AbstractIn this paper, we propose a new numerical method for 1-D backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs for short) without using conditional expectations. The approximations of the solutions are obtained as solutions of a backward linear system generated by the terminal conditions. Our idea is inspired from the extended Kalman filter to non-linear system models by using a linear approximation around deterministic nominal reference trajectories.

In this paper an initial value problem for a non-linear system of two singularly perturbed first order differential equations is considered on the interval (0,1].The components of the solution of this system exhibit initial layers at 0. A numerical method composed of a classical finite difference scheme on a piecewise uniform Shishkin mesh is suggested. This method is proved to be almost first order convergent in the maximum norm uniformly in the perturbation parameters.

AbstractIn this paper, a new numerical method for solving the decoupled forward-backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDEs) is proposed based on some specially derived reference equations. We rigorously analyze errors of the proposed method under general situations. Then we present error estimates for each of the specific cases when some classical numerical schemes for solving the forward SDE are taken in the method; in particular, we prove that the proposed method is second-order accurate if used together with the order-2.0 weak Taylor scheme for the SDE. Some examples are also given to numerically demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed method and verify the theoretical results.

AbstractIn this work, in order to obtain higher-order schemes for solving forward backward stochastic differential equations, we propose a new multi-step scheme by adopting the high-order multi-step method in Zhao et al. (SIAM J. Sci. Comput., 36(4): A1731-A1751, 2014) with the combination technique. Two reference ordinary differential equations containing the conditional expectations and their derivatives are derived from the backward component. These derivatives are approximated by using the finite difference methods with multi-step combinations. The resulting scheme is a semi-discretization in the temporal direction involving conditional expectations, which are solved by using the Gaussian quadrature rules and polynomial interpolations on the spatial grids. Our new proposed multi-step scheme allows for higher convergence rate up to ninth order, and are more efficient. Finally, we provide a numerical illustration of the convergence of the proposed method.
