Convergence and stability of modified partially truncated Euler-Maruyama method for stochastic differential equations with piecewise continuous arguments

AbstractThis paper constructs a modified partially truncated Euler-Maruyama (EM) method for stochastic differential equations with piecewise continuous arguments (SDEPCAs), where the drift and diffusion coefficients grow superlinearly. We divide the coefficients of SDEPCAs into global Lipschitz continuous and superlinearly growing parts. Our method only truncates the superlinear terms of the coefficients to overcome the potential explosions caused by the nonlinearities of the coefficients. The strong convergence theory of this method is established and the 1/2 convergence rate is presented. Furthermore, an explicit scheme is developed to preserve the mean square exponential stability of underlying SDEPCAs. Several numerical experiments are offered to illustrate the theoretical results.Keywords: Modified partially truncated EM methodstochastic differential equations with piecewise continuous argumentsstrong convergenceconvergence ratemean square exponential stabilityDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).
