    Rate of Convergence of Space Time Approximations for stochastic evolution equations

    Get PDF
    Stochastic evolution equations in Banach spaces with unbounded nonlinear drift and diffusion operators driven by a finite dimensional Brownian motion are considered. Under some regularity condition assumed for the solution, the rate of convergence of various numerical approximations are estimated under strong monotonicity and Lipschitz conditions. The abstract setting involves general consistency conditions and is then applied to a class of quasilinear stochastic PDEs of parabolic type.Comment: 33 page

    On finite-difference approximations for normalized Bellman equations

    Get PDF
    A class of stochastic optimal control problems involving optimal stopping is considered. Methods of Krylov are adapted to investigate the numerical solutions of the corresponding normalized Bellman equations and to estimate the rate of convergence of finite difference approximations for the optimal reward functions.Comment: 36 pages, ArXiv version updated to the version accepted in Appl.

    Coercivity condition for higher moment a priori estimates for nonlinear SPDEs and existence of a solution under local monotonicity

    Get PDF
    Higher order moment estimates for solutions to nonlinear SPDEs governed by locally-monotone operators are obtained under appropriate coercivity condition. These are then used to extend known existence and uniqueness results for nonlinear SPDEs under local monotonicity conditions to allow derivatives in the operator acting on the solution under the stochastic integral.Comment: 32 page

    Finite Difference Schemes for Stochastic Partial Differential Equations in Sobolev Spaces

    Get PDF
    We discuss LpL_p-estimates for finite difference schemes approximating parabolic, possibly degenerate, SPDEs, with initial conditions from WpmW^m_p and free terms taking values in Wpm.W^m_p. Consequences of these estimates include an asymptotic expansion of the error, allowing the acceleration of the approximation by Richardson's method.Comment: 22 pages.

    Root to Kellerer

    We revisit Kellerer's Theorem, that is, we show that for a family of real probability distributions (μt)t[0,1](\mu_t)_{t\in [0,1]} which increases in convex order there exists a Markov martingale (St)t[0,1](S_t)_{t\in[0,1]} s.t.\ StμtS_t\sim \mu_t. To establish the result, we observe that the set of martingale measures with given marginals carries a natural compact Polish topology. Based on a particular property of the martingale coupling associated to Root's embedding this allows for a relatively concise proof of Kellerer's theorem. We emphasize that many of our arguments are borrowed from Kellerer \cite{Ke72}, Lowther \cite{Lo07}, and Hirsch-Roynette-Profeta-Yor \cite{HiPr11,HiRo12}.Comment: 8 pages, 1 figur

    On the solvability of degenerate stochastic partial differential equations in Sobolev spaces

    Get PDF
    Systems of parabolic, possibly degenerate parabolic SPDEs are considered. Existence and uniqueness are established in Sobolev spaces. Similar results are obtained for a class of equations generalizing the deterministic first order symmetric hyperbolic systems.Comment: 26 page

    On L_p- theory for stochastic parabolic integro-differential equations

    Full text link
    The existence and uniqueness in fractional Sobolev spaces of the Cauchy problem to a stochastic parabolic integro-differential equation is investigated. A model problem with coefficients independent of space variable is considered. The equation arises, for example, in a filtering problem with a jump signal and jump observation process
