Invariance for stochastic differential systems with time-dependent constraining sets.

The first part of this article presents invariance criteria for a stochastic differential equation whose state evolution is constrained by time-dependent security tubes. The key results of this section are derived by considering an equivalent problem where the square of distance function represents a viscosity solution to an adequately defined partial differential equation. The second part of the paper analyzes the broader context when solutions are constrained by more general time-dependent convex domains. The approach relies on forward stochastic variational inequalities with oblique reflection, the generalized subgradients acting as a reacting process that operates only when the solution reaches the boundary of the domain.
