Abstract

We first consider the stochastic differential equations (SDE) without global Lipschitz conditions, and give sufficient conditions for the SDEs to be strictly conservative. In particular, a criteria for stochastic flows of diffeomorphisms defined by SDEs with non-global Lipschitz coefficients is obtained. We also use Zvonkin's transformation to derive a stochastic flow of C1-diffeomorphisms for non-degenerate SDEs with Hlder continuous drifts. Next, we prove a Bismut type formula for certain degenerate SDEs. Lastly, we apply our results to stochastic Hamiltonian systems, which in particular covers the following stochastic nonlinear oscillator equation z̈t = c0t - zt 3 + Θ(zt)ẇt,(z0,z 0)=(z,u)∈ ℝ2, where c0 ∈ ℝ,Θ ∈ C∞(ℝ) has a bounded first order derivative, and wt is a one dimensional Brownian white noise.
