Let \BbbR d be a Euclidean space of points x = (x1, . . . , xd), d \geq 2. We fix some p, q \in [1,\infty ] such that d p + 1 q \leq 1 (1.1) with further restrictions on them to be specified later. The goal of this article is to study the solvability of Itô’s stochastic equations of the form xt = x(0) + t\int 0 \sigma \Bigl( t(0) + s, xs \Bigr) dws + t\int 0 b \Bigl( t(0) + s, xs \Bigr) ds, (1.2) where wt is a d-dimensional Wiener process, \sigma is a uniformly nondegenerate, bounded, Borel function with values in the set of symmetric (d \times d)-matrices, b is a Borel measurable \BbbR d- valued function given on ( - \infty ,\infty )\times \BbbR d such that\int \BbbR \left( \int \BbbR d | b(t, x)| p dx \right) q/p dt <\infty (1.3) if p \geq q or \int \BbbR d \left( \int \BbbR | b(t, x)| q dt \right) p/q dx <\infty if p \leq q. If p = \infty or q = \infty we interpret this conditions in a natural way. Observe that the case p = q = d + 1 is not excluded and in this case the condition becomes b \in Ld+1(\BbbR d+1). Under this condition the solvability of (1.2) was proved in [17]. We are talking, of course, about weak solutions and prove their existence in Theorem 3.1. In Theorem 6.1 we prove the existence of strong Markov processes corresponding to diffusion \sigma and c\bigcirc N. V. KRYLOV, 2020 1232 ISSN 1027-3190. Укр. мат. журн., 2020, т. 72, № 9 ON TIME INHOMOGENEOUS STOCHASTIC ITÔ EQUATIONS WITH DRIFT IN Ld+1 1233 drift b with the above properties. If b is bounded, as we know from [16], there exist strong Markov and strong Feller processes with diffusion \sigma and drift b for which the Harnack inequality holds and the caloric functions are Hölder continuous. We are far from proving such fine properties. The main technical tools are collected in Section 4 where we prove new mixed norms estimates for the distributions of semimartingales. The treatment there, actually, follows very closely the work by A. I. Nazarov [11] written in terms of PDEs. There is a vast literature about stochastic equations with irregular drift. Probably one of the first authors starting this area was N. I. Portenko, see his book [12], where he constructed diffusion processes with sufficiently regular \sigma and b \in Lp(\BbbR d+1), p > d + 2. This condition on b was later refined in many articles with various ambitious goals in them to the requirement that b be such that (1.3) holds not under condition (1.1) but rather d p + 2 q \leq 1. (1.4) We refer the reader to the recent articles [2, 10, 15] and the references therein for the discussion of many powerful results obtained under condition (1.4), when the case of equality is treated as “critical”. It could be critical in some respects but not for obtaining our results, that seem to be the first ones about the existence of solutions and Markov processes with our condition on the drift. Still it is worth emphasizing that our condition is different if p \geq q (and, hence, p \geq d + 1) or p < q, whereas there is no such distinction attached to (1.4). We assume that d \geq 2 and denote BR = \bigl\{ x \in \BbbR d : | x| < R \bigr\} , Di = \partial \partial xi , Dij = DiDj , \partial t = \partial \partial t . For p, q \in [1,\infty ], we introduce the space Lp,q as the space of Borel functions on \BbbR d+1 such that \| f\| qp,q := \int \BbbR \left( \int \BbbR d | f(t, x)| p dx \right) q/p dt <\infty if p \geq q or \| f\| pp,q := \int \BbbR d \left( \int \BbbR | f(t, x)| q dt \right) p/q dx <\infty if p \leq q with natural interpretation of these definitions if p = \infty or q = \infty . To better memorize these formulas observe that p is associated with integration with respect to x, q with that with respect to t and the interior integral is always elevated to the power \leq 1. In case p = q = d+ 1 we abbreviate Ld+1,d+1 = Ld+1, \| \cdot \| d+1,d+1 = \| \cdot \| d+1. 2. An example of nonexistence. Example 2.1. Suppose that numbers \alpha and \beta satisfy 0 < \alpha \leq \beta < 1, \alpha + \beta = 1, (2.1) and set ISSN 1027-3190. Укр. мат. журн., 2020, т. 72, № 9 1234 N. V. KRYLOV b(t, x) = - 1 t\alpha | x| \beta x | x| I0<| x| \leq 1,t\leq 1. Observe that if d/p+ 1/q = 1 + \varepsilon , \varepsilon > 0, one can take \beta = d/(p+ p\varepsilon ), \alpha = 1/(q + q\varepsilon ) and then 1\int 0 \left( \int | x| \leq 1 | b(t, x)| p dx \right) q/p dt <\infty , \int | x| \leq 1 \left( 1\int 0 | b(t, x)| q dt \right) p/q dx <\infty . Also note that if p \leq qd (say p = q), condition (2.1) is satisfied. However, it turns out that no matter which \alpha , \beta we take satisfying (2.1) there is no solutions of the equation dxt = dwt + b(t, xt) dt starting at zero, where wt is a d-dimensional Wiener process. To prove this assume the contrary. Namely, assume the there is a stopping time \tau such that P (\tau > 0) > 0 and for t \leq \tau there is xt such that xt = wt + t\int 0 b(s, xs) ds. We may assume that \tau \leq 1 and before \tau the process is in B1. Then, for t \leq \tau , dxt = - 1 t\alpha | xt| \beta xt | xt| Ixt \not =0 dt+ dwt, d| xt| 2 = - 2 | xt| t\alpha | xt| \beta dt+ d dt+ 2xt dwt. (2.2) We will be interested in | xt| 1+\beta = \xi (1+\beta )/2 t , where \xi t = | xt| 2. By Itô’s formula for any \varepsilon > 0 we have d(\xi t + \varepsilon )(1+\beta )/2 = 1 + \beta 2 (\xi t + \varepsilon )(\beta - 1)/2 d\xi t + \beta 2 - 1 8 (\xi t + \varepsilon )(\beta - 3)/24| xt| 2 dt = = It(\varepsilon ) dt+ Jt(\varepsilon ) dt+ (1 + \beta )(\xi t + \varepsilon )(\beta - 1)/2xt dwt, (2.3) where It(\varepsilon ) = - (1 + \beta )(\xi t + \varepsilon )(\beta - 1)/2 | xt| \alpha t\alpha , Jt(\varepsilon ) = 1 + \beta 2 \bigl[ d+ (\beta - 1)(\xi t + \varepsilon ) - 1| xt| 2 \bigr] (\xi t + \varepsilon )(\beta - 1)/2. Since (\xi t + \varepsilon ) - \alpha /2| xt| \alpha \uparrow Ixt \not =0 as \varepsilon \downarrow 0, by the dominated convergence theorem t\int 0 Is(\varepsilon ) ds\rightarrow - (1 + \beta ) t\int 0 Ixs \not =0 1 s\alpha ds, which is finite. Furthermore, since | xs| \beta - 1xs is bounded on each trajectory, by the dominated convergence the- orem ISSN 1027-3190. Укр. мат. журн., 2020, т. 72, № 9 ON TIME INHOMOGENEOUS STOCHASTIC ITÔ EQUATIONS WITH DRIFT IN Ld+1 1235 t\int 0 \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| (\xi s + \varepsilon )(\beta - 1)/2xs - | xs| \beta - 1xs \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| 2 ds\rightarrow 0, and we conclude from (2.3) that for t \leq \tau | xt| 1+\beta = - (1 + \beta ) t\int 0 Ixs \not =0 1 s\alpha ds+ \mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{m} \varepsilon \downarrow 0 t\int 0 Js(\varepsilon ) ds+ (1 + \beta ) t\int 0 | xs| \beta - 1xsIxs \not =0 dws (2.4) and the above limit exists and is finite. Since 2Js(\varepsilon ) \geq (\xi s + \varepsilon )(\beta - 1)/2, it follows that t\int 0 | xs| \beta - 1 ds = \mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{m} \varepsilon \downarrow 0 t\int 0 (\xi s + \varepsilon )(\beta - 1)/2 ds and the left-hand side is finite. In particular, \tau \int 0 Ixs=0 ds = 0. (2.5) Now by the dominated convergence theorem (2.4) implies that | xt| 1+\beta = - (1 + \beta ) t\int 0 1 s\alpha ds+ + 1 2 (1 + \beta ) t\int 0 (d+ \beta - 1)| xs| \beta - 1 ds+ (1 + \beta ) t\int 0 | xs| \beta - 1xs dws. Next, use \alpha \leq \beta and Hölder’s inequality to conclude that t\int 0 | xs| - \alpha ds = t\int 0 \biggl( 1 s\alpha | xs| \beta \biggr) \alpha /\beta s\alpha 2/\beta ds \leq \left( t\int 0 1 s\alpha | xs| \beta ds \right) \alpha /\beta \left( t\int 0 s\alpha 2/(\beta - \alpha ) ds \right) (\beta - \alpha )/\beta . Since \alpha 2/(\beta - \alpha ) + 1 = (\alpha 2 + 1 - 2\alpha )/(\beta - \alpha ) = \beta 2/(\beta - \alpha ), t\int 0 | xs| - \alpha ds \leq N \left( t\int 0 1 s\alpha | xs| \beta ds \right) \alpha /\beta t\beta , where N = N(\alpha , \beta ) (which is trivial if \alpha = \beta ). Thus, | xt| 1+\beta + ct\beta \leq N1 \left( t\int 0 1 s\alpha | xs| \beta ds \right) \alpha /\beta t\beta + (1 + \beta ) t\int 0 | xs| \beta - 1xs dws, where c > 0 is a constant. For equation (2.2) to make sense we should have ISSN 1027-3190. Укр. мат. журн., 2020, т. 72, № 9 1236 N. V. KRYLOV \tau \int 0 1 s\alpha | xs| \beta ds <\infty (a. s.). Therefore, \gamma := \tau \wedge \mathrm{i}\mathrm{n}\mathrm{f} \left\{ t \geq 0 : N1 \left( t\int 0 1 s\alpha | xs| \beta ds \right) \alpha /\beta \geq c/2 \right\} , is a stopping time such that P (\gamma > 0) = P (\tau > 0). It follows that for any t > 0 t\int 0 Is<\gamma | xs| \beta - 1xs dws \geq 0, which is only possible if Is<\gamma | xs| \beta - 1xs = 0 for almost all (\omega , s). Then xs = 0 for s < \gamma and (2.5) is only possible if P (\tau = 0) = 1. 3. An existence theorem. In this section, we state a result saying that in a wide class of cases there exists a probability space and a Wiener process on this space such that a stochastic equation having measurable coefficients as well as this Wiener process is solvable. In other words, according to conventional terminology, we are talking here about “weak” solutions of a stochastic equation. The main difference between “weak” solutions and usual (“strong”) solutions consists in the fact that the latter can be constructed on any a priori given probability space on the basis of any given Wiener process. Let \sigma (t, x) be Borel d\times d symmetric matrix valued, b(t, x) be Borel \BbbR d-valued functions given on \BbbR d+1 := ( - \infty ,\infty ) \times \BbbR d. We assume that the eigenvalues of \sigma (t, x) are between \delta and \delta - 1, where \delta \in (0, 1) is a fixed number. The set of such matrices we denote by \BbbS \delta . Next, fix numbers p, q \in (1,\infty ), \| b\| \in (0,\infty ) and let bn(t, x), n = 1, 2, . . . , be \BbbR d-valued Borel functions on \BbbR d+1 + and suppose that \| b\| p,q, \| bn\| p,q \leq \| b\| , n = 1, 2, . . . , d p + 1 q = 1, and bn \rightarrow b as n\rightarrow \infty in Lp,q. Let \sigma n(t, x), n = 1, 2, . . . , be Borel functions on \BbbR d with values in \BbbS \delta such that \sigma n \rightarrow \sigma as n\rightarrow \infty (\BbbR d+1-a.e.). Theorem 3.1. Take (t0, x0) \in \BbbR d+1. (i) There exists a probability space (\Omega ,\scrF , P ), a filtration of \sigma -fields \scrF t \subset \scrF , t \geq 0, a process wt, t \geq 0, which is a d-dimensional Wiener process relative to \{ \scrF t\} , and an \scrF t-adapted process xt such that (a.s.) for all t \geq 0 equation (1.2) holds. (ii) Furthermore, let (tn, xn) \in \BbbR d+1, n = 1, 2, . . . , and let (tn, xn) \rightarrow (t0, x0) as n \rightarrow \infty . Assume that for each n = 1, 2, . . . there exists a probability space (\Omega n,\scrF n, Pn), a filtration of \sigma -fields \scrF n t \subset \scrF n, t \geq 0, a process wnt , t \geq 0, which is a d-dimensional Wiener process relative to \{ \scrF n t \} , and an \scrF n t -adapted process xnt such that (a.s.) for all t \geq 0 xnt = xn + t\int 0 \sigma n(tn + s, xns ) dw n s + t\int 0 bn(tn + s, xns ) ds. Then the finite dimensional distributions of a subsequence of xn\cdot converge weakly to the corre- sponding distributions of one of the solutions of (1.2) described in (i). Moreover, if p \geq q, the set of distributions of xn\cdot on C \bigl( [0,\infty ),\BbbR d \bigr) is tight. ISSN 1027-3190. Укр. мат. журн., 2020, т. 72, № 9 ON TIME INHOMOGENEOUS STOCHASTIC ITÔ EQUATIONS WITH DRIFT IN Ld+1 1237 The proof of this theorem, following a similar proof by A. V. Skorokhod, is given in Section 5, after we make a crucial step in the next section where we prove, in particular, that for solutions of (1.2), any Borel f \geq 0, and T \in (0,\infty ) E T\int 0 f(t, xt) dt \leq N\| f\| p,q, where N is independent of f and (t0, x0). It is worth saying that deciding whether the solutions of (1.2) are weakly unique or not under our conditions is a very challenging open problem even if \sigma ij \equiv \delta ij . Remark 3.1. Theorem 3.1 is also true if d/p + 1/q < 1. This can be seen from its proof which becomes somewhat more technical in that case because of the form of our main estimate (4.9). Also the main interest in Theorem 3.1 is, of course, the lowest local integrability of b, when the condition d/p+ 1/q = 1 is weaker than d/p+ 1/q < 1 due to Hölder’s inequality. 