Convergence implications via dual flow method. (English) Zbl 1423.60087
Summary: Given a one-dimensional stochastic differential equation, one can associate to this equation a stochastic flow on $$[0,+\infty)$$, which has an absorbing barrier at zero. Then one can define its dual stochastic flow. J. Akahori and S. Watanabe [“On the strong solutions of stochastic differential equations” (Japanese), Soc. Syst. Stud. 4, 1–12 (2002)] showed that its one-point motion solves a corresponding stochastic differential equation of Skorokhod-type. In this paper, we consider a discrete-time stochastic-flow which approximates the original stochastic flow. We show that under some assumptions, one-point motions of its dual flow also approximates the corresponding reflecting diffusion. We prove and use relations between a stochastic flow and its dual in order to obtain weak and strong approximation results related to stochastic differential equations of Skorokhod-type.
