Is there a way to add events with WhenEvent or similar when using ItoProcess?

Minimal example of my problem would be to change sign when diffusion hits a wall. (Post processing is no good - I need to change several things in the actual problem)

As per edit request a sample SDE:

$$ d x = \frac{\sin x}{1 - \cos x} dt + dW $$

with looping boundary. That is, with $x = \pi + \epsilon$ changing to $x = -\pi + \epsilon$ whenever $x > \pi$ and analog for $x < -\pi$

(Equation is well behaved within $(-\pi,\pi)$ domain)

    $\begingroup$ I might help if you provided an actual example of SDE + events you would like to solve. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ People here generally like users to post code as Mathematica code instead of just images or TeX, so they can copy-paste it. It makes it convenient for them and more likely you will get someone to help you. You may find this meta Q&A helpful $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ I don’t think it’s possible, but I’m waiting for someone to show me I’m wrong. RandomFunction on SDE does not seem to be programmed to handle events. (In the example you might be able to post-process the time series, but that seems rather specific to the SDE and event.) $\endgroup$

This shows how it works:

proc = ItoProcess[\[DifferentialD]X[
     t] == -α WhenEvent[x[t] == 1., 
      x[t] -> -x[t]] Exp[-α t] Log[X0/K] X[
      t] \[DifferentialD]t + σ X[t] \[DifferentialD]W[t], 
  X[t], {X, X0}, t, W \[Distributed] WienerProcess[]]
Mean[proc[t]]
PDF[proc[t], x]
proc1 = proc /. {X0 -> 70, K -> 2, σ -> 0.1, α -> 0.3};
DiscretePlot[PDF[proc1[t], x], {x, 0, 10}]
CovarianceFunction[proc1, s, t]

The DiscretePlot is very time-consuming, so I shortened that. Definitely this does not work if the questions target to use RandomFunction.

Plot3D[CovarianceFunction[proc1, s, t], {s, 0, 5}, {t, 0, 5}, ColorFunction -> "Rainbow"]

The equation given in the question might not work because the denominator is singular at infinitely many points. Mathematica works on the Complexes.

In this methodolgoy Mod is an alternative.

proc4 = ItoProcess[\[DifferentialD]x[t] == 
   Sin[Mod[x[t], \[Pi]]]/(
     1 - Cos[Mod[x[t], \[Pi]]]) \[DifferentialD]t + \[DifferentialD]w[
      t], x[t], {x, 1}, t, w \[Distributed] WienerProcess[]]

(* ItoProcess[{{-( Sin[Mod[x[t], [Pi]]]/(-1 + Cos[Mod[x[t], [Pi]]]))}, {{1}}, x[t]}, {{x}, {1}}, {t, 0}] *)

RandomFunction[proc4, {0., 1., 0.01}]

RandomFunction

Further extended:

    f[x_] := Piecewise[Table[{Sin[x - n*Pi - \[Epsilon]]/(1 - Cos[x - n*Pi - \[Epsilon]]), 
     -Pi + n*Pi + \[Epsilon] <= x <= Pi + n*Pi + \[Epsilon]}, {n, -5, 5}]]
Plot[f[x], {x, -6*Pi + \[Epsilon], 6*Pi + \[Epsilon]}]

works too with the RandomProcess representation and therefore complete. But still the problem remains that the function is singular for 2 n 𝜋, Element[n,Integers].

ListLinePlot[%, Filling -> Axis]

ListLinePlot

Using the Fourier make this ideally periodic. For example:

p = Table[
   f[x], {x, \[Epsilon], 
    6 \[Pi] + \[Epsilon], (6 \[Pi] + \[Epsilon])/999}];
s = Fourier[p];
ListPlot[Abs[InverseFourier@s], PlotRange -> Full]

And the use this as an InterpolatingFunction of x: Interpolation@InverseFourier@s.
