TY - JOUR A1 - Halidias, Nikolaos A1 - Kloeden, Peter E. T1 - A note on strong solutions of stochastic differential equations with a discontinuous drift coefficient T2 - Journal of applied mathematics and stochastic analysis N2 - The existence of a mean-square continuous strong solution is established for vector-valued Itö stochastic differential equations with a discontinuous drift coefficient, which is an increasing function, and with a Lipschitz continuous diffusion coefficient. A scalar stochastic differential equation with the Heaviside function as its drift coefficient is considered as an example. Upper and lower solutions are used in the proof.
