The Finance command was introduced in Maple 15.įor more information on Maple 15 changes, see Updates in Maple 15. Upper Saddle River, New Jersey: Prentice Hall, 2003.

This scheme is appropriate in the case of a time-dependent drift and/or volatility.įirst consider the case of a one-dimensional Brownian motion with constant drift and volatility.

When scheme is set to unbiased the transition density will be used to simulate a value X t + dt given X t. By default the standard Euler scheme is used. The scheme option specifies the discretization scheme used for simulation of this process. The drift parameter Mu must be given as a Vector and the covariance matrix Sigma must be a given as a symmetric matrix (see Matrix ). In this case the drift vector and the covariance matrix are time-independent. W t is the standard m -dimensional Wiener process. The BrownianMotion( X 0, Mu, Sigma) defines an n -dimensional Brownian motion with drift Mu and covariance Sigma. Note that stochastic drift is not supported. In addition to this, the volatility can involve other (one-dimensional) stochastic variables. Similar to the drift, the volatility parameter can be constant or time dependent. Maple procedure defining a time-dependent drift must accept one parameter (the time) and return the corresponding value for the drift. If mu is given as an algebraic expression, then the parameter t must be passed to specify which variable in mu should be used as a time variable. Time-dependent drift can be given either as an algebraic expression or as a Maple procedure. In the simplest case of a constant drift, mu is a real number (i.e. The parameter x 0 defines the initial value of the underlying stochastic process. This is a stochastic process X t, which is governed by the stochastic differential equation (SDE) The BrownianMotion( x 0, mu, sigma) and BrownianMotion( x 0, mu, sigma, t) commands create a new one-dimensional Brownian motion process.
