A new algorithm based on the Monte Carlo technique to generate the random variable FPT of a time homogeneous diffusion process (1, 2 and 3D) through a time-dependent boundary, order to estimate her probability density function.
Let \(X_t\) be a diffusion process which is the unique solution of the following stochastic differential equation:
\begin{equation}\label{eds01} dX_t = \mu(t,X_t) dt + \sigma(t,X_t) dW_t,\quad X_{t_{0}}=x_{0} \end{equation}if \(S(t)\) is a time-dependent boundary, we are interested in generating the first passage time (FPT) of the diffusion process through this boundary that is we will study the following random variable:
\[ \tau_{S(t)}= \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} inf \left\{t: X_{t} \geq S(t)|X_{t_{0}}=x_{0} \right\} & \hbox{if} \quad x_{0} \leq S(t_{0}) \\ inf \left\{t: X_{t} \leq S(t)|X_{t_{0}}=x_{0} \right\} & \hbox{if} \quad x_{0} \geq S(t_{0}) \end{array} \right. \]
The main arguments to fptsdekd()
(where k=1,2,3
) consist:
object
an object inheriting from class snssde1d
, snssde2d
and snssde3d
.boundary
an expression of a constant or time-dependent boundary \(S(t)\).Consider the following SDE and linear boundary:
\begin{align*} dX_{t}= & \frac{1}{2} \alpha^2 X_{t} dt + \alpha X_{t} dW_{t},~x_{0} \neq 0.\\ S(t)= & a+bt \end{align*}The analytical solution of this model is: \[ X_t = x_{0}\exp\left(\alpha W_{t}\right) \] generating the first passage time (FPT) of this model through this boundary: \[ \tau_{S(t)}= \inf \left\{t: X_{t} \geq S(t) |X_{t_{0}}=x_{0} \right\} ~~ \text{if} \quad x_{0} \leq S(t_{0}) \]
Set the model \(X_t\):
alpha=2
f <- expression( alpha^2 * x )
g <- expression( alpha * x )
mod1d <- snssde1d(drift=f,diffusion=g,x0=0.5,M=1000)
Generate the first-passage-time \(\tau_{S(t)}\), with fptsde1d()
