Strong convergence of the split-step θ-method for stochastic age-dependent capital system with Poisson jumps and fractional Brownian motion
Advances in Difference Equations volume 2018, Article number: 371 (2018)
Abstract
Most stochastic age-dependent capital systems cannot be solved explicitly, so it is necessary to develop numerical methods and study the properties of numerical solutions. In this paper, we consider a class of stochastic age-dependent capital systems with Poisson jumps and fractional Brownian motion (fBm) and investigate the convergence of the split-step θ-method (SSθ) for this system. It is proved that the numerical approximation solutions converge to the analytic solutions for the equations, and the order of approximation is also provided. Finally, a numerical experiment is simulated to illustrate that the SSθ method has better accuracy than the Euler method.
1 Introduction
For the past few years, stochastic age-dependent capital systems have become increasingly important mathematical tools to portray many financial phenomena in the real world. However, most stochastic age-dependent capital systems cannot be solved explicitly, so it is necessary to develop numerical methods and study the properties of numerical solutions. Recently, the study of numerical methods for the stochastic age-dependent capital system has received a great deal of attention. For example, Zhang et al. [1] discussed the exponential stability of Euler approximation for the stochastic age-dependent capital system with Poisson jumps, and further studied the convergence of Euler method for a class of stochastic age-dependent capital systems with random jump magnitudes and Markovian switching [2, 3]. Subsequently, Zhang et al. [4] constructed a split-step backward Euler (SSBE) method for stochastic age-dependent capital system with Markovian switching, and proved that the SSBE method converges with strong order of one half to the exact solution under the given conditions. In the above literature works, uncertainties in the financial market (i.e., randomness of the external environment) were considered in the form of a standard Brownian motion because of the imperfection of financial market itself, including innovations in technique, introduction of new products, natural disasters, and changes in laws or government policies. However, the randomness of the external environment is not always well modeled by the standard Brownian motion because of the long-range dependence of price of the financial products. In recent years, some researchers adopted fractional Brownian motion (fBm) to describe this long-range dependence of price in the financial market [5–9]. Therefore, it is a very interesting topic to take Poisson jumps and fBm into account for the stochastic capital systems, and we will consider the following system in this paper:
where \(K_{t^{-}}=\lim_{s\rightarrow t^{-}}K(a, s)\), \(\frac{\partial K_{t^{-}}}{\partial a}=\lim_{s\rightarrow t^{-}}\frac{\partial K_{s}}{\partial a}\), \(D=(0,A)\times(0,T)\). \(K(a, t)\) is the stock of capital goods of age a at time t, the total output produced at time t is denoted by \(N(t)\), a is the age of the capital, the investment \(\varphi(t)\) is a new capital, and \(f(t, K(a, t))\) in the capital of age a are the endogenous variables. The maximum physical lifetime of the capital is defined as A, the planning interval of calendar time \([0, T]\), the depreciation rate \(\mu(a, t)\) of the capital, and the capital density \(K_{0}(a)\) (the initial distribution of the capital over age) are given. \(\gamma(t)\in(0,1)\) and \(A(t)\) denote the accumulative rate and the technical progress at the moment of t, respectively. \(F(L(t), N(t))\) is the production function and \(L(t)\) is the labor force. \(f(t,K_{t^{-}}) \,dt+g(t,K_{t^{-}}) \,dB^{H}(t)+h(t,K_{t^{-}}) \,dN(t)\) denotes effects of the external environment for system (1) which depends on t and \(K(a, t)\). \(B^{H}(t)\) is a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter \(H \in (\frac{1}{2}, 1)\), \(N(t)\) is a scalar Poisson process with intensity \(\lambda>0\), and we assume that \(B^{H}(t)\) is independent of \(N(t)\).
