Xu, Duan, and Xu [4] established an averaging principle for stochastic differential equations with general non-Gaussian Lévy noise. Quite recently, \(L^{2}\) (mean square) strong averaging principle for multivalued stochastic differential equations with Brownian motion was established by Xu and Liu [14]. Note that all the works mentioned are under the Lipschitz condition; however, in the real world, the Lipschitz condition seems to be exceedingly harsh when discussing various applications. So it is necessary and significant to consider some non-Lipschitz cases; see [15].
In [16], the author discussed the existence and uniqueness of a solution in \(L^{p}\) (pth moment) sense for some multivalued stochastic differential equations under a non-Lipschitz condition. From the dynamic view, we concern the p-moment averaging principle for a multivalued stochastic differential equation under a non-Lipschitz condition, which is different from [14] under the Lipschitz condition. Although the method used in our paper is similar to that of [14], compared with the results of article [14], our conclusion is more general, as it is well known that the \(L^{2}\)-strong convergence does not imply \(L^{p} (p\geq2)\) strong convergence in general. Meanwhile, results for higher-order moments are needed that possess a good robustness and can be applied in computations in statistic, finance, and other aspects.
Recently, many authors considered multivalued and set-valued stochastic differential equations; see, for example, [17–20]. In this article, we study the averaging principle for MSDEs of the form
with \(t\in[0, T]\), where \(\mathcal{A}\) is a multivalued maximal monotone operator, which we introduce in the next section, \(f:[0,T]\times R^{d}\rightarrow R^{d}\) and \(g:[0,T]\times R^{d}\rightarrow R^{d}\) are measurable functions and satisfy non-Lipschitz conditions with respect to x. To derive the averaging principle for non-Lipschitz multivalued stochastic differential equation, we need some assumptions given in the next section.
This paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we give some assumptions for our theory and then introduce the definition of a multivalued maximal monotone operator and related results. The convergence of solutions in \(L^{p}\ (p\geq2)\) and in probability between the MSDEs and the corresponding averaged MSDEs are considered in Section 3.
Throughout this paper, the letter C will denote positive constants with values changing in different occasions. When necessary, we will explicitly write the dependence of constants on parameters.
2 Framework and preliminaries
2.1 Basic hypothesis
In this paper, we impose the following assumptions.
\(\mathbf{H1}\) Non-Lipschitz condition: Suppose that f and b are bounded and satisfy the following conditions:
For any \(x,y\in \mathbb{R}^{d}\) and \(t\in[0,T]\),
For \(0<\eta<\frac{1}{e}\), let \(\rho_{1,\eta},\rho_{2,\eta}\) be two concave functions defined by
Let \(\bar{f}:R^{d}\rightarrow R^{d}\) and \(\bar{g}:R^{d}\rightarrow R^{d}\) be measurable functions satisfying the Lipschitz conditions with respect to x as \(f(t,x)\) and \(g(x,t)\). Moreover, we assume that \(f(t,x),\bar{f}(x)\), \(g(x,t)\), and \(\bar{g}(x)\) satisfied the following conditions:
\(\mathbf{H2}\)
\(\mathbf{H3}\)
where \(\varphi_{i}(T), i=1,2\), are positive bounded functions; moreover, if T is fixed, then \(\varphi_{i}(T)\) is a constant, which means that \(\varphi_{i}(\cdot)\) only depends on time.
\(\mathbf{H4}\) The operator \(\mathcal{A}\) is a maximal monotone operator with \(D({\mathcal{A}})=\mathbb{R}^{d}\).
2.2 Multivalued operators and MSDEs
A map \(\mathcal{A}:\mathbb{R}^{d}\rightarrow2^{\mathbb{R}^{d}}\) is called a multivalued operator. Define the domain and image of \(\mathcal {A}\) as
and the graph of \(\mathcal{A}\) is
Definition 2.1
(1) A multivalued operator \(\mathcal{A}\) is called monotone if
(2) A monotone operator \(\mathcal{A}\) is called maximal monotone if and only if
Now, we give a precise definition of the solution to equation (1.1).
