Synopsis

The numerical analysis of stochastic differential equations (SDEs) differs significantly from that of ordinary differential equations. This book provides an easily accessible introduction to SDEs, their applications and the numerical methods to solve such equations.

From the reviews:

"The authors draw upon their own research and experiences in obviously many disciplines... considerable time has obviously been spent writing this in the simplest language possible." --ZAMP

About this title

About the Author

Professor Peter E. Kloeden has wide interests in the applications of mathematical analysis, numerical analysis, stochastic analysis and dynamical systems. He is the coauthor of several influential books on nonautonomous dynamical systems, metric spaces of fuzzy sets, and in particular "Numerical Solutions of Stochastic Differential equations" (with E. Platen) published by Springer in 1992. Professor Kloeden is a Fellow of the Australian Mathematical Society and the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics. He was awarded the W.T. & Idalia Reid Prize from Society of Applied and Industrial Mathematics in 2006. His current interests focus on nonautonomous and random dynamical systems and their applications in the biological sciences. Professor Xiaoying Han's main research interests are in random and nonautonomous dynamical systems and their applications. In addition to mathematical analysis of dynamical systems, she is also interested in modeling and simulation of applied dynamical systems in biology, chemical engineering, ecology, material sciences, etc. She is the coauthor of the books "Applied Nonautonomous and Random Dynamical Systems" (with T. Caraballo) and "Attractors under Discretisation" (with P. E. Kloeden), published in the SpringerBrief series.

From the Back Cover

The numerical analysis of stochastic differential equations differs significantly from that of ordinary differential equations due to peculiarities of stochastic calculus. This book provides an introduction to stochastic calculus and stochastic differential equations, in both theory and applications, emphasising the numerical methods needed to solve such equations. It assumes of the reader an undergraduate background in mathematical methods typical of engineers and physicists, though many chapters begin with a descriptive summary. The book is also accessible to others who only require numerical recipes. The stochastic Taylor expansion provides the basis for the discrete time numerical methods for differential equations. The book presents many new results on high-order methods for strong sample path approximations and for weak functional approximations, including implicit, predictor-corrector, extra-polation and variance-reduction methods. Besides serving as a basic text on such methods, the book offers the reader ready access to a large number of potential research problems in a field that is just beginning to expand rapidly and is widely applicable. To help the reader to develop an intuitive understanding of the underlying mathematics and hand-on numerical skills, exercises and over 100 PC-Exercises are included.
