All Implemented Interfaces:
Process

public class LinearInterpolatedTimeDiscreteProcess extends Object implements Process
A linear interpolated time discrete process, that is, given a collection of tuples (Double, RandomVariable) representing realizations \( X(t_{i}) \) this class implements the Process and creates a stochastic process \( t \mapsto X(t) \) where \[ X(t) = \frac{t_{i+1} - t}{t_{i+1}-t_{i}} X(t_{i}) + \frac{t - t_{i}}{t_{i+1}-t_{i}} X(t_{i+1}) \] with \( t_{i} \leq t \leq t_{i+1} \). Note: this is the interpolation scheme used in the convergence of the Euler-Maruyama scheme.

  • Constructor Details

    • LinearInterpolatedTimeDiscreteProcess

      public LinearInterpolatedTimeDiscreteProcess(Map<Double,RandomVariable> realizations)
      Create a time discrete process by linear interpolation of random variables.
      Parameters:
      realizations - Given map from time to random variable. The map must not be modified.
  • Method Details

    • add

      Create a new linear interpolated time discrete process by using the time discretization of this process and the sum of this process and the given one as its values.
      Parameters:
      process - A given process.
      Returns:
      A new process representing the of this and the given process.
      Throws:
      CalculationException - Thrown if the given process fails to evaluate at a certain time point.
    • apply

      Create a new process consisting of the interpolation of the random variables obtained by applying the given function to this process discrete set of random variables. That is \( t \mapsto Y(t) \) where \[ Y(t) = \frac{t_{i+1} - t}{t_{i+1}-t_{i}} f(X(t_{i})) + \frac{t - t_{i}}{t_{i+1}-t_{i}} f(X(t_{i+1})) \] with \( t_{i} \leq t \leq t_{i+1} \) and a given function \( f \).
      Parameters:
      function - The function \( f \), a univariate function.
      Returns:
      A new process consisting of the interpolation of the random variables obtained by applying the given function to this process discrete set of random variables.
