Abstract

Mathematics Physical Sciences Science & Technology Statistics & Probability
We present the first exact simulation method for multidimensional reflected Brownian motion (RBM). Exact simulation in this setting is challenging because of the presence of correlated local-time-like terms in the definition of RBM. We apply recently developed so-called epsilon-strong simulation techniques (also known as tolerance-enforced simulation) which allowus to provide a piecewise linear approximation toRBMwith epsilon (deterministic) error in uniform norm. A novel conditional acceptance-rejection step is then used to eliminate the error. In particular, we condition on a suitably designed information structure so that a feasible proposal distribution can be applied.
