Abstract

In this work, we consider Richardson extrapolation of the Crank-Nicolson (CN) scheme for backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs). First, applying the Adomian decomposition to the nonlinear generator of BSDEs, we introduce a new system of BSDEs. Then we theoretically prove that the solution of the CN scheme for BSDEs admits an asymptotic expansion with its coefficients the solutions of the new system of BSDEs. Based on the expansion, we propose Richardson extrapolation algorithms for solving BSDEs. Finally, some numerical tests are carried out to verify our theoretical conclusions and to show the stability, efficiency and high accuracy of the algorithms.
