In this paper, we simulate diffusion bridges by using an approximation of the Wiener-chaos expansion (WCE), or a Fourier-Hermite expansion, for a related diffusion process. Indeed, we consider the solution of stochastic differential…

Noncolliding diffusion processes reported in the present paper are $N$-particle systems of diffusion processes in one-dimension, which are conditioned so that all particles start from the origin and never collide with each other in a finite…
