Abstract

In this article, we prove that the inverse of Malliavin matrix belongs to $L^p(\Omega,\mathbb{P})$ for a class of degenerate stochastic differential equation (SDE). The conditions required are similar to Hörmander's bracket condition, but we don't need all coefficients of the SDE are smooth. Furthermore, we obtain a locally uniform estimate for the Malliavin matrix and a gradient estimate. We also prove that the semigroup generated by the SDE is strong Feller. These results are illustrated through examples.
