Approximating a geometric fractional Brownian motion and related processes via discrete Wick calculus

Abstract

We approximate the solution of some linear systems of SDEs driven by a fractional Brownian motion BHB^H with Hurst parameter H(12,1)H\in(\frac{1}{2},1) in the Wick--It\^{o} sense, including a geometric fractional Brownian motion. To this end, we apply a Donsker-type approximation of the fractional Brownian motion by disturbed binary random walks due to Sottinen. Moreover, we replace the rather complicated Wick products by their discrete counterpart, acting on the binary variables, in the corresponding systems of Wick difference equations. As the solutions of the SDEs admit series representations in terms of Wick powers, a key to the proof of our Euler scheme is an approximation of the Hermite recursion formula for the Wick powers of BHB^H.
