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.

2 · Summary
This page develops three specific methods for SDEs outside the globally Lipschitz drift setting. The tamed Euler update replaces by ; under a one-sided Lipschitz condition, a polynomial bound on , 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 . 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 and solves a quadratic implicit step with a unique strictly positive root under the Feller condition . The exact solution is shown to remain positive and nonexplosive; localization then proves convergence in probability on finite horizons. No 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 , finite dimensions , and an open set . Use a complete usual filtered probability space and an adapted standard -dimensional Brownian motion whose increments after time are independent of , as in -dimensional Brownian motion and Continuous Brownian Ito processes. Let and be Borel maps. Require that they are bounded on every compact subset of and locally Lipschitz in the state uniformly in time: for every compact there is such that, for every and , Let be -measurable, take values in almost surely, be independent of the future Brownian increments, and satisfy .
For , set When , interpret . If , the distance function is -Lipschitz, so each is closed; it is bounded, hence compact by Heine--Borel. For , each is a closed ball and is compact as well. As increases, the radius bound increases and the distance threshold decreases, so the sets are nested. Every belongs to for all sufficiently large : choose and, when , . Thus their interiors exhaust . , so the distance to a fixed nonempty set is -Lipschitz Heine-Borel in : with the Euclidean metric a subset of 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 and stopping times Continuous-time stopping times and stopped sigma-algebras such that with the equation holding indistinguishably and with constant after . Empty early simply give . Compatibility means that for , stopped at equals up to indistinguishability. The maximal lifetime is ; for , the common value of for sufficiently large defines the maximal local solution .
This definition records a local integral equation; it does not assert that a solution exists or that . 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.

Proof
Given: The hypotheses and suppliers in the Statement and Facts.
For each , choose scalar piecewise-linear cutoffs and with on , on , on , and on . Put on , extend it by zero outside , and use when . The norm and distance functions are Lipschitz, so is Lipschitz, equals one on , and has compact support inside .
Define and on , extended by zero outside . 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 are therefore locally Lipschitz, including at the support boundary where the cutoff vanishes. A compactly supported locally Lipschitz map on 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 are globally Lipschitz and have linear growth.
By [F2], each truncated equation with coefficients and initial value has a unique global strong solution . If , take its exit time to be zero; otherwise stop at the first exit from . For , stop at the first time either leaves . Before that stop both states lie in , where both truncations equal .
Let up to the common stop , and put , finite by [F2]. Write a finite-energy matrix integral coordinatewise as . Since by [F6], summing the scalar bounds [F4] gives . Apply this to ; boundedness on gives finite energy. The common coefficient Lipschitz constant on , [F5], and now give With , the continuous majorant satisfies and , so [F7] gives . Hence the truncated solutions agree until either exits ; continuity makes those exit times equal, and stopped at equals stopped there.
The stopped family is compatible by step 4.1 and satisfies the stopped integral equation because each cutoff equals the original coefficients on . The exit times increase, since the compact sets are nested and the paths agree up to each earlier exit. Since , its lifetime and common values before give a local strong solution in the sense of [F1]. For any two local solutions, their -stopped path suprema are bounded by and hence are square-integrable; the same difference estimate therefore proves equality up to the minimum of their lifetimes. AC is exactly [A1].

Use [F5] to extend from that interval to a global function equal to zero off its positive support, then apply [F1] to the stopped process . On its state stays in , so the extended function and its derivatives agree with , and by [F4]. The resulting drift is and the diffusion is . The countable compact exhaustion proves the identity up to every compact exit and hence on the local solution's lifetime.
The Feller inequality implies , so . Thus for the numerical step and .
Multiplying the drift-implicit equation by and collecting terms gives , with . Its discriminant is , so [F3] gives a square root strictly larger than . The quadratic formula gives the positive root ; the other root has negative numerator and positive denominator, hence is negative.
Every positive solution must be one of those two quadratic roots, and only the first is positive. Substitution verifies the displayed positive root in the original equation, so it is the unique admissible step, including when . AC is exactly [A1].

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 with . An admissible mathematical input has finite dimensions , , with , an autonomous continuous drift , a finite-valued Borel diffusion , and a finite -measurable initial state . It also has a constant such that This global condition is a precondition on the mathematical input, not a runtime test over all . For , set and let , which is defined uniquely on all of by Backward Euler has a globally defined nonexpansive resolvent (contractive when strongly dissipative).
First check that are positive integers, is finite and positive,
is a positive integer, , and is finite. If any of
these checks fails, return invalid-input. An exact execution then sets
and, for , computes
It returns the grid values, the left-endpoint step process
and the continuous interpolation
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 and
an integer work cap . Each call must terminate after at
most 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
is finite and . 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 , the valid grid prefix through
, the step process on , the interpolation on , and the
solver diagnostic. For no-certificate, retain its last iterate and residual;
for a rejected certificate with candidate , report and residual
. If the diagnostic has no finite candidate, its iterate and
residual are null. Do not assign or continue. A
verified root equals 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.

Put and on , with constant diffusion . The function is , hence bounded and Lipschitz on every compact subset of ; is constant, and is deterministic with finite second moment. Apply [F2] directly to these coefficients and initial value to obtain the unique maximal local solution of . 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 The Feller inequality gives .
Define Then , and direct substitution gives Fix , define and (with ), and set . By [F5], this interval-exit time is a stopping time. Extend globally by [F7] and apply [F3] to the stopped process. The stopped stochastic integrand is bounded and has finite energy, so [F4] gives . On the stopped value is ; on its complement it is at most . Therefore Since and , as . Thus, for each fixed upper level , the probability of reaching arbitrarily small positive levels before by time is zero. Taking a countable union over integer excludes lower-boundary termination on paths bounded above; lower-boundary termination can therefore remain only on paths with unbounded upper excursions by time .
For , the global Itô formula gives For , stop at as above. The stopped stochastic integral has mean zero by [F4], so the pathwise generator bound gives On the event of hitting before by time , the stopped value is , hence For fixed , as these upper-exit events increase to : on every path that reaches by , the positive continuous path up to its first hit has a positive minimum. Thus , and letting rules out upper escape by time . A local solution cannot terminate while remaining in a compact subset of , by [F2]. Step 1.2 excludes lower-boundary termination on bounded paths, and this estimate excludes paths with unbounded upper excursions; hence is global and strictly positive on .
Set . Applying [F3] to the global function gives since and . Thus the CIR equation has a global positive strong solution. If is any other positive local strong CIR solution with initial value , [F1] makes a local solution of the same equation; local uniqueness in [F2] makes it equal to up to every compact exit, so .
For any , let on . For each , use [F7] to extend to a global function agreeing on , and apply [F3] to the stopped process. Its generator on the stopped path is The stopped stochastic integral has mean zero by [F4]. For fixed , dominated convergence [F8] makes continuous, and Tonelli [F9] justifies the expectation of its time-integrated generator. Gronwall [F6] gives Since is global, continuous and strictly positive on , these stopping times equal eventually along any sequence , on almost every path. Fatou's lemma [F10] then yields , and gives the claimed CIR moment bound. AC is exactly [A1].

First fix . Since , [F1] gives . Its continuity, linear growth of , and the independent Gaussian increments show by finite induction that is -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.
