SDE Types

Mathematical Specification of a SDE Problem

To define an SDE Problem, you simply need to give the forcing function $f$, the noise function g, and the initial condition $u₀$ which define an SDE:

\[du = f(t,u)dt + Σgᵢ(t,u)dWⁱ\]

f and g should be specified as f(t,u) and g(t,u) respectively, and u₀ should be an AbstractArray whose geometry matches the desired geometry of u. Note that we are not limited to numbers or vectors for u₀; one is allowed to provide u₀ as arbitrary matrices / higher dimension tensors as well. A vector of gs can also be defined to determine an SDE of higher Ito dimension.

Problem Type

Wraps the data which defines an SDE problem

\[u = f(u,t)dt + Σgᵢ(u,t)dWⁱ\]

with initial condition $u0$.

Constructors

SDEProblem(f,g,u0,tspan,noise=WHITE_NOISE) : Defines the SDE with the specified functions. The default noise is WHITE_NOISE.

Example Problems

Examples problems can be found in DiffEqProblemLibrary.jl.

To use a sample problem, such as prob_sde_linear, you can do something like:

# Pkg.add("DiffEqProblemLibrary")
using DiffEqProblemLibrary
prob = prob_sde_linear
sol = solve(prob)

\[du_t = βudt + αudW_t\]

where β=1.01, α=0.87, and initial condtion u0=1/2, with solution

\[u(t,u0,W_t)=u0\exp((α-\frac{β^2}{2})t+βW_t)\]
