Variable Step Size Adams Methods for BSDEs

For backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs), we construct variable step size Adams methods by means of Ito-Taylor expansion, and these schemes are nonlinear multistep schemes. It is deduced that the conditions of local truncation errors with respect to Y and Z reach high order. The coefficients in the numerical methods are inferred and bounded under appropriate conditions. A necessary and sufficient condition is given to judge the stability of our numerical schemes. Moreover, the high-order convergence of the schemes is rigorously proved. The numerical illustrations are provided.
