Abstract
This article is devoted to showing the existence and uniqueness (EU) of a solution with non-Lipschitz coefficients (NLC) of fractional Itô-Doob stochastic differential equations driven by countably many Brownian motions (FIDSDECBMs) of order by using the Picard iteration technique (PIT) and the semimartingale local time (SLT).
1. Introduction
The concept of the fractional derivative of order a, where , has been introduced by many scientists including Joseph Liouville and Bernhard Riemann in the 19th century. Recently, fractional calculus is a useful mathematical tool for applied sciences. Fractional calculus is a natural generalization of differential calculus. Later, Fourier, Abel, Liouville, Riemann, Riesz, and Caputo, among others, contributed to its development. They defined derivatives and integrals of noninteger order.
The importance of fractional calculus is an essential tool in the modeling of real phenomena. One might think that this area for fractional calculus is a question of “pure” mathematics without interest for the applications. However, a simple example from fluid mechanics shows how the derivative of order appears quite naturally when one wants to explain a flow of heat coming out laterally from a fluid flow according to the temporal evolution of the internal source (see [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]).
One of the most famous class of the fractional equations are the fractional Itô–Doob stochastic differential equations (FIDSDEs). In the literature, there are a few papers on the FIDSDE (see [8,9,10,11]). In [9], the authors discuss the averaging principle of FIDSDE with NLC. In [8], the authors examine the EU and mean square stability of solutions to the non-Lipschitz FIDSDE.
Motivated by several works in the literature, we extend, the results from the ordinary stochastic differential equations in [12,13] to the fractional Itô–Doob sense. The main contributions of this article are as follows:
- To investigate the EU of solutions to FIDSDECBM with NLC;
- To use the PIT and the SLT in our results.

Combining our results in this paper with those of [16], we can discuss the EU of the solution with NLC of FIDSDE driven by countably many G-Brownian motions.
