The Euler-Maruyama method for invariant measures of McKean-Vlasov stochastic differential equations

Abstract

This paper investigates the approximation of invariant measures for McKean-Vlasov stochastic differential equations (SDEs) using the Euler-Maruyama (EM) scheme under a monotonicity condition. Firstly, the convergence of the numerical solution from the EM scheme to its continuous-time counterpart is established. Secondly, we show that the numerical solution admits a unique invariant measure and derive its convergence rate under the Wasserstein metric. In parallel, it is demonstrated that the associated particle system also possesses these properties.
