A Simple Stochastic Differential Equation with Discontinuous Drift

A Simple Stochastic Differential Equation with Discontinuous Drift

In this paper we study solutions to stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with discontinuous drift. We apply two approaches: The Euler-Maruyama method and the Fokker-Planck equation and show that a candidate density function based on the Euler-Maruyama method approximates a candidate density function based on the stationary Fokker-Planck equation. Furthermore, we introduce a smooth function ...

A Note on Strong Solutions of Stochastic Differential Equations with a Discontinuous Drift Coefficient

The existence of a mean-square continuous strong solution is established for vectorvalued Itô stochastic differential equations with a discontinuous drift coefficient, which is an increasing function, and with a Lipschitz continuous diffusion coefficient. A scalar stochastic differential equation with the Heaviside function as its drift coefficient is considered as an example. Upper and lower s...

Numerical Solution of Heun Equation Via Linear Stochastic Differential Equation

In this paper, we intend to solve special kind of ordinary differential equations which is called Heun equations, by converting to a corresponding stochastic differential equation(S.D.E.). So, we construct a stochastic linear equation system from this equation which its solution is based on computing fundamental matrix of this system and then, this S.D.E. is solved by numerically methods. Moreo...

On Weak Approximation of Stochastic Differential Equations with Discontinuous Drift Coefficient1

In this paper, weak approximations of multi-dimensional stochastic differential equations with discontinuous drift coefficients are considered. Here as the approximated process, the Euler-Maruyama approximation of SDEs with approximated drift coefficients is used, and we provide a rate of weak convergence of them. Finally we present a rate of weak convergence of the Euler-Maruyama approximation...
