Sufficient conditions to avoid negative volatility factors are the multivariate Feller conditions. We will prove their necessity for a 2-dimensional square root SDE with one volatility factor by presenting a methodology based on measure transformations and solving linear systems of ordinary differential equations.15 pages, 0 figuresProbabilitytext
