Abstract

We examine the numerical approximation of a quasilinear stochastic differential equation (SDE) with multiplicative fractional Brownian motion. The stochastic integral is interpreted in the Wick-It\^o-Skorohod (WIS) sense that is well defined and centered for all H(0,1)H\in(0,1). We give an introduction to the theory of WIS integration before we examine existence and uniqueness of a solution to the SDE. We then introduce our numerical method which is based on previous theoretical results for H12H\geq \frac{1}{2}. We construct explicitly a translation operator required for the practical implementation of the method and are not aware of any other implementation of a numerical method for the WIS SDE. We then prove a strong convergence result that gives, in the autonomous case, an error of O(ΔtH)O(\Delta t^H) and in the non-autonomous case O(Δtmin(H,ζ))O(\Delta t^{\min(H,\zeta)}), where ζ\zeta is a time-H\"older continuity parameter. We present some numerical experiments and conjecture that the theoretical results may not be optimal since we observe numerically a rate of min(H+12,1)\min(H+\frac{1}{2},1) in the autonomous case. This work opens up the possibility to efficiently simulate SDEs for all HH values, including small values of HH when the stochastic integral is interpreted in the WIS sense.
