How statement and proof provenance work

The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.

  • Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
  • AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
  • AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.

These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.

✓ 9 results · all verified · 6 also independently AI-judged
Every result on this page is machine-checked by a proof checker and read in full and owner-audited; the judge is an additional, independent cross-model AI review of the proofs. The 3 not AI-judged were verified by owner audit (typically over a confirmed judge false positive), not failures.

Stable sde schemes for superlinear drift

1 · Prerequisites

2 · Summary

This page develops three specific methods for SDEs outside the globally Lipschitz drift setting. The tamed Euler update replaces b by bh=b/(1+h∣b∣); under a one-sided Lipschitz condition, a polynomial bound on Db, globally Lipschitz diffusion, and all finite initial moments, its grid values have uniform finite-horizon moments and its continuous interpolation has strong path-supremum order one-half. The proof keeps the rare-event moment estimate separate from the error recurrence.

The drift-implicit Euler–Maruyama method applies the backward resolvent to Yn+σ(Yn)ΔWn. For globally dissipative drift with a unique resolvent and Lipschitz diffusion, the page proves finite-time mean-square stability and a grid-point strong order-one-half bound under the stated polynomial derivative and moment assumptions. A failed finite-precision solve is reported as a failure status and supplies no next scheme value.

For CIR, the page transforms Z=X and solves a quadratic implicit step with a unique strictly positive root under the Feller condition 2κθ≥σ2. The exact solution is shown to remain positive and nonexplosive; localization then proves convergence in probability on finite horizons. No Lp error rate is asserted without further inverse moment control.

Locally Lipschitz Itô SDE on an open state domain

Definition

Assume AC. Fix a finite horizon T>0, finite dimensions d,m≥1, and an open set U⊆Rd. Use a complete usual filtered probability space and an adapted standard m-dimensional Brownian motion whose increments after time s are independent of Fs, as in d-dimensional Brownian motion and Continuous Brownian Ito processes. Let b:[0,T]×U→Rd and σ:[0,T]×U→Rd×m be Borel maps. Require that they are bounded on every compact subset of [0,T]×U and locally Lipschitz in the state uniformly in time: for every compact K⊂U there is LK<∞ such that, for every t∈[0,T] and x,y∈K, ∣b(t,x)−b(t,y)∣+∥σ(t,x)−σ(t,y)∥F≤LK∣x−y∣. Let ξ be F0-measurable, take values in U almost surely, be independent of the future Brownian increments, and satisfy E∣ξ∣2<∞.

For n≥1, set Kn={x∈U:∣x∣≤n, dist⁡(x,Uc)≥n−1}. When U=Rd, interpret dist⁡(x,Uc)=+∞. If Uc≠∅, the distance function is 1-Lipschitz, so each Kn is closed; it is bounded, hence compact by Heine--Borel. For U=Rd, each Kn is a closed ball and is compact as well. As n increases, the radius bound increases and the distance threshold decreases, so the sets are nested. Every x∈U belongs to int⁡Kn for all sufficiently large n: choose n>∣x∣ and, when Uc≠∅, n−1<dist⁡(x,Uc). Thus their interiors exhaust U. ∣d(x,A)−d(y,A)∣≤d(x,y), so the distance to a fixed nonempty set is 1-Lipschitz Heine-Borel in Rn: with the Euclidean metric a subset of Rn is compact if and only if it is closed and bounded, and the proof by bisection uses no choice principle; the same holds on the real line

A local strong solution up to exit is the compatible family of stopped adapted continuous processes X(n) and stopping times τn Continuous-time stopping times and stopped sigma-algebras such that τn=inf⁡{t∈[0,T]:Xt(n)∉int⁡Kn}∧T,Xt∧τn(n)=ξ+∫0t∧τnb(s,Xs(n)) ds+∫0t∧τnσ(s,Xs(n)) dWs, with the equation holding indistinguishably and with X(n) constant after τn. Empty early Kn simply give τn=0. Compatibility means that for m≥n, X(m) stopped at τn equals X(n) up to indistinguishability. The maximal lifetime is ζ=lim⁡nτn; for t<ζ, the common value of Xt(n) for sufficiently large n defines the maximal local solution Xt.

This definition records a local integral equation; it does not assert that a solution exists or that ζ=T. Those are separate theorem obligations. The local coefficient conditions allow superlinear growth; global Lipschitz hypotheses will be imposed only on the coefficient truncations used in the existence proof.

