Ignoring Blow-Ups for Approximations
Abstract
It is well known that for SDEs with non-Lipschitz coefficients, the Euler scheme can fail to converge in an Lp sense. It is also widely observed that convergence fails only due to rare explosive trajectories, that distort the expectation. In this work we demonstrate that almost any method of removing these rare explosive trajectories leads to convergence in a suitable strong and weak sense. We apply this framework to coefficients that grow faster than linearly at infinity and Lennard-Jones type coefficients that explode like a reciprocal power on a compact set.