4. Estimates of the distributions of semimartingales. Here we first prove a version of Lemma 5.1 of [6]. The proof given in [6] uses somewhat advanced knowledge of very powerful results from the theory of fully nonlinear parabolic equations. We give a proof based on a simpler fact which in turn was one of the cornerstones of that theory. Let (\Omega ,\scrF , P ) be a complete probability space, let \scrF t, t \geq 0, be an increasing family of complete \sigma -fields \scrF t \subset \scrF , t \geq 0, let mt be an \BbbR d-valued continuous local martingale relative to \scrF t, let At be a continuous \scrF t-adapted nondecreasing process, let Bt be a continuous \BbbR d-valued \scrF t-adapted process which has finite variation (a.e.) on each finite time interval. Assume that A0 = 0, m0 = B0 = 0, d\langle m\rangle t \ll dAt and that we are also given progressively measurable relative to \scrF t nonnegative processes rt and ct. Finally, take an \scrF 0 measurable \BbbR d-valued x0 and introduce xt = x0 +mt +Bt, \tau t = t\int 0 rs dAs, \phi t = t\int 0 cs dAs, aijt = 1 2 d\langle mi,mj\rangle t dAt . Lemma 4.1. Let \gamma be an \scrF t-stopping time and set A = E \gamma \int 0 e - \phi t\mathrm{t}\mathrm{r} as dAt, B = E \gamma \int 0 e - \phi t | dBt| . Then, for any Borel f(t, x) \geq 0, we have E \gamma \int 0 e - \phi t(rt \mathrm{d}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{t} at) 1/(d+1)f(\tau t, xt) dAt \leq N(d)(B2 +A)d/(2d+2)\| f\| d+1. (4.1) Proof. Without losing generality we may assume that A < \infty and B < \infty . Furthermore, just stopping the processes At, mt, and Bt at time \gamma , we reduce the general case to the one in which \gamma = \infty . In that case we also observe that, as usual, it suffices to prove (4.1) for f \in C\infty 0 (\BbbR d+1). After these reductions we use Theorem 2.2.4 of [8] according to which, for any \lambda > 0 on \BbbR d+1, there exists a nonnegative function v(t, x) such that ISSN 1027-3190. Укр. мат. журн., 2020, т. 72, № 9 1238 N. V. KRYLOV (i) all Sobolev derivatives \partial tv, Div, Dijv exist and are bounded on \BbbR d+1 and v \leq Ne - | x| /N for all t, x and a constant N ; (ii) for any nonnegative symmetric (d\times d)-matrix \alpha and r \geq 0, r\partial tv + \alpha ijDijv - \lambda (r + \mathrm{t}\mathrm{r}\alpha )v + d+1 \surd r \mathrm{d}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{t}\alpha f \leq 0, \partial tv - \lambda v \leq 0, (\lambda v\delta ij - Dijv) \geq 0, | Dv| \leq \surd \lambda v (a. e.); (4.2) (iii) for any y \in \BbbR d, t \in ( - \infty ,\infty ), we have v(t, y)e - \lambda t \leq N(d) 1 \lambda d/(2d+2) It, (4.3) where Id+1 t := \infty \int 0 ds \int \BbbR d e - \lambda (d+1)(t+s)fd+1(t+ s, x) dx. Take a nonnegative \zeta \in C\infty 0 (\BbbR d+1) with unit integral, for \varepsilon > 0 denote \zeta \varepsilon (t, x) = \varepsilon - (d+1)\zeta (\varepsilon t, \varepsilon x) and use the notation u(\varepsilon ) = u \ast \zeta \varepsilon . Then v(\varepsilon ) is infinitely differentiable and in light of (4.2), for any nonnegative symmetric (d\times d)-matrix \alpha and r \geq 0, r\partial tv (\varepsilon ) + \alpha ijDijv (\varepsilon ) - \lambda (r + \mathrm{t}\mathrm{r}\alpha )v(\varepsilon ) + d+1 \surd r \mathrm{d}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{t}\alpha f (\varepsilon ) \leq 0, \partial tv (\varepsilon ) - \lambda v(\varepsilon ) \leq 0, \bigl( \lambda v(\varepsilon )\delta ij - Dijv (\varepsilon ) \bigr) \geq 0, \bigm| \bigm| Dv(\varepsilon )\bigm| \bigm| \leq \surd \lambda v(\varepsilon ). (4.4) Next, by Itô’s formula the process v(\varepsilon )(\tau t, xt)e - \phi t - \lambda \tau t - t\int 0 e - \phi s - \lambda \tau sDiv (\varepsilon )(\tau s, xs) dB i s+ + t\int 0 e - \phi s - \lambda \tau s \Bigl( (\lambda rs + cs)v (\varepsilon ) - rs\partial tv (\varepsilon ) - aijs Dijv (\varepsilon ) \Bigr) (\tau s, xs) dAs is a local martingale. Here owing to (4.4)\Bigl( (\lambda rs + cs)v (\varepsilon ) - rs\partial tv (\varepsilon ) - aijs Dijv (\varepsilon ) \Bigr) dAs - Div (\varepsilon ) dBi s \geq \geq (rs \mathrm{d}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{t} as) 1/(d+1)f (\varepsilon ) dAs - \lambda \mathrm{t}\mathrm{r} asv (\varepsilon ) dAs - \surd \lambda v(\varepsilon ) | dBs| . Therefore, for M \varepsilon = \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} t\geq 0,x\in \BbbR d v(\varepsilon )(t, x)e - \lambda t, the process ISSN 1027-3190.

In addition, it is bounded from below by a summable quantity (A,B < <\infty ). Hence, it is a supermartingale and by Fatou’s lemma Ev(\varepsilon )(0, x0) = \kappa \varepsilon 0 \geq E \infty \int 0 e - \phi t - \lambda \tau s(rt \mathrm{d}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{t} at) 1/(d+1)f (\varepsilon )(\tau t, xt) dAt - M \varepsilon (\lambda A+ \surd \lambda B). By sending \varepsilon \downarrow 0 and using (4.3) and Fatou’s lemma once more we obtain E \infty \int 0 e - \phi t - \lambda \tau s(rt \mathrm{d}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{t} at) 1/(d+1)f(\tau t, xt) dAt \leq N(d) 1 \lambda d/(2d+2) \Bigl( 1 + \lambda A+ \surd \lambda B \Bigr) I0. We replace here e - \lambda tf by f and arrive at E \infty \int 0 e - \phi t(rt \mathrm{d}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{t} at) 1/(d+1)f(\tau t, xt) dAt \leq N(d) 1 \lambda d/(2d+2) \Bigl( 1 + \lambda A+ \surd \lambda B \Bigr) \| f\| d+1. Now we use the arbitrariness of \lambda . If A < B2, then for \lambda = B - 2 we have 1 \lambda d/(2d+2) \Bigl( 1 + \lambda A+ \surd \lambda B \Bigr) \leq 3Bd/(d+1) \leq 3(B2 +A)d/(2d+2). If A \geq B2 and A > 0, then for \lambda = A - 1 the above inequality between the extreme terms still holds. Finally, if A = B = 0, then the left-hand side of (4.1) is zero. The lemma is proved. Lemma 4.2. In the notation of Lemma 4.1 for any Borel f(x) \geq 0 we have E \gamma \int 0 e - \phi t(\mathrm{d}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{t} at) 1/df(xt) dAt \leq N(d)(B2 +A)1/2\| f\| Ld(\BbbR d). (4.5) Proof. We follow a probabilistic version of an argument in [11]. We again may concentrate on the case of A + B < \infty , \gamma = \infty , and f \in C\infty 0 (\BbbR d). In that case observe that by Theorem 2.2.3 of [8] there exists a nonnegative function v(x) defined on \BbbR d such that (a) v \leq Ne - | x| /N for all x and a constant N ; the generalized derivatives Div and Dijv, i, j = 1, . . . , d, are bounded on \BbbR d ; (b) for any nonnegative symmetric (d\times d)-matrix \alpha (a. e.) - \lambda v \mathrm{t}\mathrm{r} \alpha + \alpha ijDijv + d \surd \mathrm{d}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{t}\alpha f \leq 0, | Dv| \leq \surd \lambda v, (\lambda v\delta ij - Dijv) \geq 0; (4.6) ISSN 1027-3190.