Definition 2.2
A pair of continuous and \(\mathcal{F}_{t}\)-adapted processes \((X, K)\) is called a strong solution of equation (1.1) if:
-
\(X_{0}=x\), and \(X(t)\in\overline{D(\mathcal{A})}\) a.s.;
-
\(K=\{K(t),\mathcal{F}_{t}; t\in R^{+}\}\) is of finite variation, and \(K(0)=0\) a.s.;
-
\(dX_{t}=f(t,X_{t})\,dt+g(t,X_{t})\,dZ_{t}-dK_{t}, t\in R^{+}\), a.s.;
-
for any continuous processes \((\alpha(t),\beta(t))\) satisfying
$$\bigl(\alpha(t),\beta(t)\bigr)\in \operatorname{Gr}(\mathcal{A}), \quad t\in R^{+}, $$the measure
$$\bigl\langle X(t)-\alpha(t), dK(t)-\beta(t)\,dt\bigr\rangle \geq0. $$
Also, we need the following lemma from [21].
Lemma 2.1
Let \(\mathcal{A}\) be a multivalued maximal monotone operator, let \(t\mapsto(X(t), K(t))\) and \(t\mapsto(\tilde{X}(t),\tilde{K}(t))\) be continuous functions with \(X(t),\tilde{X}(t)\in\overline{D(\mathcal {A})}\), and let \(t\mapsto K(t),\tilde{K}(t)\) be of finite variation. Let \((\alpha(t),\beta(t))\) be continuous functions satisfying
If
and
then
Lemma 2.2
([22])
Under \(\mathbf{H1}\) and \(\mathbf{H4}\), let the initial condition satisfy \(E \Vert x \Vert ^{2p}<+\infty\). For any \(p\geq1\) and \(0\leq t\leq T\), equation (1.1) has a unique solution satisfying
The following example and two lemmas are taken from [22].
Lemma 2.3
Let \(\rho:R^{+}\rightarrow R^{+}\) be a continuous nondecreasing function. If \(g(s)\) and \(q(s)\) are two strictly positive functions on \(R^{+}\) such that
then
where \(f(x):=\int_{x_{0}}^{x}\frac{1}{\rho(y)}\,dy\) is well-defined for some \(x_{0}>0\).
Example 2.1
For \(0<\eta<\frac{1}{e}\), define a concave function as
Choosing \(x_{0}=\eta\), we have
If \(g(0)<\eta\), then substituting these into (2.4), we obtain
Lemma 2.4
-
For \(j=1,2\), \(\rho_{j,\eta}\) is decreasing in η, that is, \(\rho_{j,\eta_{1}}\leq\rho_{j,\eta_{2}}\) if \(1>\eta_{1}>\eta_{2}\).
-
For any \(p\geq0\) and η sufficiently small, we have
$$x^{p} \rho^{j}_{j,\eta}(x)\leq\frac{1}{j+p} \rho_{1,\eta^{j+p}} \bigl(x^{j+p}\bigr),\quad j=1,2. $$
3 Averaging principle for MSDEs
In this section, we prove an averaging principle for multivalued stochastic differential equations (MSDEs) driven by a random process under non-Lipschitz conditions. We consider the convergence of solutions in \(L^{p}\ (p\geq2)\) and in probability between the MSDEs and the corresponding averaged MSDEs.
For \(t\in[0, T]\), consider
The standard form of (3.1) is defined as
and the corresponding averaged MSDEs of (3.2) are defined as
Here \(\overline{f}:R^{d}\rightarrow R^{d}\) and \(\overline {g}:R^{d}\rightarrow R^{d}\) are measurable functions satisfying the non-Lipschitz conditions with respect to x as \(f(t,x)\) and \(g(t,x)\), \(Y^{\epsilon}(0)=X^{\epsilon}(0)=x\), and \(f,\overline{f}\), \(g,\overline{g}\) satisfy \(\mathbf{H2}\) and \(\mathbf{H3}\).
