Abstract

In this paper, we study the diffusion approximation for slow-fast stochastic differential equations with state-dependent switching, where the slow component XεX^{\varepsilon} is the solution of a stochastic differential equation with additional homogenization term, while the fast component αε\alpha^{\varepsilon} is a switching process. We first prove the weak convergence of {Xε}0<ε1\{X^\varepsilon\}_{0<\varepsilon\leq 1} to Xˉ\bar{X} in the space of continuous functions, as ε0\varepsilon\rightarrow 0. Using the martingale problem approach and Poisson equation associated with a Markov chain, we identify this weak limiting process as the unique solution Xˉ\bar{X} of a new stochastic differential equation, which has new drift and diffusion terms that differ from those in the original equation. Next, we prove the order 1/21/2 of weak convergence of XtεX^{\varepsilon}_t to Xˉt\bar{X}_t by applying suitable test functions ϕ\phi, for any t[0,T]t\in [0, T]. Additionally, we provide an example to illustrate that the order we achieve is optimal.
