Multilevel Monte Carlo method with applications to stochastic partial differential equations
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work, the approximation of Hilbert-space-valued random variables is combined with the approximation of the expectation by a multilevel Monte Carlo method. The number of samples on the different levels of the multilevel approximation are chosen such that the errors are balanced. The overall work then decreases in the optimal case to O(h−2) if h is the error of the approximation. The multilevel Monte Carlo method is applied to functions of solutions of parabolic and hyperbolic stochastic partial differential equations as needed e.g., for option pricing. Simulations complete the paper.

The multilevel Monte-Carlo Method for stochastic differential equations driven by jump-diffusion processes
In this article we discuss the multilevel Monte Carlo method for stochastic differential equations driven by jump-diffusion processes. We show that for a reasonable jump intensity the multilevel Monte Carlo method for jump-diffusions reduces the computational complexity compared to the standard Monte Carlo method significantly for a given mean square accuracy. Carrying out numerical experiments...
متن کاملMultilevel Monte Carlo methods and applications to elliptic PDEs with random coefficients
We consider the numerical solution of elliptic partial differential equations with random coefficients. Such problems arise, for example, in uncertainty quantification for groundwater flow. We describe a novel variance reduction technique for the standard Monte Carlo method, called the multilevel Monte Carlo method. The main result is that in certain circumstances the asymptotic cost of solving...
متن کاملUnbiased simulation of stochastic differential equations using parametrix expansions
We consider an unbiased simulation method for multidimensional diffusions based on the parametrix method for solving partial differential equations with H’́older continuous coefficients. This Monte Carlo method which is based on an Euler scheme with random time steps, can be considered as an infinite dimensional extension of the Multilevel Monte Carlo method for solutions of stochastic different...
متن کاملStabilized multilevel Monte Carlo method for stiff stochastic differential equations
A multilevel Monte Carlo (MLMC) method for mean square stable stochastic differential equations with multiple scales is proposed. For such problems, that we call stiff, the performance of MLMC methods based on classical explicit methods deteriorates because of the time step restriction to resolve the fastest scales that prevents to exploit all the levels of the MLMC approach. We show that by sw...
متن کاملStabilized Numerical Methods for Stochastic Differential Equations driven by Diffusion and Jump-Diffusion Processes
Stochastic models that account for sudden, unforeseeable events play a crucial role in many different fields such as finance, economics, biology, chemistry, physics and so on. That kind of stochastic problems can be modeled by stochastic differential equations driven by jumpdiffusion processes. In addition, there are situations, where a stochastic model is based on stochastic differential equat...
