The pathwise convergence of approximation schemes for stochastic differential equations

P. E. Kloeden and A. Neuenkirch



Abstract: The authors of this paper study approximation methods for stochastic differential equations, and point out a simple relation between the order of convergence in the pth mean and the order of convergence in the pathwise sense: Convergence in the pth mean of order α for all p 1 implies pathwise convergence of order α − ε for arbitrary ε > 0. The authors then apply this result to several one-step and multi-step approximation schemes for stochastic differential equations and stochastic delay differential equations. In addition, they give some numerical examples.
