Abstract
We develop in this work a numerical method for stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with weak second-order accuracy based on Gaussian mixture. Unlike conventional higher order schemes for SDEs based on Itô–Taylor expansion and iterated Itô integrals, the scheme we propose approximates the probability measure $\mu (X^{n+1} \vert X^n = x_n)$ using a mixture of Gaussians. The solution at the next time step $X^{n+1}$ is drawn from the Gaussian mixture with complexity linear in dimension $d$. This provides a new strategy to construct efficient high weak order numerical schemes for SDEs.
