By using successive approximation, we prove existence and uniqueness result for a class of nonlinear stochastic differential equations. Moreover, it is shown that the solution of such equations is a diffusion process and its diffusion coefficients are found. 1. Introduction Differential equations, which are not solved for the derivative, have found diverse applications in many fields. Examples of equations of this type are Lagrange equations of classical mechanics or Euler equations. Consideration of real objects under the influence of random factors leads to nonlinear stochastic differential equations, which are not solved for stochastic differential. Such equations were introduced by Kolmanovskii and Nosov in [1] for construction of stochastic analogues of neutral functional differential equations. Works [1–5] were devoted to the problems of existence, uniqueness, and properties of solutions of neutral stochastic differential (delay) equations in finite dimensional spaces. Existence of solutions for such equations in Hilbert spaces was studied in papers [6–9]. In the paper [9] the author considered a stochastic equation without delay. In the monograph of KolmanovskiΔ±Μ and ShaΔ±Μkhet [10] conditions were obtained for optimality in control problems for these equations. In this paper we will study the existence and uniqueness of solutions for a class of nonlinear stochastic differential equations, which are not solved for the stochastic differential. Statement of the Problem. Let us consider a nonlinear stochastic differential equation: π (π₯ − πΊ (π‘, π₯)) = π (π‘, π₯) ππ‘ + π (π‘, π₯) ππ (π‘) , which is not solved for the stochastic differential. (1) Here π₯ ∈ π π , π‘ ≥ π‘0 , πΊ(π‘, π₯), and π(π‘, π₯) are πdimensional vector functions; π(π‘, π₯) is a π × π matrix and π(π‘) is an π-dimensional Wiener process with independent components. Let π₯ be a random vector in π π , such that πΈ|π₯|2 < ∞. Assume that π₯ does not depend on π(π‘) − π(π‘0 ), πΉπ‘ = π{π₯, π(π ) − π(π‘0 ), π‘0 ≤ π ≤ π‘}. Definition 1. An πΉπ‘ -dimensional process π₯(π‘) is said to be the solution of (1) if π₯(π‘0 ) = π₯ and π₯ − πΊ (π‘, π₯ (π‘)) = π₯ − πΊ (π‘0 , π₯) π‘ π‘ π‘0 π‘0 + ∫ π (π , π₯ (π )) ππ + ∫ π (π , π₯ (π )) ππ (π ) (2) holds for every π‘ ≥ π‘0 with probability 1. A solution π₯(π‘) is said to be unique if for any continuous solutions π₯(π‘), π¦(π‘) such that π₯(π‘0 ) = π¦(π‘0 ) = π₯ one has π{supπ ∈[π‘0 ,π‘] |π₯(π ) − π¦(π )| > 0} = 0 for all π‘ ≥ π‘0 . In this work we use the method of successive approximations to establish existence and uniqueness (pathwise) of the solution of (1). We study its probability properties. We prove that π₯(π‘) is diffusion process and find coefficients of diffusion. 2. Main Results Firstly we prove the theorem of existence and uniqueness of the solution. 2 Abstract and Applied Analysis Theorem 2. Assume that πΊ(π‘, π₯) is a continuous function; π(π‘, π₯), π(π‘, π₯) are measurable functions for π₯ ∈ π π , π‘ ≥ π‘0 and satisfy the following conditions: (1) there exists a constant πΆ > 0, such that |πΊ(π‘, π₯)| + |π(π‘, π₯)| + βπ(π‘, π₯)β ≤ πΆ(1 + |π₯|) for π₯ ∈ π π , π‘ ≥ π‘0 ; (2) there exist constants πΏ 1 > 0 and πΏ > 0 such that |πΊ(π‘, π₯) − πΊ(π‘, π₯σΈ )| ≤ πΏ 1 |π₯ − π₯σΈ | and σ΅¨ σ΅¨σ΅¨ σ΅¨ σ΅¨ σ΅© σ΅© σ΅¨σ΅¨π (π‘, π₯) − π (π‘, π₯σΈ )σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ + σ΅©σ΅©σ΅©π (π‘, π₯) − π (π‘, π₯σΈ )σ΅©σ΅©σ΅© ≤ πΏ σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨π₯ − π₯σΈ σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ (3) σ΅¨ σ΅¨ σ΅¨ σ΅¨ σ΅© σ΅© Next, estimate σ΅¨2 σ΅¨ πΈ sup σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨π₯π+1 (π‘) − π₯π (π‘)σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ , π‘∈[π‘0 ,π] σ΅¨σ΅¨ σ΅¨2 σ΅¨σ΅¨π₯1 (π‘) − π₯σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ σ΅¨σ΅¨2 π‘ π‘ σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ σ΅¨ σ΅¨ σ΅¨ = σ΅¨σ΅¨πΊ (π‘, π₯)−πΊ (π‘0 , π₯)+∫ π (π , π₯) ππ +∫ π (π , π₯) ππ (π )σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ σ΅¨σ΅¨ σ΅¨σ΅¨ π‘0 π‘0 σ΅¨ π‘ σ΅¨σ΅¨2 σ΅¨ σ΅¨ σ΅¨2 σ΅¨σ΅¨ ≤ 3 [σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨πΊ (π‘, π₯) − πΊ (π‘0 , π₯)σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ + σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨∫ π (π , π₯) ππ σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ σ΅¨σ΅¨ π‘0 σ΅¨σ΅¨ for π₯, π₯σΈ ∈ π π , π‘ ≥ π‘0 .

