Stochastic numerics for mathematical physics : with ... 28 tables Stochastic differential equations are not only interesting in themselves but also for their applications in the natural sciences. They also are seen as a way to reduce complex multi dimensional partial differential equations to the Cauchy problem of (essentially one dimensional) stochastic differential equations. This approach leads to powerful computational mathematics that are presented in this treatise. The authors construct many new special schemes some published here for the first time. In the second part of the book the authors construct stochastic numerical algorithms for solving complicated problems for partial differential equations occurring in practical applications both linear and non linear. All the methods are presented with proofs and hence founded on rigorous reasoning thus giving the book textbook potential.