Take a nonnegative \zeta \in C\infty 0 (\BbbR d) with unit integral, for \varepsilon > 0 denote \zeta \varepsilon (x) = \varepsilon - d\zeta (\varepsilon x) and use the notation u(\varepsilon ) = u\ast \zeta \varepsilon . Then v(\varepsilon ) is infinitely differentiable and in light of (4.6), for any nonnegative symmetric (d\times d)-matrix \alpha , \alpha ijDijv (\varepsilon ) - \lambda \mathrm{t}\mathrm{r}\alpha v(\varepsilon ) + d \surd \mathrm{d}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{t}\alpha f (\varepsilon ) \leq 0,\Bigl( \lambda v(\varepsilon )\delta ij - Dijv (\varepsilon ) \Bigr) \geq 0, \bigm| \bigm| Dv(\varepsilon )\bigm| \bigm| \leq \surd \lambda v(\varepsilon ). (4.8) Next, by Itô’s formula the process v(\varepsilon )(xt)e - \phi t - t\int 0 e - \phi sDiv (\varepsilon )(xs) dB i s + t\int 0 e - \phi s - \lambda \tau s \bigl( csv (\varepsilon ) - aijs Dijv (\varepsilon ) \bigr) (xs) dAs is a local martingale. Here owing to (4.8)\Bigl( csv (\varepsilon ) - aijs Dijv (\varepsilon ) \Bigr) dAs - Div (\varepsilon ) dBi s \geq \geq (\mathrm{d}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{t} as) 1/df (\varepsilon ) dAs - \lambda \mathrm{t}\mathrm{r} asv (\varepsilon ) dAs - \surd \lambda v(\varepsilon ) | dBs| . Therefore, for M \varepsilon = \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} x\in \BbbR d v(\varepsilon )(x) the process \kappa \varepsilon t := v(\varepsilon )(xt)e - \phi t + t\int 0 e - \phi sf (\varepsilon )(xs) dAs - t\int 0 e - \phi s \bigl( \lambda \mathrm{t}\mathrm{r} as dAs - \surd \lambda | dBs| \bigr) M \varepsilon is a local supermartingale. In addition, it is bounded from below by a summable quantity (A,B < <\infty ). Hence, it is a supermartingale and by Fatou’s lemma Ev(\varepsilon )(x0) = \kappa \varepsilon 0 \geq E \infty \int 0 e - \phi t(\mathrm{d}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{t} at) 1/df (\varepsilon )(xt) dAt - M \varepsilon (\lambda A+ \surd \lambda B). By sending \varepsilon \downarrow 0 and using (4.7) and Fatou’s lemma once more, we obtain E \infty \int 0 e - \phi t(\mathrm{d}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{t} at) 1/df(xt) dAt \leq N(d) 1 \lambda 1/2 \Bigl( 1 + \lambda A+ \surd \lambda B \Bigr) \| f\| Ld(\BbbR d). Now we use the arbitrariness of \lambda . If A < B2, then for \lambda = B - 2 we have 1 \lambda 1/2 \Bigl( 1 + \lambda A+ \surd \lambda B \Bigr) \leq 3B1/2 \leq 3(B2 +A)1/2. If A \geq B2 and A > 0, then for \lambda = A - 1 the above inequality between the extreme terms still holds. Finally, if A = B = 0, then the left-hand side of (4.5) is zero. The lemma is proved.

Assume the notation of Lemma 4.1 and let p, q \in [1,\infty ] be such that \theta := 1 - d p - 1 q \geq 0, then, for any Borel f(t, x) \geq 0, we have I(p, q, f) := E \gamma \int 0 e - \phi t\kappa tf(rt, xt) dAt \leq N(d)(A+B2)d/(2p)\| f\| p,q, (4.9) where \kappa t = r 1/q t (\mathrm{d}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{t} at) 1/pc\theta t and for any \alpha \geq 0 we set \alpha 0 = 1 (say, if \theta = 0). Proof. By Hölder’s inequality, if \theta > 0, I(p, q, f) \leq \Bigl( I \bigl( p(1 - \theta ), q(1 - \theta ), f1/(1 - \theta ) \bigr) \Bigr) 1 - \theta . It follows that it suffices to concentrate on \theta = 0. Then we observe that if q = \infty , then p = d and \| f\| pp,q = \int \BbbR d \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} t\geq 0 fd(t, x) dx. In that case (4.12) follows from Lemma 4.2. If p = \infty , then q = 1, and I(p, q, f) = E \gamma \int 0 rtf(\tau t, xt) dAt \leq E \gamma \int 0 \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} x f(\tau t, x) d\tau t \leq \infty \int 0 \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} x f(t, x) dt = \| f\| p,q. In the third simple situation when q = p = d+1 estimate (4.12) follows from Lemma 4.1. We prove the lemma in the remaining cases by interpolating between the above ones. If p > q (and hence p > d + 1) we take a nonnegative function h(t) such that (hf)/h = f (0/0 := 0) and use r 1/q t (\mathrm{d}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{t} at) 1/pf = \Bigl( r 1/q - 1/p t h - 1 \Bigr) \Bigl( (r \mathrm{d}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{t} at) 1/pfh \Bigr) along with Hölder’s inequality. By performing simple manipulations we find I(p, q, f) \leq IJ := := \Bigl( I \bigl( \infty , 1, h - p/(p - d - 1) \bigr) \Bigr) (p - d - 1)/p \Bigl( I \bigl( d+ 1, d+ 1, (hf)p/(d+1) \bigr) \Bigr) (d+1)/p . (4.10) Here I \leq \left( \infty \int 0 h - p/(p - d - 1)(t) dt \right) (p - d - 1)/p . Also J \leq N(d)(B2 +A)d/(2p) \bigm\| \bigm\| \bigm\| (hf)p/(d+1) \bigm\| \bigm\| \bigm\| (d+1)/p d+1 = ISSN 1027-3190. Укр. мат. журн., 2020, т. 72, № 9 1242 N. V. KRYLOV = N(d)(B2 +A)d/(2p) \left( \infty \int 0 \left( \int \BbbR d fp(t, x) dx \right) hp(t) dt \right) 1/p . We now choose h so that h - p/(p - d - 1)(t) = \left( \int \BbbR d fp(t, x) dx \right) hp(t). Then both quantities become\left( \int \BbbR d fp(t, x) dx \right) q/p , J \leq N(d)(B2 +A)d/(2p)\| f\| q/pp,q , I \leq \| f\| q(p - d - 1)/p p,q and coming back to (4.10) we get (4.9). In the remaining case q > p (and q > d+ 1) we use r 1/q t (\mathrm{d}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{t} at) 1/pf = \Bigl( (\mathrm{d}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{t} at) 1/p - 1/qh - 1 \Bigr) \Bigl( (r \mathrm{d}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{t} at) 1/qfh \Bigr) . This time for h = h(x) I(p, q, f) \leq IJ := := \Bigl( I \bigl( d,\infty , h - q/(q - d - 1) \bigr) \Bigr) (q - d - 1)/q \Bigl( I \bigl( d+ 1, d+ 1, (hf)q/(d+1) \bigr) \Bigr) (d+1)/q . (4.11) Here I \leq N(d)(B2 +A)(d/p - d/q)(1/2) \left( \int \BbbR d h - qd/(q - d - 1)(x) dx \right) (q - d - 1)/(qd) , J \leq N(d)(B2 +A)d/(2q) \left( \int \BbbR d hq(x) \left( \infty \int 0 f q(t, x) dt \right) dx \right) 1/q . We choose h so that h - qd/(q - d - 1)(x) = hq(x) \left( \infty \int 0 f q(t, x) dt \right) and then easily come to (4.12). The theorem is proved. Corollary 4.1. Introduce a measure (Green’s measure) on Borel subsets \Gamma of \BbbR d+1 by the formula G(\Gamma ) = E \gamma \int 0 e - \phi t\kappa tI\Gamma (\tau t, xt) dAt. ISSN 1027-3190. Укр. мат. журн., 2020, т. 72, № 9 ON TIME INHOMOGENEOUS STOCHASTIC ITÔ EQUATIONS WITH DRIFT IN Ld+1 1243 Assume that A,B <\infty and set p\prime = p/(p - 