Now, we are in the position to investigate the relationship between the processes \(X^{\epsilon}_{t}\) and \(Y^{\epsilon}_{t}\) .
Theorem 3.1
Suppose that conditions \(\mathbf{H1}\)-\(\mathbf{H4}\) hold. Then, for a given arbitrarily small number \(\delta>0\) and for \(\alpha\in(0, \frac{1}{2})\), there exists a number \(\tilde{\epsilon}\in(0, \epsilon_{0}]\) \((\epsilon_{0}=\frac{1}{16p^{2}})\) such that, for all \(\epsilon\in(0, \tilde{\epsilon})\) and \(p\geq1\), we have
Proof
Consider the difference \(X^{\epsilon}_{t}-Y^{\epsilon}_{t}\). From (3.2) and (3.3) we have
By Itô’s formula [23],
By Definition 2.2 and Lemma 2.1 we get
Then
We now estimate \(I_{1},I_{2},I_{3}, I_{4}\) separately.
Estimate of \(I_{1}\). Using the trigonometric inequality, we have
For \(I_{11}\), using the non-Lipschitz condition of f and the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality, we have
For \(I_{12}\), using the Hölder and Young inequalities, we deduce
Taking condition \(\mathbf{H 2}\), Lemma 2.2, and the Young inequality into account, we have
Finally, we have
Estimate of \(I_{2}\). Using the Burkholder-Davis-Gundy and Young inequalities, we have
In the following, we estimate
Using conditions \(\mathbf{H1}\) and \(\mathbf{H3}\) and the Young inequality, we get:
Combing the estimates of \(I_{21}\) and \(I_{22}\), we conclude that
Estimate of \(I_{3}\). Note that
Using the same estimate as for \(I_{22}\), we have
Estimate of \(I_{4}\). Using the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality, the term \(I_{4}\) has the same form with \(I_{3}\) with a different constant:
Combing the estimates of \(I_{1},I_{2} \mbox{ and } I_{3},I_{4}\), we have
Taking \(\sqrt{\epsilon}4p<1\), that is, \(\epsilon<\frac{1}{16p^{2}}\), we have
By Lemma 2.4 and the concavity of the function \(\rho_{1,\eta}\) we have
Note that, for sufficiently small ϵ, we have \(g(0)=\frac{\sqrt{\epsilon}C_{5}(p, \Vert x \Vert ,T,\epsilon)}{1-\sqrt {\epsilon}4p}\leq\eta<\frac{1}{e}\), and from Lemma 2.3 and Example 2.1 we get the following estimate:
Choose \(\alpha\in(0,\frac{1}{2})\) such that, for every \(t\in[0, \epsilon^{\alpha-\frac{1}{2}}(1-4p\sqrt{\epsilon})]\subseteq[0, T]\), we have
where
Consequently, given any number \(\delta>0\), we can choose \(\tilde{\epsilon}\in(0, \epsilon_{0}]\) (\(\epsilon_{0}=\frac{1}{16p^{2}}\)) such that, for each \(\epsilon\in(0, \tilde{\epsilon})\) and every \(t\in[0, \epsilon^{\alpha-\frac{1}{2}}(1-4p\sqrt{\epsilon})]\),
which completes the proof of the theorem. □
Using the Chebyshev-Markov inequality, we can also get the convergence in probability.
Theorem 3.2
Suppose that conditions \(\mathbf{H1}\)-\(\mathbf{H4}\) hold. Then, for a given arbitrarily small number \(\theta>0\) and for \(\alpha\in(0, \frac{1}{2})\), there exists a number \(\tilde{\epsilon}\in(0, \epsilon_{0}]\) \((\epsilon_{0}=\frac{1}{16p^{2}})\) such that, for all \(\epsilon\in(0, \tilde{\epsilon})\) and \(p\geq 1\), we have
