  • Title: Yet another learning algorithm for Backward Stochastic Differential Equations
  • Abstract: 
​Backward Stochastic Differential Equations are stochastic processes that allow to represent the solution of semi-linear PDEs.
They are used to design numerical probabilistic methods for these PDEs. Recently, learning methods have proven to be successful in computing the solution of such equation in high dimensional settings.
We present a learning algorithm based on a stochastic gradient descent method and the use of sparse grids. We are able to prove precise rate of convergence for this numerical method, which allows to tame the curse of dimensionality in a smooth setting. We illustrate our theoretical results with some numerical experiments.
Joint work with J.-F. Chassagneux, J. Chen and C. Zhou.

  • Title: Higher order weak approximation for SDEs and BSDEs of McKean-Vlasov type
  • Abstract:
In this talk, we give a higher order discretization method for McKean-Vlasov type SDEs. Numerical examples for the discretization (up to fourth order) scheme are shown for McKean-Vlasov SDEs. Also, we introduce a second order discretization scheme for decoupled McKean-Vlasov BSDEs. Some applications will be discussed.
The talk is based on the joint work with Riu Naito.

  • Title: Well-posedness of McKean-Vlasov SDEs, related PDE on the Wasserstein space and some new quantitative estimates for propagation of chaos.
  • Abstract:
In this talk, i will present some new well-posedness results for non-linear diffusion/jump processes in the sense of McKean-Vlasov which go beyond the (well-understood) Cauchy-Lipschitz theory (see e.g. the course at St-Flou of A.S. Sznitman). For non-linear diffusion processes, I will show how the underlying noise regularizes the system and allows to establish the existence and the regularity properties of the transition density with respect to the measure argument, under a uniform ellipticity assumption. I will present the link between this smoothing effect with respect to the initial measure and the Backward Kolmogorov PDE on the Wasserstein space, which is the space of probability measures with finite second order moment. Finally, I will show how classical solutions to this PDE play a key role to establish some new quantitative estimates of propagation of chaos for the approximation of the mean-field dynamics by the related particle system.
This presentation is based on some recent works in collaboration with: P.-E. Chaudru de Raynal (Université Savoie Mont Blanc), V. Konakov (HSE Moscou), L. Li (UNSW Sydney) and S. Menozzi (Université d’Evry Val d’Essone).

  • Title: On stochastic partial differential equations driven by transport noise
  • Abstract:
I will discuss some (local and global) well-posedness results and a Beale–Kato–Majda blow-up criterion for stochastic fluid equations for incompressible flows. This is joint work with Franco Flandoli, Darryl Holm, Oana Lang and Oliver Street. The work is motivated by application to the study of upper ocean dynamics.

  • Title: A positivity-preserving numerical scheme for the alpha-CEV process
  • Abstract: 
​We propose and prove strong convergence of a positivity-preserving implicit numerical scheme for jump-extended Cox-Ingersoll-Ross (CIR) process and Constant-Elasticity-of-Variance (CEV) process, where the jumps are governed by a compensated spectrally positive alpha-stable Levy process for alpha in (1, 2).
This class of models have first been studied in the context of continuous branching processes with interaction and/or immigration, and in this class a model has been introduced to mathematical finance for modelling sovereign interest rates and the energy market, which was named the alpha-CIR process. Numerical schemes for jump-extended CIR and CEV processes in the current literature, to the best of our knowledge, have all focused on the case of finite activity jumps (e.g. Poisson jumps) except our previous work studying a positivity-preserving scheme for the alpha-CIR process. In this paper, besides strong convergence we also obtain bounded beta-moments of the numerical scheme, for beta in [1, alpha), which allows us to left the boundedness requirement on the jump coefficient, and hence avoid truncation.

  • Title: On a Monte Carlo scheme for a stochasticquantity of SPDEs with discontinuous initial conditions
  • Abstract:
The aim of this seminar is to study the simulation of an expectation of a stochastic quantity $\e[f(u(t,x))]$ for a solution of stochastic partial differential equation driven by multiplicative noise with a non-smooth coefficients and a boundary condition: $Lu(t,x)=h(t,x) \dot{W}(t,x)$.
We first define a Monte Carlo scheme $P_{t}^{(N,M,L)}f(x)$ for $P_{t}f(x):=\e[f(u(t,x))]$, where $f$ is a bounded measurable function $f$ and $u(t,x)$ is a solution of stochastic partial differential equation given by Duhamel’s formula, and then we prove the convergence of the Monte Carlo scheme $P_{t}^{(N,M,L)}f(x)$ to $P_{t}f(x)$ and  the rate of weak error.
In addition, we introduce results of numerical experiments about the convergence error and the Central limit theorem for the scheme.
