A method of second order accuracy integration of stochastic differential equations
G. N. Mil'šteĭn Sverdlovsk
Abstract:
For the stochastic differential equation
$$
dX=a(t,X)\,dt+\sigma(t,X)\,dw,\qquad X(t_0)=x,\ t_0\le t\le t_0+T,
$$
the problem of approximate calculation of the expectation
$\mathbf Mf(X_{t_0,x}(t_0+T))$ is considered.
Rather a simple method is proposed for recursive modeling of random variables
$$
\overline X_{t_0,x}(t_k);\quad k=0,1,\dots;\quad t_k=t_0+kh;\quad h=\frac{T}{m};
$$
such that
$$
\mathbf Mf(X_{t_0,x}(t_0+T))=\mathbf Mf(\overline X_{t_0,x}(t_0+T))+O(h^2).
$$
