For Itô Processes $dX(t) = \mu(t) \mathrm{d}t + \sigma(t) \mathrm{d}W(t)$ you have the result that (under appropriate assumptions which ensure that the local martingale is a martingale, e.g. $E( (\int \sigma(t)^2 \mathrm{d}t )^{1/2} ) < \infty$, etc.): $X$ is a martingale $\Leftrightarrow$ $\mu(t) = 0$. So in order to check if a process $X$ is a ...

Rather simply and generally when you take the stochastic differential of a process and get no drift term but simply an ito integral, then this process is a martingale. From memory that's how you retrieve some pde equations whose solutions lead to martingale (take the differential, look at the dt partial differentials term, then look for solution that would ...

this question can be quite straightforward or gnarly depending on whether you can observe measurements of $x_t$ directly or not. in the latter case, in general it will become a nonlinear system, and will require application of the extended kalman filter or its improvement, the unscented kalman filter. On Edit: Now that the bounty has expired, let me answer ...

As Quartz says it is possible to make non-linear transformations taking into account skew and kurtosis, but this is mostly is limited to univariate processes (one approach for a t distribution is to match moments). For multivariate processes, it is considerably more difficult. A more general solution is to rely on Entropy Pooling. You could take views on ...