Up to now, the research on numerical solution of model (1) has been mainly focused on Euler method and backward Euler (BE) method. However, these two methods lack flexibility when they are applied to a stochastic age-dependent capital system. Fortunately, a split-step θ-method (SSθ method) constructed by Ding et al. [10] for solving nonlinear non-autonomous stochastic differential equations (SDEs) can make up for this shortcoming for the first time. Recently, the SSθ method has attracted many scholars’ attention because of its advantages in dealing with the flexibility and the stability for the SDEs [11–18]. Researchers find that SSθ method or its improved forms have pretty stable properties, convergence rates, and structure-preserving properties [14, 15, 18–20], and the SSθ method includes Euler method and split-step backward Euler (SSBE) method by fixing \(\theta= 0\) and \(\theta= 1\), respectively. However, as far as we know, few results on the convergence of SSθ method for stochastic age-dependent capital models with Poisson jumps and fBm have been reported. So, we will devote our main attention to the investigation of the following problems of system (1) in this paper.
- (Q1):
-
Will the numerical solution converge to the exact solution when we apply the SSθ method to the stochastic age-dependent capital models with Poisson jumps and fBm (1)?
- (Q2):
-
Will convergence accuracy be better than previous numerical methods?
To answer these questions, the outline of this paper is organized as follows. In Sect. 2, we introduce some basic preliminaries which are essential for our investigation, and the split-step θ-method for stochastic age-dependent capital system with Poisson jumps and fBm is constructed. In Sect. 3, several lemmas which are useful for our main result are proved. Then, in Sect. 4, we establish the main results that the numerical solution converges to the analytical solution for system (1) in the mean square sense. In Sect. 5, a numerical experiment is carried out to support our theoretical results. Finally, a brief conclusion and our future works are presented in Sect. 6.
2 Preliminaries and the split-step θ-method
2.1 Preliminaries
In this section, we introduce some necessary definitions and assumptions needed for the subsequent discussions. Throughout this paper, we denote by \(L^{2}([0, A])\) the space of functions that are square-integrable over the domain \([0, A]\). Let
where \(\frac{\partial\varphi}{\partial a}\) is generalized partial derivatives with respect to age a, V is a Sobolev space, \(W=L^{2}([0, A])\) such that \(V\hookrightarrow W \equiv W^{\prime}\hookrightarrow V^{\prime}\). \(V^{\prime}=W^{-1}([0, A])\) is the dual space of V. We denote by \(\lVert\cdot\rVert\), \(|\cdot|\), and \(\lVert \cdot\lVert_{*}\) the norms in V, W, and \(V^{\prime}\) respectively; by \((\cdot, \cdot)\) the scalar product in W, and by \(\langle\cdot, \cdot\rangle\) the duality product between V and \(V^{\prime}\), defined by
K is a real separable Hilbert space. For an operator \(B \in\mathscr {L}(K, W)\) is the space of all bounded linear operators from K into W. We denote by \(\lVert B \rVert_{2}\) the Hilbert–Schmidt norm, i.e., \(\lVert B \rVert^{2}_{2}=\operatorname{tr}(BWB^{T})\). Let \((\Omega, \mathscr {F},P)\) be a complete probability space with filtrations \(\{\mathscr {F}_{t}\}_{t\geqslant0}\) satisfying the usual conditions (i.e., it is increasing and right continuous, and \(\mathscr{F}_{0}\) contains all P-null sets).
Let \(C=C([0, T]; W)\) be the space of all continuous functions from \([0, T]\) into W with sup-norm \(\lVert\varphi\rVert_{C}=\sup_{0\leq s\leq T}\vert \varphi(s)\vert \), \(L^{P}_{V}=L^{P}([0, T]; V)\), and \(L^{P}_{W}=L^{P}([0, T]; W)\).
Definition 2.1
A fractional Brownian motion (fBm) \(B^{H}=\{B^{H}(t): t\in R\}\) for Hurst parameter \(H \in(0, 1)\) is a continuous and centered Gaussian process with covariance function
The fBm is then a standard Brownian motion when \(H=\frac{1}{2}\).
