Asymptotic Expansion and Weak Approximation

JSS Research Series in Statistics2025-10-03Book Chapter
Executive summary

Akihiko Takahashi and Toshihiro Yamada present a new framework combining advanced mathematical methods like asymptotic expansion, weak approximation, Malliavin calculus, and deep learning. Their approach links Watanabe’s asymptotic expansion with high-order weak approximation for stochastic differential equations (SDEs), improving accuracy for complex models. The integration of neural networks enables solutions for high-dimensional, nonlinear problems. The chapter offers clear explanations and practical numerical recipes, though more real-world examples would strengthen its impact.

What it examines

This book explores advanced methods for approximating solutions to complex mathematical problems, focusing on asymptotic expansion, weak approximation of stochastic differential equations, and deep learning. It aims to connect traditional mathematical techniques with modern machine learning to solve high-dimensional, nonlinear problems in statistics and finance.

What it concludes

The research shows that combining asymptotic expansion and deep learning enables efficient solutions for high-dimensional, nonlinear models, especially in finance and scientific computing. These methods can be applied to numerical analysis, machine learning, and stochastic modeling, with future work suggested in expanding applications and improving computational techniques.
