Abstract

In this paper we propose a new type of θ-scheme with four pa- rameters (fig4 i=1) for solving the backward stochastic differential equation ztdyt = f(t; yt; zt)dt - ztdWt. We rigorously prove some error estimates for the proposed scheme, and in particular, we show that accuracy of the scheme can be high by choosing proper parameters. Various numerical examples are also presented to verify the theoretical results.