1), q\prime = q/(q - 1). Then G(\Gamma ) is absolutely continuous and its density G(t, x) is such that, if p \geq q,\left( \infty \int 0 \left( \int \BbbR d Gp \prime (t, x) dx \right) q\prime /p\prime dt \right) 1/q\prime and, if p \leq q, \left( \int \BbbR d \left( \infty \int 0 Gq \prime (t, x) dt \right) p\prime /q\prime dx \right) 1/q\prime is dominated by N(d)(B2 +A)(1 - \theta )d/(2p). Theorem 4.2. Under the assumptions of Theorem 4.1 let p0 \in [1,\infty ] and q0 \in [1,\infty ) be such that \theta 0 := 1 - d p0 - 1 q0 \geq 0. Also assume that d| Bt| \ll dAt and there exists a Borel h(t, x) such that (P (d\omega )\times dAt-a.e.) | bt| \leq \kappa 0th(\tau t, xt), where bt = dBt/dAt and \kappa 0t = r 1/q0 t (\mathrm{d}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{t} at) 1/p0c\theta 0t . Then for any Borel f(t, x) \geq 0 we have I(p, q, f) := E \gamma \int 0 e - \phi t\kappa tf(\tau t, xt) dAt \leq N(d, p0, q0)C\| f\| p,q, (4.12) where \kappa t = r 1/q t (\mathrm{d}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{t} at) 1/pc\theta t , C = \Bigl( A+ \| h\| 2p0/(p0 - d)p0,q0 \Bigr) d/(2p) and for any number \alpha \geq 0 we set \alpha 0 = 1 (say, if \theta = 0). Proof. Observe that p0 > d since q0 < \infty . Then, we may assume that A < \infty and \| h\| p0,q0 < <\infty . Using stopping times we easily reduce the general situation to the one in which B <\infty . After that, in light of Theorem 4.1, we need only prove that B \leq N(d, p0, q0) \Bigl( A1/2 + \| h\| p0/(p0 - d)p0,q0 \Bigr) . (4.13) By Theorem 4.1 B = E \tau \int 0 e - \phi t | dBt| \leq I(p0, q0, h) \leq N(d)(A+B2)d/(2p0)\| h\| p0,q0 . Here if B2 \leq A, estimate (4.13) holds. If A \leq B2, then the above inequality yields B \leq N(d)Bd/p0\| h\| p0,q0 , B(p0 - d)/p0 \leq N(d)\| h\| p0,q0 and we obtain (4.13) again. The theorem is proved. ISSN 1027-3190. Укр. мат. журн., 2020, т. 72, № 9 1244 N. V. KRYLOV Remark 4.1. In the case of q = \infty , p = d an estimate of B in terms of \| h\| p,q is given in Theorem 5.2 of [6] if \gamma is the first exit time of xt from a ball and in Theorem 2.17 of [9] if At = t and ct = \lambda \mathrm{t}\mathrm{r} at, where \lambda > 0 is a number (and \gamma = \infty ). Remark 4.2. As in [11] we note that estimate (4.12) also, obviously, holds if | bt| \leq n\sum k=1 \kappa kt hk(\tau t, xt), where \kappa kt = r 1/qk t (\mathrm{d}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{t} at) 1/pkc\theta kt , pk \in [1,\infty ], qk \in [1,\infty ), \theta k = 1 - d/pk - 1/qk \geq 0, and hk are nonnegative Borel functions. In that case the constant C depends only on d, p, q, pk, qk, \| hk\| pk,qk , k = 1, . . . , n, in a somewhat complicated way. Remark 4.3. The main case of applications of Theorem 4.2 in this article is when p = p0 < <\infty , q = q0 <\infty , \theta = \theta 0 = 0, \gamma = T, where T is a fixed number, rt = 1, ct = 0, At = t \wedge T, | bt| \leq (\mathrm{d}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{t} at) 1/ph(t, xt)It\leq T . In that case 2p/(p - d) = 2q and estimate (4.12) becomes E T\int 0 (\mathrm{d}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{t} at) 1/pf(t, x)dt \leq N(d, p) \bigl( T + \| hI(0,T )\| 2qp,q \bigr) d/(2p) \| f\| p,q. We finish the section with somewhat unrelated result which we use later in Section 6 and which would be a simple consequence of Theorem 4.5.1 of [14] if we assumed that b is bounded. Lemma 4.3. Let xt, t \geq 0, be an \BbbR d-valued process on a probability space (\Omega ,\scrF , P ). Define \scrF t as the completion of the \sigma -field generated by xs, s \leq t. Let \sigma t be an \BbbS \delta -valued and b be an \BbbR d-valued processes which are progressively measurable with respect to \{ \scrF t\} . Suppose that for any T \in (0,\infty ) T\int 0 | bt| dt <\infty (a. s.) and for any C\infty 0 (\BbbR d+1)-function u(t, x) the process u(t, xt) - t\int 0 Lsu(s, xs) ds (4.14) is a local martingale with respect to \{ \scrF t\} , where for a = \sigma 2 Ltu(t, x) = \partial tu(t, x) + 1 2 aijt Diju(t, x) + bitDiu(t, x). Then there exists a d-dimensional Wiener process (wt,\scrF t), t \geq 0, such that xt = x0 + t\int 0 \sigma s dws + t\int 0 bs ds. ISSN 1027-3190. Укр. мат. журн., 2020, т. 72, № 9 ON TIME INHOMOGENEOUS STOCHASTIC ITÔ EQUATIONS WITH DRIFT IN Ld+1 1245 Proof. First observe that by using cut-off functions one easily shows that (4.14) is a local martin- gale for any twice continuously differentiable function u. Then, we claim that the following processes are local martingales: Xt := xt - t\int 0 bs ds, Bt := xtx \ast t - t\int 0 \bigl( as + bsx \ast s + xsb \ast s \bigr) ds, At := XtX \ast t - t\int 0 as ds. Indeed, the first two processes are obtained from (4.14) for u = x, xx\ast . Concerning the last one introduce \gamma R as the minimum of \tau R = \mathrm{i}\mathrm{n}\mathrm{f} \bigl\{ t \geq 0 : | xt| \geq R \bigr\} and \mathrm{i}\mathrm{n}\mathrm{f} \left\{ t \geq 0 : t\int 0 | bs| ds+ | Bt| \geq R \right\} . Also let \Phi t = t\int 0 bsIs<\gamma R ds. Observe that Xt\wedge \gamma R and \Phi t are bounded and simple manipulations yield At\wedge \gamma R = t\int 0 Xs\wedge \gamma R d\Phi \ast s - Xt\wedge \gamma R\Phi \ast t + t\int 0 \bigl( d\Phi s \bigr) X\ast s\wedge \gamma R - \Phi tX \ast t\wedge \gamma R +Bt\wedge \gamma R , which by the Lemma from Appendix 2 of [5] shows that At\wedge \gamma R is a martingale. By the above claim the quadratic variation process of the local martingale Xt is t\int 0 as ds. After that our assertion follows directly from Theorem III.10.8 of [7]. The lemma is proved. 5. Proof of Theorem 3.1. Introduce B(t) = \| bI( - \infty ,t)\| qp,q. Lemma 5.1. Suppose that p \geq q and let xt be a solution of (1.2). Then, for 0 \leq s < t < s+1 < <\infty and n = 1, 2, . . . , we have E| xt - xs| n \leq N \bigl( t - s+B2(t0 + t) - B2(t0 + s) \bigr) nd/(2p) , (5.1) where N = N \bigl( n, d, \delta , p, \| b\| \bigr) . ISSN 1027-3190. Укр. мат. журн., 2020, т. 72, № 9 1246 N. V. KRYLOV Proof. We may assume that t0 = 0. Then observe that for any integer n = 1, 2, . . . In+1 := E \left( t\int s b(u, xu) du \right) n+1 = = (n+ 1)!E \int s\leq u1\leq ...