Non-confluence for SDEs driven by fractional Brownian motion with Markovian switching

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the non-confluence property of a class of stochastic differential equations with Markovian switching driven by fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter \(H\in (1/2,1)\). By using the generalized Itô formula and stopping time techniques, we obtain some sufficient conditions ensuring the non-confluence property for the considered equations. Additionally, we present two important corollaries on the non-confluence property by the Poisson equation and M-matrix, respectively, which can verify the non-confluence property more effectively than the general condition. Finally, we provide an example to illustrate the practical usefulness of our theoretical results.