Moreover it has a bounded second moment such that πΈ|π₯(π‘)|2 < ∞ for all π‘ ≥ π‘0 . Proof. To find a solution of the integral equation (2), we use the method of successive approximations. We start by choosing an initial approximation π₯0 (π‘) = π₯. At the next step, π₯1 (π‘) = π₯ + πΊ (π‘, π₯) − πΊ (π‘0 , π₯) π‘ π‘ π‘0 π‘0 + ∫ π (π , π₯ (π )) ππ + ∫ π (π , π₯ (π )) ππ (π ) .

(15) π‘0 (11) By the Gronwall-Bellman inequality and the above inequality together, we have ≤ ∑ π΅π π4 3 (1 + 5 (π − π‘0 )) πΆ1 (1 + πΈ|π₯|2 ) σ΅¨2 σ΅¨ πΈ (ππ (π‘) σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨π₯ (π‘) − π¦ (π‘)σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ ) = 0. π=1 (16) So, converges. This implies the uniform convergence with probability 1 of the series π {π₯ (π‘) =ΜΈ π¦ (π‘)} ≤ π { sup |π₯ (π )| > π} π ∈[π‘0 ,π‘] (17) σ΅¨ σ΅¨ + π { sup σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨π¦ (π )σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ > π} . π ∈[π‘0 ,π‘] ∞ π₯ + ∑ (π₯π+1 (π‘) − π₯π (π‘)) , (12) π=0 on the interval [π‘0 , π]. Its sum is π₯(π‘). So π₯π (π‘) converges to some random process. Every π₯π (π‘) is continuous with probability 1. Whence it follows that the limit π₯(π‘) is continuous with probability 1, too. Then prove uniqueness of this continuous solution. Assume that there exists a second continuous solution π¦(π‘) Probabilities at the right-hand side of the above inequality approach to zero as π → ∞, because π₯(π‘) and π¦(π‘) are continuous with probability 1. Therefore π₯(π‘) and π¦(π‘) are stochastic equivalent. We conclude that σ΅¨ σ΅¨ π { sup σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨π₯ (π ) − π¦ (π )σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ > 0} = 0. π ∈[π‘0 ,π] (18) Hence, the existence and uniqueness of the solution are proved on [π‘0 , π]. 4 Abstract and Applied Analysis Next, we show boundedness of a second moment of the solution. Denote again by ππ(π‘) the indicator of the set Use the Gronwall-Bellman inequality to find the estimation {π : sup |π₯ (π ) − π₯| ≤ π} . where π· is a constant independent of π. Applying the Fatou lemma to the last inequality and assuming that π → ∞, we have (19) π ∈[π‘0 ,π‘] Then πΈ|π₯ (π‘) − π₯|2 ≤ π· (1 + πΈ|π₯|2 ) . ππ (π‘) (π₯ (π‘) − π₯) = ππ (π‘) (πΊ (π‘, π₯ (π‘)) − πΊ (π‘0 , π₯)) π‘ (20) + ππ (π‘) ∫ ππ (π ) π (π , π₯ (π )) ππ π‘0 π‘ + ππ (π‘) ∫ ππ (π ) π (π , π₯ (π )) ππ (π ) . π‘0 Similarly, we have 2 πΈ(ππ (π‘) (π₯ (π‘) − π₯)) ≤ 3 [πΈππ (π‘) (πΏ 1 |π₯ (π‘) − π₯| σ΅¨ σ΅¨2 + |πΊ (π‘, π₯)| + σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨πΊ (π‘0 , π₯)σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨) π‘ + (π − π‘0 ) ∫ πΈ (ππ (π ) ( |π (π , π₯ (π )) − π (π , π₯)| π‘0 