\leq un b(u1, xu1) . . . b(un, xun)E \left( t\int un b(u, xu) du | \scrF un \right) du1 . . . dun, where the conditional expectation we can estimate by using Remark 4.3. Then we get In+1 \leq N(n+ 1)In \Bigl( t - s+ \| bI(s,t)\| 2qp,q \Bigr) d/(2p) \| b\| p,q, where N depends only on d, p, and \delta . Here \| bI(s,t)\| 2qp,q = \Bigl( B(t) - B(s) \Bigr) 2 \leq B2(t) - B2(s). Therefore, In+1 \leq N(n+ 1)In \Bigl( t - s+B2(t) - B2(s) \Bigr) d/(2p) \| b\| p,q. The induction on n yields In \leq Nnn! \bigl( t - s+B2(t) - B2(s) \bigr) nd/(2p) \| b\| np,q. Also, as is well-known, E \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| t\int s \sigma (u, xu) dwu \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| n \leq N(n, \delta )(t - s)n/2. It follows that the left-hand side of (5.1) is less than a constant N times (t - s)n/2 + \Bigl( t - s+B2(t) - B2(s) \Bigr) nd/(2p) , which less than twice the factor of N in (5.1) because p > d and t - s \leq 1. The lemma is proved. Lemma 5.2. Under the assumptions in Theorem 3.1 (ii) the set of distributions of xn\cdot on C \bigl( [0,\infty ),\BbbR d \bigr) is tight if p \geq q. Proof. Define Bn(t) = \bigm\| \bigm\| bnI( - \infty ,tn+t) \bigm\| \bigm\| q p,q and let \phi n(s) be the inverse function of \psi n(t) := tn + t + B2 n(t n + t). By Lemma 5.1 and Kol- mogorov’s criteria the set of distributions of yn\cdot := xn\phi n(\cdot ) on C \bigl( [0,\infty ),\BbbR d \bigr) is tight. Observe that, as n \rightarrow \infty , \psi n(t) converges to t0 + t + B2(t0 + t) which is continuous and monotone. By Polya’s theorem the convergence is uniform on any finite time interval, and hence, the functions \psi n(t) are equicontinuous on any finite time interval. Now define \Phi (s) = \mathrm{i}\mathrm{n}\mathrm{f} n\geq 1 \phi n(s) ISSN 1027-3190. Укр. мат. журн., 2020, т. 72, № 9 ON TIME INHOMOGENEOUS STOCHASTIC ITÔ EQUATIONS WITH DRIFT IN Ld+1 1247 and take S \in (0,\infty ). By tightness, for any \varepsilon > 0 there is a compact set K\varepsilon in C \bigl( [0, S],\BbbR d \bigr) such that Pn(\{ yns , s \leq S\} \in K\varepsilon ) \geq 1 - \varepsilon for all n. Due to the uniform continuity of \psi n and of the elements of K\varepsilon , the elements of \^K\varepsilon := \Bigl\{ \bigl\{ f(\psi n(t)), t \leq \Phi (S) \bigr\} : \{ f(s), s \leq S\} \in K\varepsilon , n = 1, 2, . . . \Bigr\} are uniformly continuous and, of course, uniformly bounded, so that \^K\varepsilon is a compact set in C \bigl( [0,\Phi (S)],\BbbR d \bigr) and P \Bigl( \bigl\{ yn\psi n(t), t \leq \Phi (S) \bigr\} \in \^K\varepsilon \Bigr) \geq 1 - \varepsilon . It only remains to observe that yn\psi n(t) = xnt , S is arbitrary, and \Phi (S) \rightarrow \infty as S \rightarrow \infty . The lemma is proved. This takes care of part of assertion (ii) of Theorem 3.1. To deal with the rest we rely on the following results due to A. V. Skorokhod (see Ch. 1, \S 6 and Ch. 2, \S 3 in [13]). Lemma 5.3. Suppose that d1-dimensional random processes \xi nt (t \geq 0, n = 1, 2, . . .) are defined on some probability spaces. Assume that for each T > 0 and \varepsilon > 0 \mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{m} c\rightarrow \infty \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} n \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} t\leq T Pn \bigl( | \xi nt | > c \bigr) = 0, (5.2) \mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{m} h\downarrow 0 \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} n \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} t1,t2\leq T | t1 - t2| \leq h Pn \bigl( | \xi nt1 - \xi nt2 | > \varepsilon \bigr) = 0. (5.3) Then one can choose a sequence of numbers n\prime \rightarrow \infty , a probability space, and random processes \~\xi t, \~\xi n\prime t defined on this probability space such that all finite-dimensional distributions of \~\xi n \prime t coincide with the corresponding finite-dimensional distributions of \xi n \prime t and P \bigl( | \~\xi t - \~\xi n \prime t | \bigr) \rightarrow 0 as n\prime \rightarrow \infty for any \varepsilon > 0 and t \geq 0. Lemma 5.4. Suppose the assumptions of Lemma 5.3 are satisfied and \xi nt are defined on the same probability space. Also, suppose that d1-dimensional Wiener processes (wnt ,\scrF n t ) are defined on this probability space. Assume that the functions \xi nt (\omega ) are bounded on [0,\infty )\times \Omega uniformly in n and that the stochastic integrals Int := t\int 0 \xi ns dw n s are defined for t \geq 0. Finally, let \xi nt \rightarrow \xi 0t , wnt \rightarrow w0 t (5.4) in probability as n\rightarrow \infty for each t \geq 0. Then Int \rightarrow I0t in probability as n\rightarrow \infty for each t \geq 0. Remark 5.1. As it follows from the proof of Lemma 5.4 given in [13] we need conditions (5.2), (5.3), and (5.4) to hold only for t, t1, t2 restricted to a set of full measure in order for the assertion of the lemma to be true. ISSN 1027-3190. Укр. мат. журн., 2020, т. 72, № 9 1248 N. V. KRYLOV Lemma 5.5. Let \BbbR 2d-valued processes (xit, w i t), t \geq 0, i = 1, 2, defined on perhaps different probability spaces have the same finite-dimensional distributions. Define \scrF i t as the completion of \sigma (xis, w i s : s \leq t) and assume that w1 t is a Wiener process with respect to \scrF 1 t . Also suppose that (a.s.) for all t \geq 0 x1t = t\int 0 \sigma (s, x1s) dw 1 s + t\int 0 b(s, x1s) ds. (5.5) Then x2t , w 2 t have modifications (called again x2t , w 2 t ) such that w2 t is a Wiener process with respect to \scrF 2 t and (a.s.) for all t \geq 0 x2t = t\int 0 \sigma (s, x2s) dw 2 s + t\int 0 b(s, x2s) ds. (5.6) Proof. Fix T \in (0,\infty ) and \varepsilon \in (0, 1). Since the trajectories of (x1t , w 1 t ) are continuous, there exists a compact set K \subset C \bigl( [0, T ],\BbbR 2d \bigr) such that P \bigl( (x1\cdot \wedge T , w 1 \cdot \wedge T ) \in K \bigr) \geq 1 - \varepsilon . Hence, there is a constant N and a continuous function w(t), t \in [0, T ], such that w(0) = 0 and with probability larger than 1 - \varepsilon for any s, t \in [0, T ]\bigm| \bigm| (x1s, w1 s) \bigm| \bigm| \leq N, \bigm| \bigm| (x1s, w1 s) - (x1t , w 1 t ) \bigm| \bigm| \leq w \bigl( | t - s| \bigr) . (5.7) It follows that (5.7) holds for rational s, t if we replace (x1, w1) with (x2, w2). Then by conti- nuity (x2t , w 2 t ) is extended to all t \in [0, T ]. The extensions coincide with the original ones (a.s.) for any t because of the stochastic continuity of the original (x2t , w 2 t ). This is done on events whose pro- babilities tend to one. Because of the arbitrariness