Bilateral Harnack inequalities for stochastic differential equation with multiplicative noise (Q2171679)

Summary: By constructing a coupling with unbounded time-dependent drift, a lower bound estimate of dimension-free Harnack inequality with power is obtained for a large class of stochastic differential equation with multiplicative noise. The key is an application of the inverse Hölder inequality. Combining this with the well-known upper bound, bilateral dimension-free Harnack inequality with power is established. As a dual inequality, the bilateral shift-Harnack inequalities with power are also investigated for stochastic differential equation with additive noise. Applications to the study of heat kernel inequalities are provided to illustrate the obtained inequalities.
