Weak convergence of tamed exponential integrators for stochastic differential equations
摘要
We prove weak convergence of order one for a class of exponential based integrators for SDEs with non-globally Lipschitz drift. Our analysis covers tamed versions of Geometric Brownian Motion (GBM) based methods as well as the standard exponential schemes. The numerical performance of both the GBM and exponential tamed methods through four different multi-level Monte Carlo techniques are compared. We observe that for linear noise the standard exponential tamed method requires severe restrictions on the step size unlike the GBM tamed method.
