Penalty Method for Obliquely Reflected Diffusions

Abstract

Take a multidimensional normally or obliquely reflected diffusion in a smooth domain. Approximate it by solutions of stochastic differential equations without reflection using the penalty method. That is, we approximate the reflection term with an additional drift term. In the existing literature, usually a specific approximating sequence is provided in order to prove existence of a reflected diffusion. In this article, we provide general sufficient conditions on the approximating coefficients.
