Local Lipschitz continuity in the initial value and strong completeness for nonlinear stochastic differential equations

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided sufficient conditions on the coefficien t functions of the SDE and on p ∈ (0, ∞) that ensure local Lipschitz continuity in the strong L p -sense with respect to the initial value.
Abstract: Recently, Hairer et. al [14] showed that there exist SDEs with infinitely often differentiable and globally bounded coefficient functions whose solutions fail to be locally Lipschitz continuous in the strong L p -sense with respect to the initial value for every p ∈ [1,∞]. In this article we provide sufficient conditions on the coefficien t functions of the SDE and on p ∈ (0,∞] which ensure local Lipschitz continuity in the strong L p -sense with respect to the initial value and we establish explicit estimates for the local Lipschitz continuity constants. In particular, we prove local Lipschitz continuity in the initial value for several nonlinear SDEs from the literature such as the stochastic van der Pol oscillator, Brownian dynamics, the Cox-Ingersoll-Ross processes and the Cahn-Hilliard-Cook equation. As an application of our estimates, we obtain strong completeness for several nonlinear SDEs.

TL;DR: It is proved, for the first time, that ANNs do indeed overcome the curse of dimensionality in the numerical approximation of Black-Scholes PDEs.
Abstract: Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have very successfully been used in numerical simulations for a series of computational problems ranging from image classification/image recognition, speech recognition, time series analysis, game intelligence, and computational advertising to numerical approximations of partial differential equations (PDEs). Such numerical simulations suggest that ANNs have the capacity to very efficiently approximate high-dimensional functions and, especially, such numerical simulations indicate that ANNs seem to admit the fundamental power to overcome the curse of dimensionality when approximating the high-dimensional functions appearing in the above named computational problems. There are also a series of rigorous mathematical approximation results for ANNs in the scientific literature. Some of these mathematical results prove convergence without convergence rates and some of these mathematical results even rigorously establish convergence rates but there are only a few special cases where mathematical results can rigorously explain the empirical success of ANNs when approximating high-dimensional functions. The key contribution of this article is to disclose that ANNs can efficiently approximate high-dimensional functions in the case of numerical approximations of Black-Scholes PDEs. More precisely, this work reveals that the number of required parameters of an ANN to approximate the solution of the Black-Scholes PDE grows at most polynomially in both the reciprocal of the prescribed approximation accuracy $\varepsilon > 0$ and the PDE dimension $d \in \mathbb{N}$ and we thereby prove, for the first time, that ANNs do indeed overcome the curse of dimensionality in the numerical approximation of Black-Scholes PDEs.

TL;DR: In this article, a perturbation theory for stochastic differential equations (SDEs) was developed, by which they mean both stochastastic ordinary differential equations and stochastically partial differential equations.
Abstract: We develope a perturbation theory for stochastic differential equations (SDEs) by which we mean both stochastic ordinary differential equations (SODEs) and stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs). In particular, we estimate the $ L^p $-distance between the solution process of an SDE and an arbitrary Ito process, which we view as a perturbation of the solution process of the SDE, by the $ L^q $-distances of the differences of the local characteristics for suitable $ p, q > 0 $. As application of our perturbation theory, we establish strong convergence rates for numerical approximations of a class of SODEs with non-globally monotone coefficients. As another application of our perturbation theory, we prove strong convergence rates for spectral Galerkin approximations of solutions of semilinear SPDEs with non-globally monotone nonlinearities including Cahn-Hilliard-Cook type equations and stochastic Burgers equations. Further applications of the perturbation theory include the regularity of solutions of SDEs with respect to the initial values and small-noise analysis for ordinary and partial differential equations.

TL;DR: In this article, a numerical approximation of the Kolmogorov PDE on an entire region $[a,b]^d$ without suffering from the curse of dimensionality is presented.
Abstract: Stochastic differential equations (SDEs) and the Kolmogorov partial differential equations (PDEs) associated to them have been widely used in models from engineering, finance, and the natural sciences. In particular, SDEs and Kolmogorov PDEs, respectively, are highly employed in models for the approximative pricing of financial derivatives. Kolmogorov PDEs and SDEs, respectively, can typically not be solved explicitly and it has been and still is an active topic of research to design and analyze numerical methods which are able to approximately solve Kolmogorov PDEs and SDEs, respectively. Nearly all approximation methods for Kolmogorov PDEs in the literature suffer under the curse of dimensionality or only provide approximations of the solution of the PDE at a single fixed space-time point. In this paper we derive and propose a numerical approximation method which aims to overcome both of the above mentioned drawbacks and intends to deliver a numerical approximation of the Kolmogorov PDE on an entire region $[a,b]^d$ without suffering from the curse of dimensionality. Numerical results on examples including the heat equation, the Black-Scholes model, the stochastic Lorenz equation, and the Heston model suggest that the proposed approximation algorithm is quite effective in high dimensions in terms of both accuracy and speed.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that nonperiodic solutions are ordinarily unstable with respect to small modifications, so that slightly differing initial states can evolve into considerably different states, and systems with bounded solutions are shown to possess bounded numerical solutions.
Abstract: Finite systems of deterministic ordinary nonlinear differential equations may be designed to represent forced dissipative hydrodynamic flow. Solutions of these equations can be identified with trajectories in phase space For those systems with bounded solutions, it is found that nonperiodic solutions are ordinarily unstable with respect to small modifications, so that slightly differing initial states can evolve into consider­ably different states. Systems with bounded solutions are shown to possess bounded numerical solutions.

TL;DR: Stein's seminal work Real Analysis as mentioned in this paper is considered the most influential mathematics text in the last thirty-five years and has been widely used as a reference for many applications in the field of analysis.
Abstract: Singular integrals are among the most interesting and important objects of study in analysis, one of the three main branches of mathematics. They deal with real and complex numbers and their functions. In this book, Princeton professor Elias Stein, a leading mathematical innovator as well as a gifted expositor, produced what has been called the most influential mathematics text in the last thirty-five years. One reason for its success as a text is its almost legendary presentation: Stein takes arcane material, previously understood only by specialists, and makes it accessible even to beginning graduate students. Readers have reflected that when you read this book, not only do you see that the greats of the past have done exciting work, but you also feel inspired that you can master the subject and contribute to it yourself. Singular integrals were known to only a few specialists when Stein's book was first published. Over time, however, the book has inspired a whole generation of researchers to apply its methods to a broad range of problems in many disciplines, including engineering, biology, and finance. Stein has received numerous awards for his research, including the Wolf Prize of Israel, the Steele Prize, and the National Medal of Science. He has published eight books with Princeton, including Real Analysis in 2005.