Remark 2.2
By Definition 2.1, we obtain that a fBm \(B^{H}(t)\) has the following properties:
-
(i)
\(B^{H}(0)=0\) and \(\mathbb{E}[B^{H}(t)]=0\) for all \(t \geqslant0\);
-
(ii)
\(B^{H}(t)\) has homogeneous increments, i.e., \(B^{H}(t+s)-B^{H}(s)\) has the same law of \(B^{H}(t)\) for all \(t, s \geqslant0\);
-
(iii)
\(B^{H}(t)\) is a Gaussian process and \(\mathbb {E}[B^{H}(t)]^{2}=t^{2H}\), \(t \geqslant0\), for all \(H \in(0, 1)\);
-
(iv)
\(B^{H}(t)\) has continuous trajectories;
-
(v)
For any \(\alpha>0\), every \(s, t \in R\), we have \(\mathbb {E}[\vert B^{H}(t)-B^{H}(s)\vert ^{\alpha}]=\mathbb{\mathbb{E}}[\vert B^{H}(1)\vert ^{\alpha}]\vert t-s\vert ^{\alpha H}\).
In order to analyze the stochastic age-dependent capital system with Poisson jumps and fBm (1), we impose the following standard hypotheses:
-
(A1)
\(f(t,0)=0\), \(g(t,0)=0\), \(h(t,0)=0\), \(t \in[0, T]\);
-
(A2)
(The Lipschitz condition) There exists a positive constant l for all \(x, y \in W\), and ∀t, such that
$$ \bigl\vert f(t,y)-f(t,x) \bigr\vert \vee \bigl\lVert g(t,y)-g(t,x) \bigr\rVert _{2} \vee \bigl\vert h(t,y)-h(t,x) \bigr\vert \leqslant l \vert y-x \vert ; $$ -
(A3)
\(\mu(a,t)\) is a nonnegative measurable function in D, \(\gamma(t)\) and \(A(t)\) are nonnegative continuous functions in \([0,T]\) such that
$$ \textstyle\begin{cases} 0 \leqslant\mu_{0} \leqslant\mu(a,t) \leqslant\bar{\mu}< \infty, &\mu _{0} \text{ and }\bar{\mu} \text{ are nonnegative constants};\\ 0 < \gamma(t)A(t) \leqslant\eta, &\eta\text{ is a nonnegative constant in } [0,T]; \end{cases} $$ -
(A4)
$$ \textstyle\begin{cases} F(L, N)\geqslant0\quad (F(L,0)=0),\frac{\partial F(L, N)}{\partial L}>0;\\ 0 < \frac{\partial F(L, N)}{\partial N} \leqslant\delta,\quad \text{where } \delta\text{ is a positive constant.} \end{cases} $$
Now, we give the theorem concerning the existence and uniqueness of solution for system (1), which is essential to discussing the numerical solution of our system.
Theorem 2.3
Under assumptions (A1)–(A4), system (1) has a unique continuous solution \(K(a,t)\) on D.
The proof of this theorem is similar to that in Zhang et al. [21].
