چکیده
This paper introduces a framework for simulating finite dimensional representations of (jump) diffusion sample paths over finite intervals, without discretisation error (exactly), in such a way that the sample path can be restored at any finite collection of time points. Within this framework we extend existing exact algorithms and introduce novel adaptive approaches. We consider an application of the methodology developed within this paper which allows the simulation of upper and lower bounding processes which almost surely constrain (jump) diffusion sample paths to any specified tolerance. We demonstrate the efficacy of our approach by showing that with finite computation it is possible to determine whether or not sample paths cross various irregular barriers, simulate to any specified tolerance the first hitting time of the irregular barrier and simulate killed diffusion sample paths.

Estimation of Continuous Time Processes Via the Empirical Characteristic Function
This paper examines a particular class of continuous-time stochastic processes commonly known as af¿ne diffusions (AD) and af¿ne jump-diffusions (AJD) in which the drift, the diffusion and the jump coef¿cients are all af¿ne functions of the state variables. By deriving the joint characteristic function associated with a vector of observed state variables for such models, we are able to examine ...
متن کاملStability of numerical methods for jump diffusions and Markovian switching jump diffusions
This work is devoted to stability analysis of numerical solutions for jump diffusions and jump diffusions with Markovian switching. Different from the existing treatment of Euler-Maurayama methods for solutions of stochastic differential equations, we use techniques from stochastic approximation. We analyze the almost sure exponential stability and exponential pstability. Then Markovian regime-...
متن کاملA Monte Carlo EM algorithm for discretely observed Diffusions, Jump-diffusions and Lévy-driven Stochastic Differential Equations
Stochastic differential equations driven by standard Brownian motion(s) or Lévy processes are by far the most popular models in mathematical finance, but are also frequently used in engineering and science. A key feature of the class of models is that the parameters are easy to interpret for anyone working with ordinary differential equations, making connections between statistics and other sci...
متن کاملRetrospective Exact Simulation of Diffusion Sample Paths with Applications
The objective of this paper is to present an algorithm, for exact simulation of a class of Ito’s diffusions. We demonstrate that when the algorithm is applicable, it is also straightforward to simulate diffusions conditioned to hit specific values at predetermined time instances. We also describe a method that exploits the properties of the algorithm to carry out inference on discretely observe...
