A stochastic Gronwall inequality and applications to moments, strong completeness, strong local Lipschitz continuity, and perturbations

Abstract

There are numerous applications of the classical (deterministic) Gronwall inequality. Recently, Michael Scheutzow discovered a stochastic Gronwall inequality which provides upper bounds for $p$-th moments, $p\in (0,1)$, of the supremum of nonnegative scalar continuous processes which satisfy a linear integral inequality. In this article we complement this with upper bounds for $p$-th moments, $p\in [2,\infty )$, of the supremum of general Itô processes which satisfy a suitable one-sided affine-linear growth condition. As example applications, we improve known results on strong local Lipschitz continuity in the starting point of solutions of stochastic differential equations (SDEs), on (exponential) moment estimates for SDEs, on strong completeness of SDEs, and on perturbation estimates for SDEs.