2.2 The split-step θ-method
In this subsection, we present the SSθ method, and give the discrete scheme for system (1). Let \(\tau_{j}\) denote the jth jump of occurrence time \(N(t)\). For example, suppose that jumps arrive at distinct, ordered times \(\tau_{1}<\tau_{2}<\cdots\) , let \(0, t_{1},t_{2},\ldots, t_{m}\) be the deterministic grid points of \([0,T]\). We will construct approximate solution to (1) at a discrete set of times \(\tau_{n}\) (\(n=1, 2, \ldots \)). This set is the superposition of the random jump times of the Poisson process in \([0, T]\) and satisfies \(\max|\tau_{i+1}-\tau_{i}|<\Delta_{t}\) (for the sake of simplicity, we denote \(\Delta_{t}\) as Δ). Obviously, the random Poisson jump times can be computed without any knowledge of the realized path of (1). Let \(\Delta=t_{n+1}-t_{n}\), \(\Delta B^{H}_{n}=B^{H}(t_{n+1})-B^{H}(t_{n})\), \(\Delta N_{n}=N(t_{n+1})-N(t_{n})\) denote the increment of the time, fBm, and Poisson process respectively. For system (1), the SSθ method is defined by the iterative scheme for the time increment \(\Delta =\frac{T}{m}\ll1\),
with initial values \(Q^{0}_{t}=K(a, 0)=K_{0}\), \(Q^{n}_{t}\) is the numerical approximation of \(K(a,t_{n})\) with \(t_{n}=n \Delta \), \(n=0,1,2,\ldots \) . Because when \(\theta=0\), the SSθ method becomes the explicit method, and when \(\theta=1\), the SSθ method is the SSBE method, so we let \(\theta\in(0,1)\).
We will state and prove the following result which is useful for the main result of this paper.
Lemma 2.4
Let assumptions (A2) and (A3) hold, when \(0<\Delta< \frac{1}{\theta (l+\bar{\mu})}\), system (1) can be solved uniquely for \(Q^{n*}_{t}\) with probability one.
Proof
Let \(\varPhi(Q^{n*}_{t})=y+\theta\Delta[-\mu (a,t_{n})Q^{n*}_{t}+f(t_{n},Q^{n*}_{t})]\), \(y \in L^{2}_{W}\), and use assumptions (A2) and (A3), we can derive directly from (2) that
Then we can obtain the result via the contraction mapping theorem [22]. □
Following Lemma 2.4, it is convenient for us to use the continuous time approximation solution in our strong convergence analysis. Now, we define the two step functions for \(t\in [t_{n},t_{n+1})\) as follows:
where \(1_{G}\) is the indicator function for the set G. When \(t \in [t_{n}, t_{n+1})\), Lemma 2.4 can ensure the existence of \(Q^{n*}_{t}\) for system (1). So we can define
Thus the integral form of (6) can be written as follows:
with initial value \(Q_{0}=K(a,0)\), \(Q_{t}=K(a,t)\).
It is straightforward to check that \(Z_{1}(a,t_{n})=Q^{n}_{t}\), \(Z_{2}(a,t_{n})=Q^{n*}_{t}\), hence we regard \(Q_{t}\) as a continuous-time extension of the discrete approximation \(Q^{n}_{t}\), the main aim of this paper is to prove a strong convergence result for \(Q_{t}\).
3 Several lemmas
In this section, we provide several lemmas which are useful for the proof of our results.
The next two lemmas give the pth moment boundedness of analytical solution \(K_{t}\) and numerical solution \(Q_{t}\) for (1). And the proofs of them are similar to those of Zhang et al. [21].
Lemma 3.1
Under assumptions (A1)–(A4), for any \(p \geqslant2\), there exists \(C_{1}>0\) such that
Lemma 3.2
Under assumptions (A1)–(A4), for any \(p \geqslant2\), there exists a constant \(C_{2}>0\) such that
The next lemma shows the relationship between \(\mathbb{E}|Q^{n*}_{t}|\) and \(\mathbb{E}|Q^{n}_{t}|\).