1.1F2F3F4F6given

For each coordinate i, set Mti=∑j=1m∫0tGsij dWsj, Qi(t)=∫0t∑j∣Gsij∣2ds, and Mi∗(t)=sup⁡u≤t∣Mui∣. Stop at ρR=inf⁡{t:Qi(t)∨Mi∗(t)≥R}∧T, for R>0. These processes are continuous and adapted, and {ρR≤t}={Qi(t)∨Mi∗(t)≥R} for t<T, so ρR is a stopping time Continuous-time stopping times and stopped sigma-algebras. The stopped process is a continuous square-integrable martingale by [F3]–[F4], its quadratic energy is bounded by R, and its path supremum is bounded by R. Apply [F2] to ∣Mi∣ sampled on nested dyadic grids including T. By [F6], the grid maxima increase to the path supremum and monotone convergence passes the discrete bounds to Si(R):=Esup⁡t≤T∣Mt∧ρRi∣p≤qpE∣MT∧ρRi∣p, where q=p/(p−1).

2.1F1F5step 1.1algebra

Apply [F1] to the stopped coordinate process. The stochastic term has mean zero because its integrand is bounded by the stopping level and has finite energy. Put Ui(R)=sup⁡t≤T∣Mt∧ρRi∣. The Hessian term is bounded by p(p−1)2Ui(R)p−2Qi(R), where Qi(R)=∫0T∧ρR∑j∣Gsij∣2ds. Therefore Si(R)≤qpp(p−1)2 E[Ui(R)p−2Qi(R)]. For p=2, interpret Ui(R)0=1, giving Si(R)≤C2EQi(R). For p>2, [F5] gives Si(R)≤CpSi(R)(p−2)/p(EQi(R)p/2)2/p.

3.1step 2.1givenalgebra

For p=2, step 2.1 gives the coordinate estimate. For p>2, if Si(R)=0 it is immediate; otherwise divide the bound in step 2.1 by Si(R)(p−2)/p and raise to the power p/2. In both cases Si(R)≤CpEQi(R)p/2≤CpE(∫0T∥Gs∥F2ds)p/2. Since ∣Mt∣≤dmax⁡i∣Mti∣, summing the coordinate estimates gives the required bound for the stopped vector integral with constant Cp,d.

4.1A1F3F7step 3.1given∎

As R→∞, finite pathwise energy and continuity make ρR=T eventually almost surely. By [F7], Fatou's lemma passes the uniform bound of step 3.1 to Esup⁡t≤T∣Mt∣p. The constant depends only on p,d. AC is exactly the inherited assumption [A1].

Positive Lamperti drift-implicit scheme for the CIR process

Definition

Assume AC and the Brownian conventions of Locally Lipschitz Itô SDE on an open state domain on [0,T] with U=(0,∞). The input consists of κ,θ,σ>0 satisfying the Feller condition 2κθ≥σ2, a step h>0, a current transformed value zn≥0, and a finite Brownian increment ΔWn. Set a=4κθ−σ28,A=1+κh2,c=zn+σ2ΔWn. For valid parameters, a>0 and A>0. Compute zn+1=c+c2+4Aah2A,xn+1=zn+12. This is the positive-root solution of Azn+12−czn+1−ah=0, which is the drift-implicit Euler equation for the Lamperti variable Z=X in the CIR model dXt=κ(θ−Xt)dt+σXt dWt.

Return invalid-input for parameters outside the stated domain or a non-finite input. Otherwise return success with (zn+1,xn+1). In exact real arithmetic the discriminant is strictly positive and the displayed root is finite and positive for every zn≥0 and ΔWn∈R; the algorithm has no rejected root branch. A floating-point implementation that cannot verify a finite positive root returns solve-failure and does not advance the state. This is a specific implicit square-root update, not the ordinary Euler–Maruyama update for X.

Tamed Euler scheme for a superlinear drift

Definition

Assume AC and the Brownian conventions of Locally Lipschitz Itô SDE on an open state domain on [0,T] with U=Rd. The input is an autonomous drift b:Rd→Rd, diffusion σ:Rd→Rd×m, initial state ξ, and integer N≥1 with h=T/N≤1. Define tn=nh and bh(x)=b(x)1+h∣b(x)∣. Return the grid values, step process, continuous interpolation, and status as follows.

  1. Set Y0=ξ.
  2. For n=0,…,N−1, set ΔWn=Wtn+1−Wtn and Yn+1=Yn+hbh(Yn)+σ(Yn)ΔWn.
  3. Set Yˉt=Yn on [tn,tn+1), with YˉT=YN, and set Yt=Yn+(t−tn)bh(Yn)+σ(Yn)(Wt−Wtn),t∈[tn,tn+1]. The shared endpoint formulas agree with the grid recursion.

If the dimensions, horizon, step count, or finite-valued coefficient inputs are invalid, return invalid-input without a trajectory. Otherwise return success and the sequence. In exact real arithmetic each update is a finite vector expression, and ∣hbh(x)∣≤1, so the finite recursion has no implicit solve or branch failure. The algorithm by itself asserts no moment, stability, or convergence property.

