TL;DR
The paper addresses Caputo fractional stochastic differential equations with multiscale time structure and non-Lipschitz drift, proving existence and uniqueness and establishing a mean-square homogenization principle via temporal averaging of fast-time coefficients. It introduces averaged coefficients $\overline f$ and $\overline g$, proves convergence of the original solution to a homogenized solution as $\epsilon\to0$, and provides an Euler–Maruyama scheme with detailed error bounds for both the original and homogenized systems. Numerical experiments verify the theory and showcase computational advantages of solving the homogenized autonomous system, especially when scale separation is strong. The results enhance tractability of long-time, multiscale fractional systems and offer a framework for efficient numerical methods, with planned extensions to stochastic partial differential equations.
Abstract
This work is concerned with fractional stochastic differential equations with different scales. We establish the existence and uniqueness of solutions for Caputo fractional stochastic differential systems under the non-Lipschitz condition. Based on the idea of temporal homogenization, we prove that the homogenization principle (averaging principle) holds in the sense of mean square ($L^2$ norm) convergence under a novel homogenization assumption. Furthermore, an Euler-Maruyama scheme for the non-autonomous system is constructed and its numerical error is analyzed. Finally, two numerical examples are presented to verify the theoretical results. Different from the existing literature, we demonstrate the computational advantages of the homogenized autonomous system from a numerical perspective.
