Mini-course on numerical methods for SDEs
30 August - 02 September, 2016
Please check for last-minute updates!
The mini-course is designed to give an accessible introduction to numerical discretisation
of stochastic differential equations (SDEs). Prerequisites will be kept to a minimum.
We assume only a basic competence in calculus (including ordinary differential equations) and probability.
Some familiarity with fundamental concepts from numerical analysis is also desirable, but not absolutely necessary.
We will mention some open research problems and discuss applications in molecular dynamics and financial engineering.
Topics:
Basics of stochastic processes and SDEs
Numerical methods for SDEs -- the mean-square sense
Numerical methods for SDEs -- the weak sense
Basics of the Monte Carlo technique and variance reduction
Computing ergodic limits
Stochastic geometric integration
Applications in molecular dynamics and finance