2 + |π (π , π₯ (π ))| ) ) ππ π‘ + ∫ πΈ (ππ (π ) ( |π (π , π₯ (π )) − π (π , π₯)| π‘0 + |π (π , π₯ (π ))|)2 ) ππ ] ≤ 9πΏ21 πΈ (ππ (π‘) |π₯ (π‘) − π₯|2 ) + 18πΆ1 (1 + πΈ|π₯|2 ) π‘ π‘0 2 + 6(π − π‘0 ) πΆ1 (1 + πΈ|π₯|2 ) 2 (23) (24) Since πΈ|π₯|2 ≤ ∞, then it follows from [8] that πΈ|π₯|2 < ∞ for every π‘ ∈ [π‘0 , π]. Thus existence, uniqueness, and boundedness of the second moment of the solution π₯(π‘) are proved on [π‘0 , π]. Since the constant π΅ is dependent only on π − π‘0 and πΈ|π₯|2 < ∞, and π₯(π) is independent of π(π )−π(π) for π β©Ύ π, then by similar manner we can prove the existence and uniqueness of the solution of the IVP with initial conditions (π, π₯(π)) on the interval [π, π1 ], where π1 is chosen such that the inequality 3(πΏ21 + 5(π1 − π)πΏ2 ) < 1. This procedure can be repeated in order to extend the solution of (1) to the entire semiaxis π‘ β©Ύ π‘0 . The theorem is proved. Notes. The existence and uniqueness of the solution can be obtained as corollary from work [1], where this result was proved for an SDE of neutral type by replacing a condition for Lipschitz constant πΏ 1 < (1/6)3/4 with more weak condition πΏ 1 < 1. But by using our method, paths of obtained solution are continuous with probability 1. Otherwise, in the pointed work only the measurability of the solution and boundedness of its second moment were stated. Now, we state some probability properties of the solution obtained in Theorem 2. We prove that under assumptions of Theorem 2, the solution of (1) is a Markov random process. Moreover, if the coefficients are continuous then it is a diffusion process. We will find its diffusion coefficients. Theorem 3. Under conditions (1)-(2) of Theorem 2 the solution π₯(π‘) of (1) is a Markov process with a transition probability defined by + 6 (π − π‘0 ) ∫ πΈ (ππ (π ) πΏ2 |π₯ (π ) − π₯|2 ) ππ π‘ πΈππ (π‘) |π₯ (π‘) − π₯|2 ≤ π· (1 + πΈ|π₯|2 ) , π (π‘, π₯, π , π΄) = π {π₯π‘,π₯ (π ) ∈ π΄} , 2 + 6 ∫ πΈ (ππ (π ) πΏ |π₯ (π ) − π₯| ) ππ (25) where π₯π‘,π₯ (π ) is a solution of that equation π‘0 2 + 6(π − π‘0 ) πΆ1 (1 + πΈ|π₯|2 ) . π₯π‘,π₯ (π ) = πΊ (π , π₯π‘,π₯ (π )) + π₯ − πΊ (π‘, π₯) (21) π + ∫ π (π’, π₯π‘,π₯ (π’)) ππ’ π‘ So, (26) π + ∫ π (π’, π₯π‘,π₯ (π’)) ππ (π’) , (1 − 9πΏ21 ) πΈ (ππ (π ) |π₯ (π ) − π₯|2 ) π‘ ≤ 18πΆ1 (1 + πΈ|π₯|2 ) + 12 (π − π‘0 ) πΆ1 (1 + πΈ|π₯|2 ) where π β©Ύ π‘ β©Ύ π‘0 , π₯ ∈ π π . π‘ + (6πΏ2 (π − π‘0 ) + 6πΏ2 ) ∫ πΈ (ππ (π ) |π₯ (π ) − π₯|2 ) ππ . π‘0 (22) Proof. As in Theorem 2, we solve (1) by the method of successive approximations. It can be shown that π₯π‘,π₯ (π ) is completely defined by the nonrandom initial value π₯ and the Abstract and Applied Analysis 5 process π(π ) − π(π‘) for π > π‘, which are independent of πΉπ‘ . Since π₯(π‘) is