Let $B(t)$ be a 1-dimensional Brownian motion. Consider the scalar linear stochastic equation
$$
\ddot{x}(t)+\kappa x(t)=h \dot{B}(t) \quad \text{ on } t \geq 0,
$$
where $h$ is a positive constant and $\kappa$ is a real function.
By introducing the new variable $y(t)=\dot{x}(t)$, the corresponding Itô equation is
$$
d\left[\begin{array}{l}
x(t) \\
y(t)
\end{array}\right]=A\left[\begin{array}{l}
x(t) \\
y(t)
\end{array}\right] d t+\left[\begin{array}{l}
0 \\
h
\end{array}\right] d B(t)\quad \quad (*)
$$
where
$$
A=\left[\begin{array}{cc}
0 & 1 \\
-\kappa & 0
\end{array}\right]
$$
Given any initial value $(x(0), y(0))=\left(x_{0}, y_{0}\right) \in R^{2}$, we know that equation (*) has the unique solution
$$
\left[\begin{array}{l}
x(t) \\
y(t)
\end{array}\right]=e^{A t}\left[\begin{array}{l}
x_{0} \\
y_{0}
\end{array}\right]+\int_{0}^{t} e^{A(t-s)}\left[\begin{array}{l}
0 \\
h
\end{array}\right] d B(s)
$$
Is it possible to still calculate the solution of (*) if we add to it a Dirac delta? That is:
$$
d\left[\begin{array}{l}
x(t) \\
y(t)
\end{array}\right]=A\left[\begin{array}{l}
x(t) \\
y(t)
\end{array}\right] d t+\left[\begin{array}{l}
0 \\
h
\end{array}\right] d B(t)+\left[\begin{array}{l}
\kappa_2 \\
\kappa_1
\end{array}\right]d\Theta(t)\quad \quad (*)'
$$
where $\Theta$ is the Heaviside step function with the distributional derivative $\dot \Theta=\delta$ and $\kappa_1$, $\kappa_2$ are two real numbers.