Local strong existence and uniqueness up to exit for locally Lipschitz SDEs

Statement

Assume the data of Locally Lipschitz Itô SDE on an open state domain on [0,T], with E∣ξ∣2<∞. Then a local strong solution up to the exit time from U exists on the given filtered space. It is unique up to indistinguishability before its maximal lifetime ζ=lim⁡nτn. Equivalently, its stopped solutions on the compact exhaustion Kn form a compatible family as defined in that item. This theorem does not assert that ζ=T; a separate non-explosion argument is required.

1.1F1F3construct

For each n, choose scalar piecewise-linear cutoffs ηn(r) and θn(r) with ηn=1 on [0,n], ηn=0 on [n+1,∞), θn=0 on [0,(2n)−1], and θn=1 on [n−1,∞). Put χn(x)=ηn(∣x∣)θn(dist⁡(x,Uc)) on U, extend it by zero outside U, and use θn≡1 when U=Rd. The norm and distance functions are Lipschitz, so χn is Lipschitz, equals one on Kn, and has compact support inside U.

2.1F1step 1.1given

Define bn=χnb and σn=χnσ on U, extended by zero outside U. On a compact neighborhood of their support the original coefficients are bounded and locally Lipschitz; a finite subcover gives a uniform local Lipschitz constant there. Their products with χn are therefore locally Lipschitz, including at the support boundary where the cutoff vanishes. A compactly supported locally Lipschitz map on Rd is globally Lipschitz: use a finite cover and a Lebesgue number for nearby pairs, and boundedness divided by that Lebesgue number for pairs farther apart. Thus bn,σn are globally Lipschitz and have linear growth.

3.1F1F2step 2.1

By [F2], each truncated equation with coefficients bn,σn and initial value ξ has a unique global strong solution Zn. If Kn=∅, take its exit time to be zero; otherwise stop at the first exit τn from int⁡Kn. For k≥n, stop Zn,Zk at the first time either leaves int⁡Kn. Before that stop both states lie in Kn, where both truncations equal b,σ.

4.1F1F2F4F5F6F7step 3.1algebra

Let D=Zn−Zk up to the common stop τ, and put v(t)=Esup⁡s≤t∣Ds∧τ∣2, finite by [F2]. Write a finite-energy matrix integral coordinatewise as Msi=∑j=1m∫0sGuij dWuj. Since ∣∑jaj∣2≤m∑j∣aj∣2 by [F6], summing the scalar bounds [F4] gives Esup⁡s≤t∣Ms∣2≤4mE∫0t∥Gu∥F2du. Apply this to Gu=1{u≤τ}(σ(u,Zun)−σ(u,Zuk)); boundedness on Kn gives finite energy. The common coefficient Lipschitz constant Ln on Kn, [F5], and D0=0 now give v(t)≤(2TLn2+8mLn2)∫0tv(s) ds. With Cn=2TLn2+8mLn2, the continuous majorant V(t)=Cn∫0tv(s)ds satisfies v≤V and V(t)≤Cn∫0tV(s)ds, so [F7] gives V=v=0. Hence the truncated solutions agree until either exits Kn; continuity makes those exit times equal, and Zk stopped at τn equals Zn stopped there.

5.1A1F1step 4.1∎

The stopped family X(n):=Z⋅∧τnn is compatible by step 4.1 and satisfies the stopped integral equation because each cutoff equals the original coefficients on Kn. The exit times increase, since the compact sets are nested and the paths agree up to each earlier exit. Since ⋃nint⁡Kn=U, its lifetime ζ=lim⁡nτn and common values before ζ give a local strong solution in the sense of [F1]. For any two local solutions, their Kn-stopped path suprema are bounded by ∣ξ∣+n and hence are square-integrable; the same difference estimate therefore proves equality up to the minimum of their lifetimes. AC is exactly [A1].

CIR Lamperti equation and unique positive implicit root

Statement

Let κ,θ,σ>0 satisfy the Feller condition 2κθ≥σ2, and put a=4κθ−σ28. For a positive local strong solution of the CIR SDE dXt=κ(θ−Xt)dt+σXt dWt on U=(0,∞), the Lamperti variable Zt=Xt satisfies dZt=(aZt−κ2Zt)dt+σ2dWt up to every compact exit time. Moreover, for every h>0, z≥0, and ΔW∈R, the drift-implicit step z+=z+h(az+−κ2z+)+σ2ΔW has exactly one positive root. It is the value defined by Positive Lamperti drift-implicit scheme for the CIR process. The boundary input z=0 is included for the numerical root statement; the CIR solution theorem below uses X0>0.

