On the support of solutions of stochastic differential equations with path-dependent coefficients

Abstract

Given a stochastic differential equation with path-dependent coefficients driven by a multidimensional Wiener process, we show that the support of the law of the solution is given by the image of the Cameron-Martin space under the flow of mild solutions to a system of path-dependent ordinary differential equations. Our result extends the Stroock-Varadhan support theorem for diffusion processes to the case of stochastic differential equations with path-dependent coefficients. The proof is based on functional Ito calculus.
