Abstract

An efficient binary technique is presented for determining, to prescribed accuracy, the location of the zeros of a stochastic functionB(x) that is a classical one-dimension Brownian motion.

Zusammenfassung

Zur Bestimmung der Lage der Nullstellen einer stochastischen FunktionB(x), die eine klassische eindimensionale Brownsche Bewegung mit vorgeschriebener Genauigkeit darstellt, wird eine effiziente binäre Technik vorgeschlagen.