Such a cutoff is given by χ(x)=η((x−ε/2)/(ε/2))η((2R−x)/R), where ρ(u)=e−1/u for u>0, ρ(u)=0 for u≤0, and η(u)=ρ(u)/(ρ(u)+ρ(1−u)).

For each n let Dn={1/n<X0<n}∈F0, and let τn be the first exit from [1/n,n]. The events Dn increase to a probability-one event because X0>0 is finite. Use [F5] to extend f(x)=x from that interval to a global C2 function equal to zero off its positive support, then apply [F1] to the stopped process Xτn. On Dn its state stays in [1/n,n], so the extended function and its derivatives agree with f, f′(x)=1/(2x) and f′′(x)=−1/(4x3/2) by [F4]. The resulting drift is κ(θ−Xt)2Xt−σ2Xt8Xt3/2=4κθ−σ28Zt−κ2Zt=aZt−κ2Zt and the diffusion is σ/2.

On ∣Yk∣≥1, write αk=vk⋅ΔWk with vk=σ(Yk)TYk/∣Yk∣2; global Lipschitzness of σ gives ∣vk∣≤∥σ(Yk)∥F/∣Yk∣≤C. Conditionally on Ftk its variance is h∣vk∣2≤C2h; on ∣Yk∣<1, αk=0. Brownian independence and the Gaussian density therefore give E[αk∣Ftk]=0 and, by completing the square in each coordinate, E[erαk∣Ftk]≤eC2r2h/2(r∈R). Conditional Jensen shows that eQSj and e−QSj are nonnegative submartingales for each Q>0. Iterating the preceding bound with r=2Q gives terminal second moments at most e2C2Q2T for both processes.

Set an=(E∣Yn∣p)1/p for p≥2. Decompose the recursion as Yn=ξ+∑k<nhbh(Yk)+σ(0)Wtn+∑k<n(σ(Yk)−σ(0))ΔWk. The drift sum has norm at most N by [F1]. The last sum is a continuous Brownian Itô integral with a predictable step integrand.

Global existence and finite-horizon moments for one-sided Lipschitz SDEs

Statement

Assume AC. Let d,m≥1 be finite, T>0, and let W and ξ satisfy the filtered Brownian hypotheses in Locally Lipschitz Itô SDE on an open state domain with U=Rd. Consider the autonomous SDE dXt=b(Xt) dt+σ(Xt) dWt,X0=ξ, where b∈C1(Rd;Rd), σ:Rd→Rd×m is globally Lipschitz, and for constants L,C<∞ and an integer q≥1, ⟨x−y,b(x)−b(y)⟩≤L∣x−y∣2,∥Db(x)∥≤C(1+∣x∣q). Suppose E∣ξ∣p<∞ for every finite p≥1. Then the maximal local strong solution is global on [0,T], is unique up to indistinguishability, and for every finite p≥1, Esup⁡0≤t≤T∣Xt∣p<∞. The bound may depend on p,T, the coefficient constants, and the initial moments. No global Lipschitz condition on the drift is assumed.

For p≥2 define Vp(x)=(1+∣x∣2)p/2. Direct differentiation gives ∇Vp=p(1+∣x∣2)p/2−1x and D2Vp=p(1+∣x∣2)p/2−1I+p(p−2)(1+∣x∣2)p/2−2xxT. Thus ∥D2Vp(x)∥≤Cp(1+∣x∣2)p/2−1. The one-sided Lipschitz condition with y=0 and [F5] imply ⟨x,b(x)⟩≤L∣x∣2+∣b(0)∣∣x∣≤C0(1+∣x∣2). Global Lipschitz continuity gives ∥σ(x)∥F2≤C1(1+∣x∣2).

For integer R≥1, stop the maximal solution at its first exit τR from {∣x∣<R}, or at its lifetime if earlier; for U=Rd these are the compact-exhaustion stops. If ∣ξ∣≥R, then τR=0 and the stopped integrands vanish. Otherwise all active states lie in B‾R, so the coefficients, derivatives of Vp, and Itô integrand are bounded and the stochastic integral in [F2] has mean zero by the Itô isometry. The integrable bound in [F9] makes uR(t)=EVp(Xt∧τR) continuous, as required by [F8]. Taking expectations in Itô's formula, using step 1.1 and Tonelli [F10], gives uR(t)≤EVp(ξ)+Cp∫0tuR(s) ds.