Lemma 3.3
Under assumptions (A1)–(A4), let \(\mathbb{E} \vert \frac{\partial Q^{n+1}_{t}}{\partial a} \vert ^{2} < \infty\) and \(0< \Delta<\min \{1,\frac{1}{\theta(l+ \bar{\mu})}, \frac{1}{3\sqrt{2(\bar{\mu}^{2}+l^{2})}} \}\), there exist constants \(C_{3}>0\) and \(C_{4}>0\) such that
Proof
Squaring both sides of (2) and using the elementary inequalities \((a+b+c)^{2} \leqslant3a^{2}+3b^{2}+3c^{2}\) and \(|(1-\theta)x+\theta y|^{2} \leqslant(1-\theta)|x|^{2}+\theta |y|^{2}\), we obtain
By assumptions (A2) and (A3), we get that
Taking mathematical expectation for both sides, we can get
Since \(\Delta< \frac{1}{3\sqrt{2(\bar{\mu}^{2}+l^{2})}}\), thus \(1-6\Delta^{2}(\bar{\mu}^{2}+l^{2})\geqslant\frac{1}{3}\) and \(0< \Delta<1\), we have
where \(C_{3}=9\mathbb{E}|\frac{\partial Q^{n+1}_{t}}{\partial a}|^{2}\), \(C_{4}=9[1+2(\bar{\mu}^{2}+l^{2})]\). □
Lemma 3.4
Under assumptions (A1)–(A4), there exists a constant \(C_{5}>0\) when \(0< \Delta<\min \{1,\frac{1}{\theta(l+ \bar{\mu})}, \frac{1}{3\sqrt {2(\bar{\mu}^{2}+l^{2})}} \}\) such that
where \(\tau_{n} = \inf\{t \geqslant0, |K_{t}|\geqslant n\}\), \(\sigma_{n} = \inf\{t \geqslant0, |Q_{t}|\geqslant n\}\) are the first time that \(K_{t}\) and \(Q_{t}\) are unbounded respectively, and \(\upsilon_{n}=\tau _{n}\wedge\sigma_{n}\).
Proof
In terms of Eq. (7), we can obtain
Applying Itô’s formula to \(|Q_{t\wedge\upsilon_{n}}|^{2}\) yields
where \(\bar{N}(s)=N(s)-\lambda s\) is a compensated Poisson process. By assumptions (A1)–(A3), we have
Since
where \(y \in(0, \int_{0}^{A}Q_{s} \,da)\).
Taking (15)–(18) into (14), we get that
let \(l_{1}=A\eta^{2}\delta^{2}+\mu_{0}+1+\lambda\), \(l_{2}=2\mu _{0}+2l^{2}\), \(l_{3}=2[\mu_{0}+l^{2}(1+\lambda+HT^{2H-1})]\), and \(Z_{1}(s)=Q_{s}\), \(Z_{2}(s)=Q^{*}_{s}\), and taking mathematical expectation for both sides of (19), we obtain
Furthermore, by Lemma 3.3, we can get
By the Burkholder–Davis–Gundy inequality, we have
In the same way, we can get
and
where \(l^{\prime}_{1}, l^{\prime}_{2},l^{\prime}_{3}>0\). Substituting (22)–(24) into (21) and denoting \(l^{\prime}=\max\{ {l^{\prime}_{1}, l^{\prime}_{2}, l^{\prime}_{3}}\}\), we have
where
Now, using the Gronwall lemma, we can easily obtain the following result:
where \(C_{5}=l_{4}e^{l_{5}T}\). For \(\forall t\in[0, T]\), we easily get
This completes the proof. □
Lemma 3.5
Under assumptions (A1)–(A4), let \(0< \Delta<\min \{1, \frac {1}{\theta(l+ \bar{\mu})}, \frac{1}{3\sqrt{2(\bar{\mu}^{2}+l^{2})}} \}\) for any \(t\in[n\Delta, (n+1)\Delta)\subseteq[0, T]\), and for some positive integer n (\(n=0, 1, \ldots\)), there exist constants \(C_{6}>0\), \(C_{7}>0\), which are independent of Δ, such that
Proof
Considering \(t\in[n\Delta, (n+1)\Delta)\subseteq[0, T]\) and according to (7), we have
Squaring both sides of Eq. (28), using the elementary inequality \((\sum_{i=1}^{n}x_{i})^{2} \leqslant n\sum_{i=1}^{n}x^{2}_{i}\), the Cauchy–Schwarz inequality, and (A3), we have
