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.

Stable sde schemes for superlinear drift — Examples

1 · Prerequisites

2 · Summary

The cubic dissipative equation shows that explicit Euler moments can diverge even when the exact SDE has finite moments. The CIR example checks positivity of the implicit Lamperti step from the boundary input, including a negative Brownian increment. The linear multiplicative-noise example separates deterministic Euler stability from stochastic mean-square stability and compares explicit and drift-implicit updates quantitatively.

Explicit Euler moments diverge for a cubic dissipative SDE

Statement

Fix T>0 and consider dXt=−Xt3dt+dWt,X0=0. For N≥1, let h=T/N and let Y0=0, Yn+1=Yn−hYn3+(Wtn+1−Wtn),tn=nh. The exact solution has finite moments of every order at time T, but for every p≥1, lim⁡N→∞E∣YN∣p=+∞.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: AC, a one-dimensional standard Brownian motion, fixed T>0, and the SDE and Euler–Maruyama scheme in the Statement.

1.1F3givenalgebra

The drift b(x)=−x3 satisfies (x−y)(b(x)−b(y))=−(x−y)2(x2+xy+y2)≤0, since x2+xy+y2=(x+y/2)2+3y2/4≥0. Also ∣b′(x)∣=3x2≤3(1+∣x∣2), and σ(x)=1 is globally Lipschitz. Thus [F3] applies with deterministic X0=0, so E∣XT∣p<∞ for every finite p≥1.

The algorithm [F1] gives the displayed recursion. For h≤1/4, set EN={h−1≤ΔW0≤2h−1}∩⋂n=1N−1{∣ΔWn∣≤1}. The increments are independent by [F2]. The normal density, bounded below on [h−1,2h−1] by its value at 2h−1, gives P(h−1≤ΔW0≤2h−1)≥(2π)−1/2h−3/2e−2h−3. Also P(∣ΔWn∣>1)≤E∣ΔWn∣2=h, since 1{∣z∣>1}≤∣z∣2. For h≤1/4, (1−h)N−1≥e−2h(N−1)≥e−2T. Hence P(EN)≥(2π)−1/2e−2Th−3/2e−2h−3.

On EN, Y1=ΔW0≥h−1. If ∣y∣≥h−1 and ∣δ∣≤1, then ∣y−hy3+δ∣≥h∣y∣3−∣y∣−1=h∣y∣3(1−1h∣y∣2−1h∣y∣3)≥h2∣y∣3, because the two fractions are at most h and h2, whose sum is at most 5/16<1/2. The lower bound is at least h−1 when h≤1/2 and ∣y∣≥h−1. Induction therefore gives ∣Yn∣≥h−1 for all 1≤n≤N on EN. With zn=h/2∣Yn∣, the same inequality gives zn+1≥zn3, while z1≥(2h)−1/2>1. Thus ∣YN∣≥2/h (2h)−3N−1/2on EN.

Combining steps 1.2 and 2.1 yields E∣YN∣p≥(2π)−1/2e−2Th−3/2e−2h−3(2/h (2h)−3N−1/2)p. Here h=T/N. The positive logarithmic term p23N−1log⁡((2h)−1) grows faster than the negative term 2h−3=2N3/T3, so this lower bound tends to +∞. AC is exactly [A1].

The CIR Lamperti step remains positive from the boundary value

Statement

Let κ,θ,σ,h>0 satisfy 2κθ≥σ2. Starting the numerical Lamperti state at the boundary value zn=0, even a negative Brownian increment ΔWn=−r with arbitrary r≥0 gives a strictly positive next state under the CIR scheme.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: AC, positive parameters satisfying the Feller condition, zn=0, and ΔWn=−r for r≥0.

[F1]

Put a=(4κθ−σ2)/8, A=1+κh/2, and c=zn+σΔWn/2. The scheme returns (c+c2+4Aah)/(2A). Positive Lamperti drift-implicit scheme for the CIR process

[F2]

Under κ,θ,σ>0 and 2κθ≥σ2, a>0 and the displayed root is the unique positive solution of the drift-implicit Lamperti equation for every zn≥0 and finite increment. CIR Lamperti equation and unique positive implicit root

[A1]

AC is inherited from the numerical Brownian and algebraic interfaces. The Axiom of Choice

Proof

Given: The hypotheses and supplier statements above.

1.1F1F2givenalgebra

From the parameter assumptions, 4κθ−σ2≥σ2>0, so a>0; also A=1+κh/2>0. With zn=0 and ΔWn=−r, c=−σr/2≤0.

2.1A1F1F2step 1.1givenalgebra∎

Since 4Aah>0, c2+4Aah>∣c∣=σr/2. Therefore the numerator c+c2+4Aah and denominator 2A are both strictly positive, so the algorithm's next Lamperti state is positive. Its square is also strictly positive. The uniqueness and equation interpretation follow from [F2], including the case r=0. AC is exactly [A1].

Noise destabilizes explicit Euler while drift-implicit Euler contracts

Statement

Consider the mean-square stable scalar SDE dXt=−2Xtdt+3Xt dWt,X0=1. Its exact second moment is E∣Xt∣2=e−t. On a grid with h=1/2, explicit Euler–Maruyama has one-step mean-square amplification 3/2>1, even though the deterministic Euler multiplier is zero. The drift-implicit Euler–Maruyama update has one-step mean-square factor 5/8<1.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: AC; a one-dimensional Brownian motion; the scalar SDE and h=1/2 grid in the Statement.

Proof

Given: The hypotheses and supplier statements above.

1.1F1F2F3givenalgebra

Define Xt=exp⁡(−7t/2+3Wt). Itô's formula [F2] gives dXt=(−7/2+3/2)Xtdt+3Xt dWt=−2Xtdt+3Xt dWt and X0=1. The coefficients are globally Lipschitz, so [F1] identifies this with the unique strong solution. For t>0, completing the square in the N(0,t) density gives EeuWt=eu2t/2; at t=0 both sides are 1. Hence E∣Xt∣2=e−7tEe23Wt=e−7te6t=e−t.

1.2F3F4givenalgebra

Let Yn be explicit Euler with h=1/2. Since b(x)=−2x and σ(x)=3x, [F4] gives Yn+1=3YnΔWn. Conditional on Ftn, independence and variance h imply E(∣Yn+1∣2∣Ftn)=3h∣Yn∣2=32∣Yn∣2. Without the noise term, the deterministic multiplier is 1−2h=0, so the factor greater than one here is caused by the stochastic increment.

2.1A1F3F5givenalgebra∎

For drift-implicit Euler, the resolvent equation is Yn+1+2hYn+1=Yn+3YnΔWn. At h=1/2 this gives Yn+1=12(1+3ΔWn)Yn. Hence E(∣Yn+1∣2∣Ftn)=14(1+3h)∣Yn∣2=58∣Yn∣2. The factor is strictly below one, so iteration gives E∣Yn∣2≤(5/8)n∣Y0∣2. The implicit resolvent exists because x↦x+2hx is bijective. AC is exactly [A1].
