The biased-sign construction conjecture for the Tanaka flow

At least 4 years old · documented by

Let e\bm e be a one-dimensional Brownian excursion, and let Z1,1−p(u)\bm{\mathscr Z}_{1,1-p}^{(u)} denote the solution flow of the displayed Tanaka-type SDE, started at time uu. The construction analogous to the uniform-sign construction uses signs s(ℓ)∈{⊕,⊖}\bm s(\ell)\in\{\oplus,\ominus\} indexed by local minima ℓ\ell of e\bm e.

Biased-sign construction conjecture. For ρ=1\rho=1 and every p∈[0,1]p\in[0,1], the solutions Z1,1−p(u)\bm{\mathscr Z}_{1,1-p}^{(u)} can be constructed using independent biased signs satisfying

P(s(ℓ)=⊕)=p.\mathbb{P}(\bm s(\ell)=\oplus)=p.

For p=1/2p=1/2, this reduces to the coalescing flow associated with the Tanaka SDE. The conjecture supplies the analogous explicit construction for all biases.
