Conjecture on sensitivity to initial data for minimal solutions of the supercooled Stefan problem

About 3 years old · traced to

Let X0−X_{0-} be a random variable with E∣X0−∣<∞\mathbb{E}|X_{0-}|<\infty. For x∈Rx\in\mathbb{R}, let Λ‾x\underline{\Lambda}^x denote the minimal solution to the McKean–Vlasov equation with shifted initial condition X0−+xX_{0-}+x.

Sensitivity conjecture. The map

x↦Λ‾xx\mapsto \underline{\Lambda}^x

is continuous from R\mathbb{R} to (D([−1,∞)),M1⁡)(D([-1,\infty)),\operatorname{M1}).

This conjecture concerns sensitivity of the minimal solution to perturbations of the initial condition. The preceding result identifies the minimal solution as a physical solution when E∣X0−∣<∞\mathbb{E}|X_{0-}|<\infty; continuity in the Skorokhod M1⁡\operatorname{M1} topology remains conjectural in the stated setting.