a solution of (2), it is πΉπ‘ measurable. Hence π₯π‘,π₯ (π ) is independent of π₯(π‘) and events from πΉπ‘ . Note that, from the uniqueness of the solution π₯(π ) for π > π‘, it follows that it is a unique solution of the equation π₯ (π ) = πΊ (π , π₯ (π )) π + π₯ (π‘) − πΊ (π‘, π₯ (π‘)) + ∫ π (π’, π₯ (π’)) ππ’ π‘ (27) σ΅¨σ΅¨4 σ΅¨σ΅¨ π σ΅¨ σ΅¨ + 27πΈσ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨∫ ππ (π’) π (π’, π₯π‘,π (π’)) ππ’σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ σ΅¨σ΅¨ σ΅¨σ΅¨ π‘ σ΅¨σ΅¨4 σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ π σ΅¨ + 27πΈσ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨∫ ππ (π’) π (π’, π₯π‘,π₯ (π’)) ππ (π’)σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ σ΅¨σ΅¨ π‘ σ΅¨σ΅¨ σ΅¨ σ΅¨4 ≤ 63 πΏ41 πΈ (ππ (π ) σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨π₯π‘,π₯ (π ) − π₯σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ ) σ΅¨ σ΅¨ + 63 σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨πΊπ‘4 (π‘, π₯)σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ (π − π‘)4 + ππ₯ (π‘ − π )4 π σ΅¨ σ΅¨4 + 27(π − π‘)3 ∫ πΈππ (π’) σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨π (π’, π₯π‘,π₯ (π’))σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ ππ’ π π‘ + ∫ π (π’, π₯ (π’)) ππ (π’) . π‘ π Since the process π₯π‘,π₯(π‘) (π ) is also a solution of this equation, then π₯(π ) = π₯π‘,π₯(π‘) (π ) with probability 1. As for the rest, the proof is the same as the proof of the theorem for ordinary stochastic equations [11]. The theorem is proved. We have a corollary from this theorem. Corollary 4.

Using the lemma from [11, p.38], we obtain Similarly to finding estimation (24), we have σ΅¨ σ΅¨4 πΈ (ππ (π ) σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨π₯π‘,π₯ (π ) − π₯σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ ) σ΅¨ σ΅¨4 πΈππ (π’) σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨π₯π‘,π₯ (π’) − π₯σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ ≤ π»(π − π‘)2 (1 + |π₯|4 ) , ≤ 27πΈ (ππ (π ) (πΊ (π , π₯π‘,π₯ (π )) − πΊ (π , π₯) 4 +πΊ (π , π₯) − πΊ (π‘, π₯) ) ) (33) where π» > 0 depends only on πΆ2 , πΏ, and πΊπ‘ (π‘, π₯). Now, assume that π → ∞ and obtain estimate (28). This completes the proof of the Lemma. 6 Abstract and Applied Analysis Theorem 6. If conditions (1)-(2) of Theorem 2 are satisfied and functions π(π‘, π₯), π(π‘, π₯), πΊ(π‘, π₯), πΊπ‘ (π‘, π₯), πΊπ₯π (π‘, π₯), and πΊπ₯π π₯π (π‘, π₯), π, π = 1, π, are continuous for π‘ β©Ύ π‘0 , π₯ ∈ π π . Functions πΊπ‘ (π‘, π₯), πΊπ₯π (π‘, π₯), and πΊπ₯π π₯π (π‘, π₯) satisfy Lipschitz condition with respect to π₯ in neighborhood of every point (π‘, π₯). Then the solution of (1) is diffusion process with Next, show that π₯(π ) has