Set ER={sup⁡t≤T∣Xt∧τR∣≥R}. On ER, either ∣ξ∣≥R and τR=0, or the continuous path reaches radius R and is stopped there; hence ∣XT∧τR∣≥R. Step 2.1 therefore gives Rp P(ER)≤EVp(XT∧τR)≤EVp(ξ)eCpT. If a maximal path fails to extend as a solution through T, it must reach every radius by T: otherwise it agrees with a globally defined truncation whose cutoff is one on a larger ball containing that path, giving an extension by local uniqueness. Thus the failure event is contained in every ER and has probability zero as R→∞. The solution extends globally through T, and Fatou's lemma [F7] applied at each time to the stopped bounds gives sup⁡t≤TEVp(Xt)<∞.

Drift-implicit Euler–Maruyama with explicit solve-failure status

Definition

Assume AC and the Brownian conventions of Locally Lipschitz Itô SDE on an open state domain on [0,T] with U=Rd. An admissible mathematical input has finite dimensions d,m≥1, T>0, N≥1 with h=T/N≤1, an autonomous continuous drift b:Rd→Rd, a finite-valued Borel diffusion σ:Rd→Rd×m, and a finite F0-measurable initial state ξ. It also has a constant μ≥0 such that ⟨x−y,b(x)−b(y)⟩≤−μ∣x−y∣2(x,y∈Rd). This global condition is a precondition on the mathematical input, not a runtime test over all x,y. For h>0, set Hh(x)=x−hb(x) and let Rh=Hh−1, which is defined uniquely on all of Rd by Backward Euler has a globally defined nonexpansive resolvent (contractive when strongly dissipative).

First check that d,m are positive integers, T is finite and positive, N is a positive integer, 0<h=T/N≤1, and ξ is finite. If any of these checks fails, return invalid-input. An exact execution then sets Y0=ξ and, for n=0,…,N−1, computes un=Yn+σ(Yn)(Wtn+1−Wtn),Yn+1=Rh(un). It returns the grid values, the left-endpoint step process Yˉt=Yn(tn≤t<tn+1),YˉT=YN, and the continuous interpolation Yt=Yn+(t−tn)b(Yn+1)+σ(Yn)(Wt−Wtn),tn≤t≤tn+1. This is a pathwise continuous extension of the grid values. At each shared endpoint the interpolation agrees with the grid update.

A finite implementation may instead receive a root-solver interface S and an integer work cap M≥0. Each call S(Hh,un,M) must terminate after at most M declared solver iterations and return either certified-root(z, proof) or no-certificate(last-iterate, residual) (with last-iterate = null if the cap permits no iterate). The supplied exact verifier must terminate and accepts a certificate precisely when it proves that z∈Rd is finite and Hh(z)=un. At the first call returning no-certificate, or at the first certificate rejected by the verifier, stop and return solve-failure with zero-based failed index n, the valid grid prefix through Yn, the step process on [0,tn], the interpolation on [0,tn], and the solver diagnostic. For no-certificate, retain its last iterate and residual; for a rejected certificate with candidate z, report z and residual Hh(z)−un. If the diagnostic has no finite candidate, its iterate and residual are null. Do not assign Yn+1 or continue. A verified root equals Rh(un) by uniqueness. If every call is verified, return success and the exact grid, step process, and interpolation above. The global dissipativity condition remains an admissibility precondition and is not tested by these finite-value checks. Thus a failed finite solve records failure of certification, not absence of a mathematical root. The algorithm makes no convergence or mean-square stability claim.

CIR paths stay positive and do not explode under the Feller condition

Put z0=x0 and q(z)=a/z−κz/2 on U=(0,∞), with constant diffusion c=σ/2. The function q is C1, hence bounded and Lipschitz on every compact subset of U; c is constant, and z0>0 is deterministic with finite second moment. Apply [F2] directly to these coefficients and initial value to obtain the unique maximal local solution Z of dZ=q(Z)dt+c dW. This construction uses the local theorem for the displayed transformed coefficients; it does not reverse [F1], which only transforms a pre-existing CIR solution. Put δ=8aσ2=4κθσ2−1. The Feller inequality gives δ≥1.

Define s(z)=∫1zu−δexp⁡ ⁣(2κu2σ2)du,z>0. Then s′′(z)/s′(z)=−δ/z+4κz/σ2, and direct substitution gives Ls(z)=s′(z)(az−κ2z+σ28(−δz+4κzσ2))=0. Fix 0<ε<z0<R, define τε=inf⁡{t<ζ:Zt≤ε} and τR=inf⁡{t<ζ:Zt≥R} (with inf⁡∅=∞), and set τε,R=τε∧τR∧T. By [F5], this interval-exit time is a stopping time. Extend s globally by [F7] and apply [F3] to the stopped process. The stopped stochastic integrand is bounded and has finite energy, so [F4] gives Es(ZT∧τε,R)=s(z0). On Aε,R={τε≤T, τε<τR} the stopped value is s(ε); on its complement it is at most s(R). Therefore P(Aε,R)≤s(R)−s(z0)s(R)−s(ε). Since s′(z)=z−δexp⁡(2κz2/σ2) and δ≥1, s(ε)→−∞ as ε↓0. Thus, for each fixed upper level R, the probability of reaching arbitrarily small positive levels before R by time T is zero. Taking a countable union over integer R>z0 excludes lower-boundary termination on paths bounded above; lower-boundary termination can therefore remain only on paths with unbounded upper excursions by time T.

