| contents | This work gives sufficient conditions for uniqueness in law of semimartingale, obliquely reflecting Brownian motion in a nonpolyhedral, piecewise ${\cal C}^2$ cone, with radially constant, Lipschitz continuous direction of reflection on each face.
The conditions are shown to be verified by the conjectured diffusion approximation to the workload in a class of bandwidth sharing networks, thus ensuring that the conjectured limit is uniquely characterized. This is a key step in proving the diffusion approximation.
This uniqueness result is made possible by replacing the Krein-Rutman theorem used by Kwon and Williams (1993) in a smooth cone with the recent reverse ergodic theorem for inhomogeneous, killed Markov chains of Costantini and Kurtz (2024). |
