Convergence of the tamed Euler scheme for stochastic differential equations with Piecewise Continuous Arguments under non-Lipschitz continuous coefficients

Abstract

Recently, Martin Hutzenthaler pointed out that the explicit Euler method fails to converge strongly to the exact solution of a stochastic differential equation (SDE) with superlinearly growing and globally one sided Lipschitz drift coefficient. Afterwards, he proposed an explicit and easily implementable Euler method, i.e tamed Euler method, for such an SDE and showed that this method converges strongly with order of one half. In this paper, we use the tamed Euler method to solve the stochastic differential equations with piecewise continuous arguments (SEPCAs) with superlinearly growing coefficients and prove that this method is convergent with strong order one half.
