Exponential Timestepping with Boundary Test for Stochastic Differential Equations

From MaRDI portal





Two numerical methods using timestepping in which successive time increments are independent realizations of an exponential random variable are proposed for approximating the solution of the stochastic differential equation \[ dX_t= f(X_t)\,dt+ \sigma(X_t)\,dW_t. \] The methods are designed to be particularly effective for escape time problems in as much as the possibility of a boundary having been penetrated can be easily gauged after each timestep. Results of numerical experiments to estimate mean escape times are summarized, results which show a substantial advantage of these methods compared to the standard Euler method.
