Newton's method for stochastic differential equations and its probabilistic second-order error estimate

Kazuo Amano

Abstract:
Kawabata and Yamada [5] proposed an implicit Newton's method for nonlinear stochastic differential equations and proved its convergence. Later Amano [2] gave an explicit formulation of method and showed its direct error estimate. In this article, we prove a probabilistic second-order error estimate which has been an open problem since 1991.