where \(\bar{N}(s)=N(s)-\lambda s\) is a compensated Poisson process. Taking mathematical expectation and by assumptions (A1)–(A4), we have
Since, for all \(t\in[n\Delta, (n+1)\Delta)\), we have \(Z_{1}(t)=Q^{n}_{t}\), \(Z_{2}(t)=Q^{n*}_{t}\), by Lemmas 3.3 and 3.4, we get
where \(C_{6}=5\int_{n\Delta}^{t}|\frac{\partial Q_{s}}{\partial a}|^{2} \,ds+10C_{3}[\Delta(l^{2}+\bar{\mu}^{2})+l^{2}(HT^{2H-1}+\lambda+\lambda ^{2}\Delta)]+10C_{2}[\Delta(l^{2}+\bar{\mu}^{2})+C_{4}(\Delta(l^{2}+\bar {\mu}^{2})+l^{2}(HT^{2H-1}+\lambda+\lambda^{2}\Delta))]\). Thus, we have proved (26), similarly, we can prove (27). □
Remark 3.6
Lemma 3.5 indicates that the continuous-time approximation \(Q_{t}\) in (7) can arbitrarily close to the step functions \(Z_{1}(t)\) and \(Z_{2}(t)\) in the mean square sense when \(\Delta \rightarrow0\).
4 The main results and proofs
In this section, we give the main results of this paper and provide the detailed proofs by using the lemmas in the previous section.
Theorem 4.1
Under assumptions (A1)–(A4), let \(0< \Delta<\min \{1, \frac {1}{\theta(l+ \bar{\mu})}, \frac{1}{3\sqrt{2(\bar{\mu}^{2}+l^{2})}} \}\) for all \(t \in[n\Delta,(n+1)\Delta)\subseteq[0, T]\), there exists a constant \(C_{8}>0\) such that
Proof
The integral version of the first equation in system (1) is given as follows:
Combining (31) and (7), we can get
Applying Itô’s formula to \(|K_{t}-Q_{t}|^{2}\), for \(\forall t \in[0, T]\), yields
Using the Cauchy–Schwarz inequality and (A2)–(A4), we have
Hence, for any \(t \in[0, T]\), we have
By the Burkholder–Davis–Gundy inequality and Lemma 3.5, we get
In the same way, we have
where \(l_{6}, l_{7}, l_{8}>0\). Let \(l^{\prime\prime}=\max\{{l_{6}, l_{7}, l_{8}}\} \), inserting (34)–(36) into (33), we obtain
i.e.,
where \(D_{1}=6[l_{2}C_{6}+(l_{3}+l^{\prime\prime}T^{2H-1}+2l^{\prime\prime}+\frac {1}{6})C_{7}]\), \(D_{2}=3[l_{1}+2(l_{2}+l_{3}+l^{\prime\prime}(T^{2H-1}+2))]\). Using the Gronwall inequality, we have
where \(C_{8}=D_{1}\exp\{D_{2}T\}\). Hence, for \(\forall t \in[0, T]\), we have
This completes the proof. □
Theorem 4.2
Under assumptions (A1)–(A4), let \(0< \Delta<\min \{1, \frac {1}{\theta(l+ \bar{\mu})}, \frac{1}{3\sqrt{2(\bar{\mu}^{2}+l^{2})}} \}\), then there exists a constant \(C_{9}>0\) such that
Proof
Let \(e_{t}=K_{t}-Q_{t}\), we can directly obtain
Applying the Young inequality \(xy \leqslant\frac{1}{p}x^{p}+\frac {1}{q}y^{q}\) (\(\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}=1\), \(p, q>0\)), we have
Obviously,
On the other hand,
and
So,
Substituting (43) and (44) into (42), we get
By Theorem 4.1, (41) can be written
Let \(n \geqslant(24\Delta^{2})^{-\frac{1}{4}}\), we get that
where \(C_{9}=C_{8}+6(C_{1}+C_{2})\). □
Letting \(\Delta\rightarrow0\), yields
which means
Thus, we can obtain the following theorem.