For V(z)=z2, the global Itô formula gives LV(z)=2zq(z)+c2=κθ−κz2≤κθ. For 0<ε<z0<R, stop at τε,R as above. The stopped stochastic integral has mean zero by [F4], so the pathwise generator bound gives EZT∧τε,R2≤z02+κθT. On the event of hitting R before ε by time T, the stopped value is R, hence R2P(τR≤T, τR<τε)≤z02+κθT. For fixed R, as ε↓0 these upper-exit events increase to {τR≤T}: on every path that reaches R by T, the positive continuous path up to its first hit has a positive minimum. Thus P(τR≤T)≤(z02+κθT)/R2, and letting R→∞ rules out upper escape by time T. A local solution cannot terminate while remaining in a compact subset of (0,∞), by [F2]. Step 1.2 excludes lower-boundary termination on bounded paths, and this estimate excludes paths with unbounded upper excursions; hence Z is global and strictly positive on [0,T].

Set X=Z2. Applying [F3] to the global C2 function z↦z2 gives dXt=(2Ztq(Zt)+c2)dt+2cZt dWt=κ(θ−Xt)dt+σXt dWt, since 2a+c2=κθ and 2c=σ. Thus the CIR equation has a global positive strong solution. If X~ is any other positive local strong CIR solution with initial value x0, [F1] makes X~ a local solution of the same q,c equation; local uniqueness in [F2] makes it equal to Z up to every compact exit, so X~=X.

For any p≥1, let Vp(z)=z2p on (0,∞). For each 0<ε<z0<R, use [F7] to extend Vp to a global C2 function agreeing on [ε,R], and apply [F3] to the stopped process. Its generator on the stopped path is LVp(z)=(2pa+p(2p−1)σ24)z2p−2−pκz2p≤Cp(1+z2p). The stopped stochastic integral has mean zero by [F4]. For fixed ε,R, dominated convergence [F8] makes u(t)=EVp(Zt∧τε,R) continuous, and Tonelli [F9] justifies the expectation of its time-integrated generator. Gronwall [F6] gives sup⁡0<ε<z0<Rsup⁡t≤TEVp(Zt∧τε,R)≤Cp,T(1+z02p). Since Z is global, continuous and strictly positive on [0,T], these stopping times equal T eventually along any sequence ε↓0, R↑∞ on almost every path.

For fixed N, [F2], [F3], [F11], and Cauchy--Schwarz [F7] give E∫0T∣es∣2∥Gs∥F2ds<∞, since e has a finite fourth path-supremum moment and Gs has uniformly finite fourth moments. Thus [F6] applies and gives Esup⁡s≤t∣Ms∣≤32m E[sup⁡s≤t∣es∣(∫0t∥Gs∥F2ds)1/2]. Using Cauchy--Schwarz [F7] and uv≤εu2+(4ε)−1v2 (which follows by expanding (εu−v/(2ε))2≥0), the Lipschitz bound on σ, and step 1.2, this is at most 12v(t)+C∫0tv(s)ds+Ch.

For each finite N, [F2] and [F11] give Esup⁡s≤T∣es∣2<∞, and [F12] makes v(t) continuous. Taking the supremum over times up to t in Itô's identity [F5], the pointwise majorant in step 2.1 gives sup⁡u≤t∫0uHsds≤∫0tHsds; now take expectations and insert steps 2.1–2.2. Moving v(t)/2 to the left gives v(t)≤C∫0tv(s)ds+Ch. Gronwall [F8] yields v(T)≤CTh. AC is inherited exactly through [A1], so the stated strong order follows.

Lamperti drift-implicit CIR scheme converges on finite horizons in probability

Statement

Assume AC, κ,θ,σ>0, 2κθ≥σ2, and deterministic X0=x0>0. Let X be the positive CIR solution from CIR paths stay positive and do not explode under the Feller condition. For h=T/N, initialize Z0=x0 and apply Positive Lamperti drift-implicit scheme for the CIR process to obtain Zn and Xnh=Zn2. Then for every T>0, max⁡0≤n≤N∣Xtn−Xnh∣⟶0in probability as N→∞. This is convergence in probability on each finite horizon; no Lp error rate is asserted.

