Abstract

We prove existence and uniqueness for semimartingale reflecting diffusions in 2-dimensional piecewise smooth domains with varying, oblique directions of reflection on each ”side”, under geometric, easily verifiable conditions. Our conditions are optimal in the sense that, in the case of a convex polygon, they reduce to the conditions of Dai and Williams (1996), which are necessary for existence of reflecting Brownian motion. Moreover our conditions allow for cusps. Our argument is based on a new localization result for constrained martingale problems which holds quite generally: as an additional example, we show that it holds for diffusions with jump boundary conditions.