of T we may assume that (x2t , w 2 t ) is continuous in t with probability one. By Remark 4.3 and by the coincidence of finite dimensional distributions (and by the measura- bility of x2t due to its continuity) for any T \in [0,\infty ), Borel f(t, x) \geq 0, E T\int 0 f(t, x2t ) dt \leq N\| fI(0,T )\| p,q, (5.8) where N is independent of f. Furthermore, if \alpha (t, x) is a continuous d \times d symmetric matrix-valued, \beta (t, x) is a continuous \BbbR d-valued, then the distributions of\left( xit, t\int 0 \alpha (s, xis) dw i s, t\int 0 \beta (s, xis) ds \right) , i = 1, 2, coincide, because the integrals can be approximated by integral sums. This coincidence also holds for \alpha = \sigma and \beta = b due to (5.8) and the possibility of approximation. Hence for each t with probability one (5.6) holds due to (5.5). But then with probability one it holds for all t, because both sides of (5.6) are continuous. The lemma is proved. ISSN 1027-3190. Укр. мат. журн., 2020, т. 72, № 9 ON TIME INHOMOGENEOUS STOCHASTIC ITÔ EQUATIONS WITH DRIFT IN Ld+1 1249 Proof of Theorem 3.1. Due to the possibility to use mollifiers we see that assertion (ii) implies (i). In the proof of (ii), thanks to Lemma 5.2, we need only prove the assertion concerning the convergence of finite dimensional distributions. Having in mind Lemma 5.3 define for M > 0 \xi nt = t\int 0 bn(tn + s, xns ) ds, \xi nMt = t\int 0 bn(tn + s, xns )I| bn(tn+s,xns )| \leq M ds. Since the derivative of \xi nMt is bounded, both conditions (5.2) and (5.3) are satisfied for \xi nMt . Furthermore, Pn \left( T\int 0 | bn(tn + s, xns )| I| bn(tn+s,xns )| \geq M ds > \varepsilon \right) \leq \varepsilon - 1N\| bnI| bn| \geq M\| p,q, where N is independent of n and \varepsilon . Since bn \rightarrow b in the \| \cdot \| p,q -norm, the latter quantity can be made as small as we like on the account of choosing M large enough. Therefore, Lemma 5.3 is applicable to \xi nt . It is, obviously, also applicable to \eta nt = xn + t\int 0 \sigma n(tn + s, xns ) dw n s . Hence, there is a subsequence, which by common abuse of notation we identify with the original one, a probability space and random \BbbR 2d-valued processes (\~xnt , \~w n t ), (\~x 0 t , \~w 0 t ) defined on this probability space such that all finite-dimensional distributions of (\~xnt , \~w n t ) coincide with the corresponding finite- dimensional distributions of (xnt , w n t ) and P \bigl( | (\~xnt , \~wnt ) - (\~x0t , \~w 0 t )| \geq \varepsilon \bigr) \rightarrow 0 (5.9) as n \rightarrow \infty for any \varepsilon > 0 and t \geq 0. Furthermore, for any T \in (0,\infty ) there exists a continuous function w(t), t \in [0, T ], such that w(0) = 0 and for all n \geq 0, s, t \leq T, E \bigm| \bigm| \phi (\~xnt ) - \phi (\~xns ) \bigm| \bigm| \leq w \bigl( | t - s| \bigr) , (5.10) where \phi (x) = x/ \bigl( 1 + | x| \bigr) . For n \geq 0 introduce \~\scrF n t as the completion of \sigma (\~xns , \~w n s , s \leq t). It is easy to see, using Kol- mogorov’s continuity criterion, that \~w0 t admits a continuous modification \^w0 t such that \{ \^w0 t , \~\scrF 0 t \} is a Wiener process. By Lemma 5.5, for each n \geq 1, the process (\~xnt , \~w n t ) admits a continuous modification denoted by (\^xnt , \^w n t ) such that ( \^wnt , \~\scrF n t ) is a Wiener process and (a.s.) for all t \geq 0 \^xnt = xn + t\int 0 \sigma n(tn + s, \^xns ) d \^w n s + t\int 0 bn(tn + s, \^xns ) ds. (5.11) In light of (5.9) and (5.10) we have ISSN 1027-3190. Укр. мат. журн., 2020, т. 72, № 9 1250 N. V. KRYLOV P \bigl( | (\^xnt , \^wnt ) - (\~x0t , \~w 0 t )| \geq \varepsilon \bigr) \rightarrow 0 (5.12) as n\rightarrow \infty for any \varepsilon > 0 and, t \geq 0 and for all n \geq 1, s, t \leq T, E \bigm| \bigm| \phi (\^xnt ) - \phi (\^xns ) \bigm| \bigm| \leq w(| t - s| ). (5.13) Now the fact that \~x0t may be not measurable in t causes some problems. However, observe that, owing to (5.12), \phi (\^xnt ) form a Cauchy sequence in L1(\Omega \times [0, T ]) and, hence, converges in that space to \phi (\^x0t ), where \^x0t is measurable with respect to (\omega , t). By Fubini’s theorem there is a set \scrS \subset [0,\infty ) of full measure such that, for any t \in \scrS , \^x0t = \~x0t (a.s.). Without losing the above properties we set \^x0t = 0 for t \not \in \scrS and then, for any s, t \geq 0, \^w0 t+s - \^w0 t is indepenent of (\^x0r , \^w 0 r), r \leq t. Now we note that (5.13) remains valid for n = 0 and (5.12) remains valid if we replace (\~x0t , \~w 0 t ) by (\^x0t , \^w 0 t ) and restrict the ranges of t, s to t, s \in \scrS . This is done to accommodate Remark 5.1. Then, by Lemma 5.4 for any t \geq 0 and continuous d\times d symmetric matrix-valued \alpha (t, x), we have t\int 0 \alpha (s, \^xns ) d \^w n s \rightarrow t\int 0 \alpha (s, \^x0s) d \^w 0 s (5.14) as n \rightarrow \infty in probability. We want to use this to pass to the limit in the stochastic term in (5.11). But first observe that by Remark 4.3 for any T \in [0,\infty ), Borel f(t, x) \geq 0, and n \geq 1 E T\int 0 f(t, \^xnt ) dt \leq N\| fI(0,T )\| p,q, (5.15) where N is independent of f and n. The convergence in probability implies that (5.15) holds for n = 0 as well with the same constant N, first for nonnegative f \in C\infty 0 (\BbbR d+1) and then, due to general measure-theoretic arguments, for any Borel nonnegative f. We claim that on the account of (5.15), if Borel functions gn converge to g in the \| \cdot \| p,q -norm, then E T\int 0 \bigm| \bigm| gn(t, \^xnt ) - g(t, \^x0t ) \bigm| \bigm| dt\rightarrow 0. (5.16) To prove (5.16) take \varepsilon > 0 and g\varepsilon \in C\infty 0 (\BbbR d+1) such that \| g - g\varepsilon \| p,q \leq \varepsilon . For g\varepsilon in place of g, (5.16) follows from the convergence in probability of \^xnt to \^x0t for t \in \scrS . After that it only remains to observe that the limit of the error of the substitution in (5.16) is less than 2N\varepsilon owing to (5.15). It follows, in particular, that in probability \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} t\leq T \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| t\int 0 bn(tn + s, \^xns ) ds - t\int 0 b(t0 + s, \^x0s) ds \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \rightarrow 0. (5.17) Coming back to the stochastic part note that for any t \geq 0 and c \in (0,\infty ) ISSN 1027-3190.

