Stochastic Evolution Equations in Portfolio Credit Modelling

TL;DR: A structural credit model for a large portfolio of credit risky assets where the correlation is due to a market factor is considered and the existence and uniqueness for the solution taking values in a suitable function space are established.

Stochastic Finite Differences and Multilevel Monte Carlo for a Class of SPDEs in Finance

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a Milstein finite difference scheme for a stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE) describing a large particle system, and showed that the discretization on an unbounded domain is convergent of first order in the timestep and second order in spatial grid size.