Theorem 4.3
Under assumptions (A1)–(A4), let \(0< \Delta<\min \{1, \frac {1}{\theta(l+ \bar{\mu})}, \frac{1}{3\sqrt{2(\bar{\mu}^{2}+l^{2})}} \}\), then the numerical solution will converge to the analytic solution to system (1) in the mean square sense
Proof
The result of this theorem can be directly got by Theorem 4.2. □
Remark 4.4
5 Numerical experiments
In this section, we present an example to verify our theoretical results. Let us consider the following stochastic age-dependent capital system with Poisson jumps and fBm:
where \(B^{H}(t)\) is a fBm with Hurst parameter \(H=\frac{3}{4}\), and \(N(t)\) is a scalar Poisson process with intensity \(\lambda=1\). Take \(A=1\), \(T=1\) in (48), and \(W=L^{2}([0, 1])\), \(V=H^{1}([0, 1])\) (a Sobolev space with elements satisfying the boundary conditions above), the depreciation rate \(\mu(a, t)=\frac{1}{1-a}\), \(\gamma(t)A(t)=1\), the production function \(F(L(t), N(t))=2\int_{0}^{1} K(a, t) \,da\), the labor force \(L(t)=2\), \(f(t, K)=0\), \(g(t, K)=K\), and \(h(t, K)=-K\).
It is easy to verify that operators f, g, and h satisfy conditions (A1)–(A4). Then the approximate solution will converge to the true solution of Eq. (48) for any \((a, t) \in(0,1)\times (0,1)\) according to Theorem 4.3. Figures 1 and 2 are numerical simulations of the stochastic capital system with Poisson jumps and fractional Brownian motion (fBm) when \(\Delta t=0.001\), \(\Delta a=0.01\), and \(K(a,t)=EQ(a,t)=1/1000\sum_{k=1}^{1000}Q_{k}(a,t)\). It is difficult to obtain the true explicit solution to (48), so the analysis solution \(K(a,t)\) to Eq. (48) can be replaced by \((1+a)(1+0.01\Delta B^{H}_{t}+0.01\Delta N_{t})\).
In Fig. 1, we plot the analysis solution and numerical solution of (48) with \(\theta=0.4,0.6,0.8\) respectively. The analysis solution of Eq. (48) without perturbation is \(EK(a,t)=1-a\), and we can easily find that the numerical approximation will tend to the analysis solution in the mean sense.
In Fig. 2, we show the error square of analysis solution and numerical solution obtained from the SSθ method with \(\theta =0.4,0.6,0.8\) respectively. It is easy to verify that the maximum value of the error square for the SSθ approximation is not greater than 0.01, which is smaller than the error of the EM method [3] and the SSBE method [4].
6 Conclusion
The uncertainty factors in the financial market are usually fluctuating, discontinuous, and recurrent, and these important factors contain technological progress, productivity of new products, natural disasters, changes in laws and government policies, and so on. As we all known, the aforementioned factors have essential effects on the profitability of risky assets. In order to resolve this problem, we introduce a class of stochastic age-dependent capital systems with Poisson jumps and fBm in this paper. Nevertheless, most stochastic age-dependent capital models are nonlinear and cannot be solved explicitly, so appropriate numerical approximation schemes are needed to study the properties of models. In this paper, we have established some new results on the convergence of the split-step θ-method for system (1) and proved that the numerical approximation solutions converge to the analytic solutions of the equations under the given conditions. Meanwhile, the order of approximation is also provided. Finally, an example has effectively demonstrated our theoretical results.
There are still many interesting issues to be studied in future. For example, how to select the value of θ to make the error small? Whether we can apply other new numerical methods to system (1) and obtain similar results? We leave these problems for future investigations.
