Abstract

The state equations of stochastic control problems, which are controlled stochastic differential equations, are proposed to be discretized by the weak midpoint rule and predictor-corrector methods for the Markov chain approximation approach. Local consistency of the methods are proved. Numerical tests on a simplified Merton's portfolio model show better simulation to feedback control rules by these two methods, as compared with the weak Euler-Maruyama discretisation used by Krawczyk. This suggests a new approach of improving accuracy of approximating Markov chains for stochastic control problems.
