Abstract The paper proposes a new second-order discretization method for forward-backward stochastic differential equations. The method is given by an algorithm with polynomials of Brownian motions where the local approximations using Malliavin calculus play a role. For the implementation, we introduce a new least squares Monte Carlo method for the scheme. A numerical example is illustrated to check the effectiveness.

Abstract The paper proposes a new second-order weak approximation scheme for hypoelliptic diffusions or degenerate systems of stochastic differential equations satisfying a certain Hörmander condition. The scheme is constructed by a Gaussian process and a stochastic polynomial weight through a technique based on Malliavin calculus, and is implemented by a Monte Carlo method and a quasi-Monte Carlo method. A variance analysis for the Monte Carlo method is discussed, and further control variate methods are introduced to reduce the variance. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is illustrated through numerical experiments for some hypoelliptic diffusions.

Abstract This paper proposes a new third-order discretization algorithm for multidimensional Itô stochastic differential equations driven by Brownian motions. The scheme is constructed by the Euler–Maruyama scheme with a stochastic weight given by polynomials of Brownian motions, which is simply implemented by a Monte Carlo method. The method of Watanabe distributions on Wiener space is effectively applied in the computation of the polynomial weight of Brownian motions. Numerical examples are shown to confirm the accuracy of the scheme.

AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the numerical solutions to two-dimensional forward backward stochastic differential equations(FBSDEs). Based on the Fourier cos-cos transform, the approximations of conditional expectations and their errors are studied with conditional characteristic functions. A new numerical scheme is proposed by using the least-squares regression-based Monte Carlo method to solve the initial value of FBSDEs. Finally, a numerical experiment in European option pricing is implemented to test the efficiency and stability of this scheme.
