$ε$-Strong Simulation for Multidimensional Stochastic Differential Equations via Rough Path Analysis

Consider a multidimensional diffusion process $X=\{X\left(t\right) :t\in\lbrack0,1]\}$. Let $\varepsilon>0$ be a \textit{deterministic}, user defined, tolerance error parameter. Under standard regularity conditions on the drift and diffusion coefficients of $X$, we construct a probability space, supporting both $X$ and an explicit, piecewise constant, fully simulatable process $X_{\varepsilon}$ such that $\sup_{0\leq t\leq1}\left\Vert X_{\varepsilon}\left(t\right) -X\left(t\right) \right\Vert_{\infty}<\varepsilon$ with probability one. Moreover, the user can adaptively choose $\varepsilon^{\prime}\in\left(0,\varepsilon\right)$ so that $X_{\varepsilon^{\prime}}$ (also piecewise constant and fully simulatable) can be constructed conditional on $X_{\varepsilon}$ to ensure an error smaller than $\varepsilon^{\prime}>0$ with probability one. Our construction requires a detailed study of continuity estimates of the Ito map using Lyon's theory of rough paths. We approximate the underlying Brownian motion, jointly with the Lévy areas with a deterministic $\varepsilon$ error in the underlying rough path metric.
