We investigate nonequilibrium steady-state dynamics in both continuous- and discrete-state stochastic processes. Our analysis focuses on planar diffusion dynamics and their coarse-grained approximations by discrete-state Markov chains.…

We investigate the strong approximation of stochastic differential equations whose drift is square-integrable in time and Dini continuous in space, while the diffusion coefficient is non-constant and uniformly elliptic. Using a refined…