The last quantity also dominates E \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| t\int 0 \sigma (t0 + s, \^x0s) d \^w 0 s - t\int 0 \alpha (s, \^x0s) d \^w 0 s \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| 2 . This and (5.14) show how, for any given \varepsilon , \delta > 0, to choose c and a continuous \alpha in order to have that \mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{m} n\rightarrow \infty P \left( \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| t\int 0 \sigma n(tn + s, \^xns ) d \^w n s - t\int 0 \sigma (tn + s, \^x0s) d \^w 0 s \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| > \varepsilon \right) \leq \delta . Upon combining this with (5.17) and coming back to (5.11) we conclude that for any t (a.s.) \~x0t = x0 + t\int 0 \sigma (t0 + s, \^x0s) d \^w 0 s + t\int 0 b(t0 + s, \^x0s) ds =: yt. In particular, this means that \~x0t admits a continuous modification yt. In turn, it allows us to replace in the above equation \^x0s with yt, because for any s \in \scrS , \^x0s = \~x0s = ys (a.s.) and therefore \^x0s = ys for almost all (\omega , s). The theorem is proved. 6. Markov processes corresponding to \bfitsigma , \bfitb . We are going to use the results in [4] applied in the case when the semicompactum E is \BbbR d+1, that is when the t-variable is considered just as one of coordinates of points (t, x) \in \BbbR d+1. Let \Omega be the set of \BbbR d+1-valued continuous function (t0+ t, xt), t0 \in \BbbR , defined for t \in [0,\infty ). For \omega = \bigl\{ (t0 + t, xt), t \geq 0 \bigr\} , define \sanst t(\omega ) = t0 + t, xt(\omega ) = xt, and set \scrN t = \sigma ((\sanst s, xs), s \leq t), \scrN = \scrN \infty . Denote by \sansT the set of stopping times relative to \{ \scrN t\} . In the following theorem we use the terminology from [3]. Theorem 6.1. On \BbbR d+1 there exists a strong Markov process X = \bigl\{ (\sanst t, xt),\infty ,\scrN t, Pt,x \bigr\} ISSN 1027-3190. Укр. мат. журн., 2020, т. 72, № 9 1252 N. V. KRYLOV such that the process X1 = \bigl\{ (\sanst t, xt),\infty ,\scrN t+, Pt,x \bigr\} is Markov and for any (t, x) \in \BbbR d+1 there exists a d-dimensional Wiener process wt, t \geq 0, which is a Wiener process relative to \=\scrN t, where \=\scrN t is the completion of \scrN t with respect to Pt,x, and such that with Pt,x-probability one, for all s \geq 0, \sanst s = t+ s and xs = x+ s\int 0 \sigma (t+ u, xu) dwu + s\int 0 b(t+ u, xu) du. (6.1) Proof. Define a = \sigma 2, Lu(t, x) = \partial tu(t, x) + 1 2 aijDiju(t, x) + biDiu(t, x) and introduce \Pi t,x as the set of probability measures on (\Omega ,\scrN ) such that P \bigl( (\sanst 0, x0) = (t, x) \bigr) = 1, E T\int 0 | b(\sanst t, xt)| dt <\infty \forall T <\infty , (6.2) and the process \eta t(u) = u(\sanst t, xt) - t\int 0 Lu(\sanst s, xs) ds is a martingal relative to \{ \scrN t\} for all u \in C\infty 0 (\BbbR d+1). According to Lemma 4.3, if Pt,x \in \Pi t,x, then the assertion of the theorem regarding (6.1) holds and (6.2) is true. Therefore, by Theorem 2 of [4] to prove the present theorem, it suffices to show that \Pi t,x \not = \varnothing and \{ \Pi t,x\} is a Markov system relative to (\sansT ,\scrN \sanst ) and ([0,\infty ),\scrN t+). That \Pi t,x \not = \varnothing follows from Theorem 3.1(i). Let us prove that \{ \Pi t,x\} is a B-system. To achieve this, as it follows from [4], it suffices to show that if (tn, xn) \rightarrow (t, x) and Pn \in \Pi tn,xn , then there exists a subsequence n(k) \rightarrow \infty and P 0 \in \Pi t,x such that for any f \in C\infty 0 (\BbbR d+2) En(k) \mathrm{e}\mathrm{x}\mathrm{p} \left( \infty \int 0 e - tf(t, \sanst t, xt) dt \right) \rightarrow E0 \mathrm{e}\mathrm{x}\mathrm{p} \left( \infty \int 0 e - tf(t, \sanst t, xt) dt \right) , where En(k), E0 are the expectation signs with respect to Pn(k), P 0, respectively. The reader will easily derive this property from Theorem 3.1 (ii) by using Taylor’s series and observing that E \left( \infty \int 0 e - tf(t, \sanst t, xt) dt \right) n = = E \infty \int 0 . . . \infty \int 0 e - t1f(t1, \sanst t1 , xt1) . . . e - tnf(tn, \sanst tn , xtn) dt1 . . . dtn. ISSN 1027-3190. Укр. мат. журн., 2020, т. 72, № 9 ON TIME INHOMOGENEOUS STOCHASTIC ITÔ EQUATIONS WITH DRIFT IN Ld+1 1253 What remains is to prove that for (\sansT ,\scrN t) and ([0,\infty ),\scrN t+) the conditions 2 and 3 are satisfied of the definition of Markov system in [4]. This is done by almost literally repeating the corresponding part of the proof of Theorem 3 of [4]. One need only replace there xt with (\sanst t, xt). The theorem is proved. Acknowledgment.
