Abstract

Systematic exploration and development of the path integration (PI) method as a numerical tool for the solution of stochastic differential equations (SDE) has been going on for more than a decade. Among the first serious efforts in this direction is the work by Wehner & Wolfer (1983; 1983a; 1987). Later, further developments have been published by Naess & Johnsen (1992; 1993), Yu, Cai & Lin (1996) and Naess & Moe (1997).
