Abstract

In this paper, the object of study is a Skorohod SDE in a convex polyhedron with oblique reflection at the boundary. We prove that the solution is pathwise differentiable with respect to its deterministic starting point up to the time when two of the faces are hit simultaneously. The resulting derivatives evolve according to an ordinary differential equation, when the process is in the interior of the polyhedron, and they are projected to the tangent space, when the process hits the boundary, while they jump in the direction of the corresponding reflection vector.
