The Skorohod problem and weak approximation of stochastic differential equations in time-dependent domainsÖnskog, Thomas January 2009 (has links)
This thesis consists of a summary and four scientific articles. All four articles consider various aspects of stochastic differential equations and the purpose of the summary is to provide an introduction to this subject and to supply the notions required in order to fully understand the articles. In the first article we conduct a thorough study of the multi-dimensional Skorohod problem in time-dependent domains. In particular we prove the existence of cádlág solutions to the Skorohod problem with oblique reflection in time-independent domains with corners. We use this existence result to construct weak solutions to stochastic differential equations with oblique reflection in time-dependent domains. In the process of obtaining these results we also establish convergence results for sequences of solutions to the Skorohod problem and a number of estimates for solutions, with bounded jumps, to the Skorohod problem. The second article considers the problem of determining the sensitivities of a solution to a second order parabolic partial differential equation with respect to perturbations in the parameters of the equation. We derive an approximate representation of the sensitivities and an estimate of the discretization error arising in the sensitivity approximation. We apply these theoretical results to the problem of determining the sensitivities of the price of European swaptions in a LIBOR market model with respect to perturbations in the volatility structure (the so-called ‘Greeks’). The third article treats stopped diffusions in time-dependent graph domains with low regularity. We compare, numerically, the performance of one adaptive and three non-adaptive numerical methods with respect to order of convergence, efficiency and stability. In particular we investigate if the performance of the algorithms can be improved by a transformation which increases the regularity of the domain but, at the same time, reduces the regularity of the parameters of the diffusion. In the fourth article we use the existence results obtained in Article I to construct a projected Euler scheme for weak approximation of stochastic differential equations with oblique reflection in time-dependent domains. We prove theoretically that the order of convergence of the proposed algorithm is 1/2 and conduct numerical simulations which support this claim.

Some Contributions on Probabilistic Interpretation For Nonlinear Stochastic PDEs / Quelques contributions dans la représentation probabiliste des solutions d'EDPs non linéairesSabbagh, Wissal 08 December 2014 (has links)
L'objectif de cette thèse est l'étude de la représentation probabiliste des différentes classes d'EDPSs non-linéaires(semi-linéaires, complètement non-linéaires, réfléchies dans un domaine) en utilisant les équations différentielles doublement stochastiques rétrogrades (EDDSRs). Cette thèse contient quatre parties différentes. Nous traitons dans la première partie les EDDSRs du second ordre (2EDDSRs). Nous montrons l'existence et l'unicité des solutions des EDDSRs en utilisant des techniques de contrôle stochastique quasi- sure. La motivation principale de cette étude est la représentation probabiliste des EDPSs complètement non-linéaires. Dans la deuxième partie, nous étudions les solutions faibles de type Sobolev du problème d'obstacle pour les équations à dérivées partielles inteégro-différentielles (EDPIDs). Plus précisément, nous montrons la formule de Feynman-Kac pour l'EDPIDs par l'intermédiaire des équations différentielles stochastiques rétrogrades réfléchies avec sauts (EDSRRs). Plus précisément, nous établissons l'existence et l'unicité de la solution du problème d'obstacle, qui est considérée comme un couple constitué de la solution et de la mesure de réflexion. L'approche utilisée est basée sur les techniques de flots stochastiques développées dans Bally et Matoussi (2001) mais les preuves sont beaucoup plus techniques. Dans la troisième partie, nous traitons l'existence et l'unicité pour les EDDSRRs dans un domaine convexe D sans aucune condition de régularité sur la frontière. De plus, en utilisant l'approche basée sur les techniques du flot stochastiques nous démontrons l'interprétation probabiliste de la solution faible de type Sobolev d'une classe d'EDPSs réfléchies dans un domaine convexe via les EDDSRRs. Enfin, nous nous intéressons à la résolution numérique des EDDSRs à temps terminal aléatoire. La motivation principale est de donner une représentation probabiliste des solutions de Sobolev d'EDPSs semi-linéaires avec condition de Dirichlet nul au bord. Dans cette partie, nous étudions l'approximation forte de cette classe d'EDDSRs quand le temps terminal aléatoire est le premier temps de sortie d'une EDS d'un domaine cylindrique. Ainsi, nous donnons les bornes pour l'erreur d'approximation en temps discret. Cette partie se conclut par des tests numériques qui démontrent que cette approche est effective. / The objective of this thesis is to study the probabilistic representation (Feynman-Kac for- mula) of different classes ofStochastic Nonlinear PDEs (semilinear, fully nonlinear, reflected in a domain) by means of backward doubly stochastic differential equations (BDSDEs). This thesis contains four different parts. We deal in the first part with the second order BDS- DEs (2BDSDEs). We show the existence and uniqueness of solutions of 2BDSDEs using quasi sure stochastic control technics. The main motivation of this study is the probabilistic representation for solution of fully nonlinear SPDEs. First, under regularity assumptions on the coefficients, we give a Feynman-Kac formula for classical solution of fully nonlinear SPDEs and we generalize the work of Soner, Touzi and Zhang (2010-2012) for deterministic fully nonlinear PDE. Then, under weaker assumptions on the coefficients, we prove the probabilistic representation for stochastic viscosity solution of fully nonlinear SPDEs. In the second part, we study the Sobolev solution of obstacle problem for partial integro-differentialequations (PIDEs). Specifically, we show the Feynman-Kac formula for PIDEs via reflected backward stochastic differentialequations with jumps (BSDEs). Specifically, we establish the existence and uniqueness of the solution of the obstacle problem, which is regarded as a pair consisting of the solution and the measure of reflection. The approach is based on stochastic flow technics developed in Bally and Matoussi (2001) but the proofs are more technical. In the third part, we discuss the existence and uniqueness for RBDSDEs in a convex domain D without any regularity condition on the boundary. In addition, using the approach based on the technics of stochastic flow we provide the probabilistic interpretation of Sobolev solution of a class of reflected SPDEs in a convex domain via RBDSDEs. Finally, we are interested in the numerical solution of BDSDEs with random terminal time. The main motivation is to give a probabilistic representation of Sobolev solution of semilinear SPDEs with Dirichlet null condition. In this part, we study the strong approximation of this class of BDSDEs when the random terminal time is the first exit time of an SDE from a cylindrical domain. Thus, we give bounds for the discrete-time approximation error.. We conclude this part with numerical tests showing that this approach is effective.