the same diffusion coefficients. To do this it is sufficient to estimate the following limits and use estimation (28) lim π →π‘π 1 −1 × [πΊπ‘ (π‘, π₯)+π (π‘, π₯)+ πΊπ₯π₯ (π‘, π₯) (πΌ−πΊπ₯ (π‘, π₯)) 2 π −1 ×π (π‘, π₯) ππ (π‘, π₯) ((πΌ − πΊπ₯ (π‘, π₯)) ) ] where π0 is chosen such that the point (π , π¦) is laying in this neighborhood. We get lim (34) π →π‘π 1 (π¦ − π₯) π (π‘, π₯, π , ππ¦) ∫ − π‘ |π¦−π₯|≤π0 = lim 1 (π₯ (π ) − π₯) π (ππ€) ∫ − π‘ {π€:|π₯π‘,π₯ (π )−π₯|≤π0 } π‘,π₯ = lim 1 (π¦ (π ) − π₯) π (ππ€) ∫ − π‘ {π€:|π¦(π )−π₯|≤π0 } π →π‘π and diffusion matrix with π −1 −1 π (π‘, π₯) = (πΌ−πΊπ₯ (π‘, π₯)) π (π‘, π₯) ππ (π‘, π₯) ((πΌ−πΊπ₯ (π‘, π₯)) ) . (35) (38) 1 2 (π§, π¦ − π₯) π (π‘, π₯, π , ππ¦) , lim ∫ π → π‘ π − π‘ |π¦−π₯|≤π 0 −1 π (π‘, π₯) = (πΌ − πΊπ₯ (π‘, π₯)) 1 (π¦ − π₯) π (π‘, π₯, π , ππ¦) , ∫ − π‘ |π¦−π₯|≤π0 π →π‘π 1 −1 = (πΌ − πΊπ₯ (π‘, π₯)) [πΊπ‘ (π‘, π₯) + π (π‘, π₯) + πΊπ₯π₯ (π‘, π₯) 2 Proof. Take any point (π‘, π₯) from a region π‘ β©Ύ π‘0 , π₯ ∈ π π . Consider a stochastic ITO equation in a closed neighborhood of this point −1 × (πΌ − πΊπ₯ (π‘, π₯)) π (π‘, π₯) π −1 ×ππ (π‘, π₯) ((πΌ − πΊπ₯ (π‘, π₯)) ) ] . (39) −1 ππ¦ = (πΌ − πΊπ₯ (π , π¦)) 1 −1 × [πΊπ‘ (π , π¦) + π (π , π¦) + πΊπ₯π₯ (π , π¦) (πΌ − πΊπ₯ (π , π¦)) 2 π −1 × π (π , π¦) ππ (π , π¦) ((πΌ − πΊπ₯ (π , π¦)) ) ] ππ Similarly, obtain the second limit in (38): lim π →π‘π −1 = ( (πΌ − πΊπ₯ (π‘, π₯)) π (π‘, π₯) ππ (π‘, π₯) −1 + (πΌ − πΊπ₯ (π , π¦)) π (π , π¦) ππ (π ) . From the conditions of the theorem, it follows that there exists a closed neighborhood of the point (π‘, π₯), such that coefficients of the equation are Lipschitz with respect to π₯. Fix this neighborhood. Extend these coefficients on the all region π‘ ≥ π‘0 , π₯ ∈ π π such that they remain continuous by both variables, Lipschitz and linear with respect to π₯. Then the equation (37) with these extended coefficients has a unique solution of the IVP π¦(π‘) = π₯ for π > π‘. From ITO formula and coincidence of coefficients of (36) and (37) in this neighborhood of the point (π‘, π₯), one can show that processes π₯π‘,π₯ and π¦(π ) coincide in this neighborhood. It is known that under these assumptions the process π¦(π ) is diffusion. Its diffusion coefficients in the point (π‘, π₯) are defined by coefficients of (36). (40) π −1 × ((πΌ − πΊπ₯ (π‘, π₯)) ) π§, π§) . (36) ππ¦ = π1 (π , π¦) ππ + π1 (π , π¦) ππ (π ) 1 2 (π§, π¦ − π₯) π (π‘, π₯, π , ππ¦) ∫ − π‘ |π¦−π₯|≤π0 So, the existence of limits in (38) is proved for every point (π‘, π₯) and fixed π0 , chosen for this point. It is clear that from (28), these limits exist for every π > 0 and they are independent of π. From the above and the definition of diffusion process [12, p.67] we can finish the proof.