The exact path Z=X is continuous and strictly positive on the compact interval [0,T] by [F2]. Hence its pathwise minimum is positive and its maximum is finite. For every η>0 choose 0<ε<R so that the event Eε,R={ε≤Zt≤R for every t≤T} has probability at least 1−η; these events increase to a probability-one event as ε↓0 and R↑∞.

Write c=σ/2 and rn+1=∫tntn+1(q(Zs)−q(Ztn+1))ds. The exact SDE and the implicit recursion give Ztn+1=Ztn+hq(Ztn+1)+cΔWn+rn+1,Zn+1=Zn+hq(Zn+1)+cΔWn. Let en=Zn−Ztn. Since q′(z)=−a/z2−κ/2≤−κ/2, the mean-value theorem gives (u−v)(q(u)−q(v))≤−κ∣u−v∣2/2 for positive u,v. Subtract the two updates and take the inner product with en+1: (1+hκ/2)∣en+1∣2≤∣en+1∣ ∣en−rn+1∣. If en+1=0 the next bound is immediate; otherwise divide by (1+hκ/2)∣en+1∣ to get ∣en+1∣≤∣en∣+∣rn+1∣. As e0=0, max⁡n≤N∣en∣≤∑n<N∣rn+1∣.

On Eε,R, the drift q is bounded by B and is Lipschitz with a constant L. For s∈[tn,tn+1], the exact transformed equation gives ∣Zs−Ztn+1∣≤Bh+c∣Ws−Wtn+1∣. A centered normal variable of variance v>0 has absolute first moment 22πv∫0∞xe−x2/(2v)dx=2v/π by direct integration of its density; at v=0 both sides are zero. Thus, using 1Eε,R≤1 (without assuming independence of this path event from the increment) and [F3], E[1Eε,R∣rn+1∣]≤L∫tntn+1(Bh+c2(tn+1−s)/π)ds≤Cε,R(h2+h3/2). Summing over n<N and using Nh=T gives E[1Eε,R∑n<N∣rn+1∣]≤Cε,R,Th.

For any ρ>0, steps 1.2–2.1 and [F4] give P(max⁡n≤N∣en∣>ρ)≤P(Eε,Rc)+ρ−1Cε,R,Th. First let N→∞ with ε,R fixed, then let η→0 using step 1.1. Thus max⁡n∣Zn−Ztn∣→0 in probability. On Eε,R∩{max⁡n∣en∣≤1}, ∣Zn+Ztn∣≤2R+1, and hence max⁡n∣Xnh−Xtn∣≤(2R+1)max⁡n∣Zn−Ztn∣. The probability of the complementary event is arbitrarily small by the event construction in step 1.1 and the convergence just proved. This gives the stated convergence in probability for Xnh=Zn2. No Lp rate follows from this localization argument. AC is exactly [A1].

Strong order one-half for drift-implicit Euler–Maruyama

Statement

Assume AC. Let d,m≥1 be finite, T>0, and consider the autonomous SDE with b∈C1(Rd;Rd) and globally Lipschitz σ:Rd→Rd×m. Suppose that for constants μ≥0, C<∞, and an integer q≥1, ⟨x−y,b(x)−b(y)⟩≤−μ∣x−y∣2,∥Db(x)∥≤C(1+∣x∣q). Let ξ have all finite moments and let X be the corresponding global strong solution. For N≥max⁡(1,⌈T⌉), put h=T/N and let Yn be the exact-resolvent drift-implicit Euler–Maruyama values from Drift-implicit Euler–Maruyama with explicit solve-failure status. There is a constant CT independent of N such that Emax⁡0≤n≤N∣Xtn−Yn∣2≤CTh. Moreover, for two such numerical sequences driven by the same Brownian increments but with initial values ξ,ξ~, E∣Yn−Y~n∣2≤eLσ2tnE∣ξ−ξ~∣2, where Lσ is a global Lipschitz constant of σ. The second estimate is finite-time mean-square stability; it does not claim strict contraction when diffusion is present.

For each Brownian coordinate Wj, a scalar finite-energy Itô integral has a continuous square-integrable martingale version. Each coordinate of a matrix integral is a finite sum of these scalar martingales, hence is a square-integrable martingale by linearity of conditional expectation. Its grid increments therefore have conditional mean zero given the preceding sigma-algebra. The Ito integral process has a continuous martingale version

First fix N. Since Rh(−hb(0))=0, [F1] gives ∣Rh(u)∣≤∣u∣+h∣b(0)∣. Its continuity, linear growth of σ, and the independent Gaussian increments show by finite induction that Yn is Ftn-measurable and has every finite moment; the same holds for the comparison sequence. Together with [F2] and Hölder [F6], these moments give finite expected square energy for all stochastic integrands below, including products of a grid error and a diffusion difference. These preliminary bounds may depend on N. For two updates with difference en=Yn−Y~n, [F1] and Brownian independence give E(∣en+1∣2∣Ftn)≤(1+hμ)−2E(∣en+(σ(Yn)−σ(Y~n))ΔWn∣2∣Ftn)≤(1+hLσ2)∣en∣2. The cross term vanishes because en and the diffusion difference are Ftn-measurable and ΔWn is independent with mean zero; its covariance is hIm. Iterating and using (1+hLσ2)n≤eLσ2tn proves the second estimate.

