For the stochastic differential equation (SDE) which has piecewise continuous arguments (PCAs), is driven by multiplicative noises and its drift coefficients are dissipative, we show that the solution at integer time is a Markov chain and admits a unique invariant measure. In order to inherit numerically the invariant measure of SDE with PCAs, we apply the backward Euler (BE) method to the equation, and prove that the numerical solution at integer time is not only Markovian but also reproduces a unique numerical invariant measure. We present the time-independent weak error analysis for the method under certain hypothesis. Further, we show that the numerical invariant measure converges to the original one with order 1. Numerical experiments verify the theoretical analysis.
High-dimensional partial differential equations (PDE) appear in a number of models from the financial industry, such as in derivative pricing models, credit valuation adjustment (CVA) models, or portfolio optimization models. The PDEs in such applications are high-dimensional as the dimension corresponds to the number of financial assets in a portfolio. Moreover, such PDEs are often fully nonlinear due to the need to incorporate certain nonlinear phenomena in the model such as default risks, transaction costs, volatility uncertainty (Knightian uncertainty), or trading constraints in the model. Such high-dimensional fully nonlinear PDEs are exceedingly difficult to solve as the computational effort for standard approximation methods grows exponentially with the dimension. In this work we propose a new method for solving high-dimensional fully nonlinear second-order PDEs. Our method can in particular be used to sample from high-dimensional nonlinear expectations. The method is based on (i) a connection between fully nonlinear second-order PDEs and second-order backward stochastic differential equations (2BSDEs), (ii) a merged formulation of the PDE and the 2BSDE problem, (iii) a temporal forward discretization of the 2BSDE and a spatial approximation via deep neural nets, and (iv) a stochastic gradient descent-type optimization procedure. Numerical results obtained using ${rm T{small ENSOR}F{small LOW}}$ in ${rm P{small YTHON}}$ illustrate the efficiency and the accuracy of the method in the cases of a $100$-dimensional Black-Scholes-Barenblatt equation, a $100$-dimensional Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation, and a nonlinear expectation of a $ 100 $-dimensional $ G $-Brownian motion.
In this paper we present the theoretical framework needed to justify the use of a kernel-based collocation method (meshfree approximation method) to estimate the solution of high-dimensional stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs). Using an implicit time stepping scheme, we transform stochastic parabolic equations into stochastic elliptic equations. Our main attention is concentrated on the numerical solution of the elliptic equations at each time step. The estimator of the solution of the elliptic equations is given as a linear combination of reproducing kernels derived from the differential and boundary operators of the SPDE centered at collocation points to be chosen by the user. The random expansion coefficients are computed by solving a random system of linear equations. Numerical experiments demonstrate the feasibility of the method.
In this paper we discuss new types of differential equations which we call anticipated backward stochastic differential equations (anticipated BSDEs). In these equations the generator includes not only the values of solutions of the present but also the future. We show that these anticipated BSDEs have unique solutions, a comparison theorem for their solutions, and a duality between them and stochastic differential delay equations.
In this paper we study different algorithms for reflected backward stochastic differential equations (BSDE in short) with two continuous barriers basing on random work framework. We introduce different numerical algorithms by penalization method and reflected method. At last simulation results are also presented.
A new second-order method for approximating the compressible Euler equations is introduced. The method preserves all the known invariant domains of the Euler system: positivity of the density, positivity of the internal energy and the local minimum principle on the specific entropy. The technique combines a first-order, invariant domain preserving, Guaranteed Maximum Speed method using a Graph Viscosity (GMS-GV1) with an invariant domain violating, but entropy consistent, high-order method. Invariant domain preserving auxiliary states, naturally produced by the GMS-GV1 method, are used to define local bounds for the high-order method which is then made invariant domain preserving via a convex limiting process. Numerical tests confirm the second-order accuracy of the new GMS-GV2 method in the maximum norm, where 2 stands for second-order. The proposed convex limiting is generic and can be applied to other approximation techniques and other hyperbolic systems.
