On positive approximations of positive diffusions
نویسنده
چکیده
For positive diffusions, we construct split-step second-order weak approximations preserving the positivity property. For illustration, we apply the construction to some popular stochastic differential equations such as Verhulst, CIR, and CKLS equations.

Positive time fractional derivative
In mathematical modeling of the non-squared frequency-dependent diffusions, also known as the anomalous diffusions, it is desirable to have a positive real Fourier transform for the time derivative of arbitrary fractional or odd integer order. The Fourier transform of the fractional time derivative in the Riemann-Liouville and Caputo senses, however, involves a complex power function of the fra...
متن کاملGaussian and Affine Approximation of Stochastic Diffusion Models for Interest and Mortality Rates
In the actuarial literature, it has become common practice to model future capital returns and mortality rates stochastically in order to capture market risk and forecasting risk. Although interest rates often should and mortality rates always have to be non-negative, many authors use stochastic diffusion models with an affine drift term and additive noise. As a result, the diffusion process is...
متن کاملOn Strong Solutions for Positive Definite Jump Diffusions
We show the existence of unique global strong solutions of a class of stochastic differential equations on the cone of symmetric positive definite matrices. Our result includes affine diffusion processes and therefore extends considerably the known statements concerning Wishart processes, which have recently been extensively employed in financial mathematics. Moreover, we consider stochastic di...
متن کاملGaussian Approximations of Small Noise Diffusions in Kullback-leibler Divergence
Abstract. We study Gaussian approximations to the distribution of a diffusion. The approximations are easy to compute: they are defined by two simple ordinary differential equations for the mean and the covariance. Time correlations can also be computed via solution of a linear stochastic differential equation. We show, using the Kullback-Leibler divergence, that the approximations are accurate...
متن کاملOn Product-form Stationary Distributions for Reflected Diffusions with Jumps in the Positive Orthant
In this paper we study the stationary distributions for reflected diffusions with jumps in the positive orthant. Under the assumption that the stationary distribution possesses a density in R+ that satisfies certain finiteness conditions, we characterize the Fokker-Planck equation. We then provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a product-form distribution for diffusion...
