Numerical integration of stochastic differential equations
Summary
In this course we will introduce and study numerical integrators for stochastic differential equations. These numerical methods are important for many applications.
Content
Review of stochastic calculus; Brownian motion, Stochastic integral; Ito's formula, stochastic differential equations; generator; Feynman-Kac's formula
Numerical methods for stochastic differential equations; Euler Maruyama scheme; strong and weak convergence; Milstein scheme and other higher order integrators; stability; Multi-level Monte-Carlo methods
Other topics that may be addressed if time permits:
numerical integration of non-Lipschits SDEs; approximation of mean exit time and stopped diffusion; long time integration and approximation of invariant measure; numerical integration of jump diffusion processes; numerical integration of McKean Valsov equations.
Learning Prerequisites
Recommended courses
Numerical Analysis, Advanced probability, Stochastic processes (or equivalent), Stochastic calculus
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, the student must be able to:
- Analyze the convergence and the stability properties of stochastic numerical methods
- Implement numerical methods for solving stochastic differential equations
- Choose an appropriate numerical method to solve stochastic differential equations
- Manipulate Ito calculus to be able to perfom computations with stochastic differential equations
- Manipulate models based on stochastic differential equations
Teaching methods
Ex cathedra lecture, exercises in classroom and computer lab
Assessment methods
