Abstract

Assume that for every s\n\∈ [0,T] and every Borel probability measure \ν on \ℝd there is\nat least one solution \μ = (\μt)t \∈ [s,T] to the FPK-eq. such that\n\μs = \ν and t \↦ \μt is continuous w.r.t. the topology of weak\nconvergence of measures. We prove that in this situation, one can always select\none solution \μs,\ν for each pair (s,\ν) such that this family of\nsolutions fulfills\n
