Numerical analysis of explicit one-step methods for stochastic delay differential equations

Christopher T. H. Baker and Evelyn Buckwar



Abstract: We consider the problem of strong approximations of the solution of stochastic differential equations of Itô form with a constant lag in the argument. We indicate the nature of the equations of interest, and give a convergence proof in full detail for explicit one-step methods. We provide some illustrative numerical examples, using the Euler–Maruyama scheme.
