Multi-Step Maruyama Methods for Stochastic Delay Differential Equations

Abstract

In this article the numerical approximation of solutions of Itô stochastic delay differential equations is considered. We construct stochastic linear multi-step Maruyama methods and develop the fundamental numerical analysis concerning their 𝕃 _p -consistency, numerical 𝕃 _p -stability and 𝕃 _p -convergence. For the special case of two-step Maruyama schemes we derive conditions guaranteeing their mean-square consistency.

Numerical Solutions of Stochastic Differential Delay Equations with Jumps

Abstract

In this article, we investigate the strong convergence of the Euler–Maruyama method and stochastic theta method for stochastic differential delay equations with jumps. Under a global Lipschitz condition, we not only prove the strong convergence, but also obtain the rate of convergence. We show strong convergence under a local Lipschitz condition and a linear growth condition. Moreover, it is the first time that we obtain the rate of the strong convergence under a local Lipschitz condition and a linear growth condition, i.e., if the local Lipschitz constants for balls of radius R are supposed to grow not faster than log R.

High-Order Methods for Exotic Options and Greeks Under Regime-Switching Jump-Diffusion Models

This paper aims to develop high-order numerical methods for solving the system partial differential equations (PDEs) and partial integro-differential equations (PIDEs) arising in exotic option pricing under regime-switching models and regime-switching jump-diffusion models, respectively. Using cubic Hermite polynomials, the high-order collocation methods are proposed to solve the system PDEs and PIDEs. This collocation scheme has the second-order convergence rates in time and fourth-order rates in space. The computation of the Greeks for the options is also studied. Numerical examples are carried out to verify the high-order convergence and show the efficiency for computing the Greeks.     

Robust Approximations for Pricing Asian Options and Volatility Swaps Under Stochastic Volatility

Abstract

We show that if the discounted Stock price process is a continuous martingale, then there is a simple relationship linking the variance of the terminal Stock price and the variance of its arithmetic average. We use this to establish a model-independent upper bound for the price of a continuously sampled fixed-strike arithmetic Asian call option, in the presence of non-zero time-dependent interest rates (Theorem 1.2). We also propose a model-independent lognormal moment-matching procedure for approximating the price of an Asian call, and we show how to apply these approximations under the Black–Scholes and Heston models (subsection 1.3). We then apply a similar analysis to a time-dependent Heston stochastic volatility model, and we show how to construct a time-dependent mean reversion and volatility-of-variance function, so as to be consistent with the observed variance swap curve and a pre-specified term structure for the variance of the integrated variance (Theorem 2.1). We characterize the small-time asymptotics of the first and second moments of the integrated variance (Proposition 2.2) and derive an approximation for the price of a volatility swap under the time-dependent Heston model ( Equation (52)), using the Brockhaus–Long approximation (Brockhaus, and Long, 2000 Brockhaus, O. and Long, D. 2000. Volatility Swaps made simple. Risk, 13(1) January: 92–96.  [Google Scholar]). We also outline a bootstrapping procedure for calibrating a piecewise-linear mean reversion level and volatility-of-volatility function (Subsection 2.3.2).

Strong Predictor-Corrector Approximation for Stochastic Delay Differential Equations

This paper presents a strong predictor-corrector method for the numerical solution of stochastic delay differential equations (SDDEs) of Itô-type. The method is proved to be mean-square convergent of order min{$1/2, \hat{p}$} under the Lipschitz condition and the linear growth condition, where $\hat{p}$ is the exponent of Hölder condition of the initial function. Stability criteria for this type of method are derived. It is shown that for certain choices of the flexible parameter $p$ the derived method can have a better stability property than more commonly used numerical methods. That is, for some $p$, the asymptotic MS-stability bound of the method will be much larger than that of the Euler-Maruyama method. Numerical results are reported confirming convergence properties and comparing stability properties of methods with different parameters $p$. Finally, the vectorised simulation is discussed and it is shown that this implementation is much more efficient.     

Finite Difference Approximations for Stochastic Control Systems with Delay

Abstract

This article considers the computation issues of the infinite dimensional HJB equation arising from the finite horizon optimal control problem of a general system of stochastic functional differential equations with a bounded memory treated in [2 Chang , M.H. , Pang , T. , and Pemy , M. accepted. Optimal control of functional stochastic differential equations with a bounded memory. Stochastics 80 ( 1 ): 69 – 96 . [Google Scholar]]. The finite difference scheme, using the result in [1 Barles , G. , and Souganidis , P.E. 1991 . Convergence of approximative schemes for fully nonlinear second order equations . J. Asymptotic Analysis 4 : 557 – 579 . [Google Scholar]], is obtained to approximate the viscosity solution of the infinite dimensional HJB equation. The convergence of the scheme is proved using the Banach fixed point theorem. The computational algorithm also is provided based on the scheme obtained.

Khasminskii-Type Theorems for Stochastic Differential Delay Equations

Abstract

The classical Khasminskii theorem (see [6 Khasminskii , R. Z. 1980 . Stochastic Stability of Differential Equations . Alphen : Sijtjoff and Noordhoff (translation of the Russian edition, Moscow: Nauka 1969) .[Crossref] , [Google Scholar]]) on the nonexplosion solutions of stochastic differential equations (SDEs) is very important since it gives a powerful test for SDEs to have nonexplosion solutions without the linear growth condition. Recently, Mao [13 Mao , X. 2002 . A note on the LaSalle-type theorems for stochastic differential delay equations . J. Math. Anal. Appl. 268 : 125 – 142 . [CSA] [CROSSREF] [Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] established a Khasminskii-type test for stochastic differential delay equations (SDDEs). However, the Mao test can not still be applied to many important SDDEs, e.g., the stochastic delay power logistic model in population dynamics. The main aim of this paper is to establish an even more general Khasminskii-type test for SDDEs that covers a wide class of highly nonlinear SDDEs. As an application, we discuss a stochastic delay Lotka-Volterra model of the food chain to which none of the existing results but our new Khasminskii-type test can be applied.

Strong Convergence of Euler Approximations of Stochastic Differential Equations with Delay Under Local Lipschitz Condition

The strong convergence of Euler approximations of stochastic delay differential equations is proved under general conditions. The assumptions on drift and diffusion coefficients have been relaxed to include polynomial growth and only continuity in the arguments corresponding to delays. Furthermore, the rate of convergence is obtained under one-sided and polynomial Lipschitz conditions. Finally, our findings are demonstrated with the help of numerical simulations.
