  • Abstract

In this work we introduce a new unconditionally convergent explicit Tree-Grid Method for solving stochastic control problems with one space and one time dimension or equivalently, the corresponding Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation. We prove the convergence of the method and outline the relationships to other numerical methods. The case of vanishing diffusion is treated by introducing an artificial diffusion term. We illustrate the superiority of our method to the standardly used implicit finite difference method on two numerical examples from finance.
