An Introduction to Numerical Methods for Stochastic Differential Equations

Eckhard Platen ()

No 6, Research Paper Series from Quantitative Finance Research Centre, University of Technology, Sydney

Abstract: This paper aims to give an overview and summary of numerical methods for the solution of stochastic differential equations. It covers discrete time strong and weak approximation methods that are suitable for different applications. A range of approaches and results is discussed within a unified framework. On the one hand, these methods cn be interpreted as generalising the well developed theory on numerical analysis for deterministic ordinary differential equations. On the other hand they highlight the specific stochastic nature of the equations; in some cases these methods lead to completely new and challenging problems.
