Jc. Jimenez et al., Simulation of stochastic differential equations through the local linearization method. A comparative study, J STAT PHYS, 94(3-4), 1999, pp. 587-602
A new local linearization (LL) scheme for the numerical integration of nona
utonomous multidimensional stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with ad
ditive noise is introduced. The numerical scheme is based on the local line
arization of the SDE's drift coefficient by means of a truncated Ito-Taylor
expansion. A comparative study with the other LL schemes is presented whic
h shows some advantanges of the new scheme over other ones.
