Summary on Grant Application Form
The use of simple explicit numerical methods, such as the Euler-Maruyama scheme, is highly desirable for many stochastic differential equations (SDEs) arising in practice. However such schemes are transient when applied to a variety of ergodic SDEs, no matter how small a time step is used. For ordinary differential equations (ODEs), related problems can be ameliorated to a large extent by the use of adaptive time-step algorithms. Recent work by the PI and Mattingly has shown that simple extensions of this idea to SDEs result in provably ergodic numerical methods. The aims of this work are: (i) to extend this mathematics to other, more efficient, schemes; (ii) to develop methods to study finite time pathwise convergence for these adaptive schemes.SUMMARY KEY WORDS: Stochastic Differential Equations, Adaptive Time-Stepping, Invariant measures, Numerical Stability, Numerical Convergence.
