All-times compact support for the discrete SDE system

Determine whether, for solutions X to the spatially discrete infinite-dimensional SDE system dX_t(i) = (∑_{j∈ℤ^d} q(i−j)(X_t(j)−X_t(i))) dt + f(X_t(i)) dt + σ(X_t(i)) dB_t(i) with Hölder noise coefficient satisfying σ(x)≈x^γ near zero for γ ∈ (0,1/2), the support of X_t is compact for all times t ∈ [0,T] almost surely (i.e., whether there are no exceptional times with non-compact support).

Background

The main theorem shows that for γ∈(0,1/2) the times with compact support form a set of full Lebesgue measure, but it does not exclude exceptional times when the support might be non-compact.

The authors also prove that the classical compact support property (boundedness of the union of supports over [0,T]) fails and, in a special case, that times when the support is arbitrarily large are dense, but whether compactness holds at every single time remains unresolved.

References

Whether or not the support remains compact at all times remains open; however, the classical compact support property as stated in CSP cannot hold for solutions to e_sdesystem, because the union of the supports over different times is unbounded; see Proposition~\ref{prop_unbounded}.