Let Xn=Xtn and define dn+1=∫tntn+1(b(Xs)−b(Xn+1))ds,mn+1=∫tntn+1(σ(Xs)−σ(Xn))dWs. The SDE integral equation gives Xn+1−hb(Xn+1)=Xn+σ(Xn)ΔWn+dn+1+mn+1. With Rh=(I−hb)−1, the numerical update and [F1] therefore imply, for en=Yn−Xn, ∣en+1∣≤∣en+ξn+1−dn+1∣,ξn+1=∫tntn+1(σ(Yn)−σ(Xs))dWs. The identity for ξn+1 follows by adding and subtracting σ(Xn)ΔWn. Its conditional mean given Ftn is zero by [F9].

From [F2], linear growth of σ, and the SDE equation, for r=2,4 and s∈[tn,tn+1], E∣Xs−Xn∣r+E∣Xs−Xn+1∣r≤Crhr/2. Indeed the drift increment over either intervening interval has rth moment at most hr−1∫tntn+1E∣b(Xu)∣rdu≤Chr by Hölder and [F10], while [F4] bounds the stochastic increment by CrE(∫tntn+1∥σ(Xu)∥F2du)r/2≤Crhr/2. The polynomial local-Lipschitz estimate [F5], all moments in [F2], and Hölder [F6] then give E∣dn+1∣2≤h∫tntn+1E∣b(Xs)−b(Xn+1)∣2ds≤Ch3. For any finite-energy matrix G, writing each coordinate as a sum over the m Brownian coordinates, the scalar isometry [F3] and ∣∑jaj∣2≤m∑j∣aj∣2 give E∣∫abGs dWs∣2≤m∑i,jE∣∫abGsij dWsj∣2=mE∫ab∥Gs∥F2ds. Apply this to Gs=σ(Yn)−σ(Xs) and use global Lipschitzness to obtain E∣ξn+1∣2≤ChE∣en∣2+Ch2. The constants here are independent of N.

Put vj=Emax⁡k≤j∣ek∣2 for 0≤j≤N, finite by step 1.1. The partial sums Mj=2∑n<j⟨en,ξn+1⟩ form a martingale by [F9]. Written as one Brownian Itô integral, its integrand on (tn,tn+1] is 2enT(σ(Yn)−σ(Xs)), whose expected square energy is finite by the fourth moments in step 1.1 and [F2]. For 1≤j≤N, the L1 maximal bound [F4] therefore gives Emax⁡l≤j∣Ml∣≤32m E[max⁡n<j∣en∣(∑n<j∫tntn+1∥σ(Yn)−σ(Xs)∥F2ds)1/2]. Applying uv≤εu2+(4ε)−1v2 (obtained by expanding (εu−v/(2ε))2≥0) factors out the error maximum and yields, for any ε>0, Emax⁡l≤j∣Ml∣≤εvj−1+CεE∑n<j∫tntn+1∥σ(Yn)−σ(Xs)∥F2ds. By Lipschitzness, ∥σ(Yn)−σ(Xs)∥F2≤2Lσ2(∣en∣2+∣Xs−Xn∣2). Step 2.1 and Tonelli [F10] then give Emax⁡l≤j∣Ml∣≤εvj−1+Cεh∑n<jE∣en∣2+Cεh, since ∑n<j∫tntn+1E∣Xs−Xn∣2ds≤Ch.

Recall vj from step 3.2; e0=0 because both methods start from ξ. Subtract ∣en∣2 from both sides of step 3.1 and sum from n=0 to j−1. Taking the maximum over partial endpoints makes the martingale term max⁡l≤j∣Ml∣; the remaining nonnegative terms have expectation at most Ch∑k<jvk+Ch by the local bounds in steps 2.1--2.2. Use step 3.2 with ε=1/2; since vj−1≤vj, absorb the martingale contribution to obtain vj≤Ch∑k<jvk+Ch. Choose C0≥C so this implies vj≤C0wj for wj=h+h∑k<jvk. Then wj+1=wj+hvj≤(1+C0h)wj and w0=h, so vN≤C0h(1+C0h)N≤C0eC0Th. This proves the first assertion; the stability assertion was proved in step 1.1. AC is exactly [A1].
