Exact simulation of diffusions

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We describe a new, surprisingly simple algorithm, that simulates exact sample paths of a class of stochastic differential equations. It involves rejection sampling and, when applicable, returns the location of the path at a random collection of time instances. The path can then be completed without further reference to the dynamics of the target process.


A new comparatively simple algorithm based on rejection sampling is constructed, that simulates exact sample paths, in particular local extrema and hitting times, of the solution of \(dX_t=\alpha(X_t)dt+dB_t\), \(\alpha\) differentiable, \(B\) Brownian motion, \(0\leq t\leq T\), \(X_0=0\). When applicable, the algorithm returns the location of the path at a random collection of time instances. The path can be completed without further reference to the dynamics of the target process.
