We apply the results to the approximations of a solution of a stochastic differential equation at time T by the Euler and Milstein schemes. For the Euler scheme we provide also a lower bound.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2007-12-21T07:51:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60H10", "41A25", "26A45", "65C20", "65C30" ], "keywords": [ "convergence rates", "functionals", "stochastic differential equation", "approximation error", "function classes" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 30, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007arXiv0712.3635A" } } }
