A Numerical scheme for backward doubly stochastic differential equations

Abstract

In this paper we propose a numerical scheme for the class of backward doubly stochastic (BDSDEs) with possible path-dependent terminal values. We prove that our scheme converge in the strong $L^2$-sense and derive its rate of convergence. As an intermediate step we derive an $L^2$-type regularity of the solution to such BDSDEs. Such a notion of regularity which can be though of as the modulus of continuity of the paths in an $L^2$-sense, is new.

The version has been greatly improved and is accepted for publication in Bernoulli
