Abstract: In this paper we present a numerical scheme for stochastic differential equations based upon the Wiener chaos expansion. The approximation of a square integrable stochastic differential equation is obtained by cutting off the infinite chaos expansion in chaos order and in number of basis elements. We derive an explicit upper bound for the L2 approximation error associated with our method. The proofs are based upon an application of Malliavin calculus.


The authors consider a one dimensional continuous stochastic process \(X_t\) that satisfies the stochastic differential equation \[ dX_t = b(t,X_t)dt + \sigma(t,X_t) dW_t, \quad X_0 = x_0, \] where \(W_t\) is a Brownian motion defined on a filtered probability space \((\Omega,\mathcal{F}, (\mathcal{F}_t), P)\). Let \(e_i\) be an orthonormal basis of the separable Hilbert space \(L^2(0,T])\). If \(X_t \in L^2(\Omega,\mathcal{F}, P)\), then it admits the chaotic expansion \[ X_t = \sum_{a \in\mathcal{I}} x_a(t) \Psi^a, \] where \(x_a\) are deterministic functions, \(\Psi^a\) are mutually orthogonal random projections that are associated to the basis \(e_i\) and the index \(\mathcal{I}\) is defined via \[ \mathcal{I} = \{ a = a_i : a_i \mathbb{N}_0 \text{ and almost all } a_i's \text{ are } 0 \}. \] They consider the approximation \[ X_t^{p,k} = \sum_{a \in\mathcal{I}_{p,k}} x_a(t) \Psi^a, \] where the subset \(\mathcal{I}_{p,k} \subseteq\mathcal{I}\) refers to using orthogonal projections \(\Psi^a\) only with respect to the first \(k\) basis elements \(e_i\) and only up to the \(p\)th order Wiener chaos.
