As a by product of our method, we establish the weak order of the Euler-Maruyama approximation for a diffusion processes killed when it leaves an open set. We also apply our method to the study of the weak approximation of reflected stochastic differential equations whose drift is H\\\"older continuous.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-05-14T02:18:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60H35", "65C05", "65C30" ], "keywords": [ "non-smooth functionals", "irregular drift", "euler-maruyama approximation", "reflected stochastic differential equations", "drift coefficient" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150503600N" } } }
