The proposed fixed-time step method preserves the positivity of solutions and reproduces the almost sure asymptotic stability behavior of the equilibrium with no time-step restrictions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-08-25T18:40:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60H10", "60H35", "65C20", "65C30", "65J15", "65L20" ], "keywords": [ "nonlinear stochastic differential equations", "pathwise stability", "positivity", "sure asymptotic stability behavior", "fixed-time step method preserves" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
