A Strong Order 1/2 Method for Multidimensional SDEs with Discontinuous Drift

چکیده
In this paper we consider multidimensional stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with discontinuous drift and possibly degenerate diffusion coefficient. We prove an existence and uniqueness result for this class of SDEs and we present a numerical method that converges with strong order 1/2. Our result is the first one that shows strong convergence for such a general class of SDEs. The proof is based on a transformation technique that removes the discontinuity from the drift such that the coefficients of the transformed SDE are Lipschitz continuous. Thus the Euler-Maruyama method can be applied to this transformed SDE. The approximation can be transformed back, giving an approximation to the solution of the original SDE. As an illustration, we apply our result to an SDE the drift of which has a discontinuity along the unit circle.

Convergence of the Euler–Maruyama method for multidimensional SDEs with discontinuous drift and degenerate diffusion coefficient
We prove strong convergence of order [Formula: see text] for arbitrarily small [Formula: see text] of the Euler-Maruyama method for multidimensional stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with discontinuous drift and degenerate diffusion coefficient. The proof is based on estimating the difference between the Euler-Maruyama scheme and another numerical method, which is constructed by applying...
متن کاملA strong order 1/2 method for SDEs with discontinuous drift and degenerate diffusion
When solving certain stochastic optimization problems, e.g., in mathematical finance, the optimal control policy is of threshold type, meaning that it depends on the controlled process in a discontinuous way. The stochastic differential equations (SDEs) modeling the underlying process then typically have discontinuous drift and degenerate diffusion parameter. This motivates the study of a more ...
متن کاملStochastic averaging for SDEs with Hopf Drift and polynomial diffusion coefficients
It is known that a stochastic differential equation (SDE) induces two probabilistic objects, namely a difusion process and a stochastic flow. While the diffusion process is determined by the innitesimal mean and variance given by the coefficients of the SDE, this is not the case for the stochastic flow induced by the SDE. In order to characterize the stochastic flow uniquely the innitesimal cov...
متن کاملOn Weak Approximation of Stochastic Differential Equations with Discontinuous Drift Coefficient1
In this paper, weak approximations of multi-dimensional stochastic differential equations with discontinuous drift coefficients are considered. Here as the approximated process, the Euler-Maruyama approximation of SDEs with approximated drift coefficients is used, and we provide a rate of weak convergence of them. Finally we present a rate of weak convergence of the Euler-Maruyama approximation...
متن کاملStrong convergence of some drift implicit Eu - ler scheme
We study the convergence of a drift implicit scheme for one-dimensional SDEs that was considered by Alfonsi [1] for the Cox-Ingersoll-Ross (CIR) process. Under general conditions, we obtain a strong convergence of order 1. In the CIR case, Dereich, Neuenkirch and Szpruch [2] have shown recently a strong convergence of order 1/2 for this scheme. Here, we obtain a strong convergence of order 1 un...
