Lawrence Craig Evans (born November 1, 1949) is an American mathematician and Professor of Mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley.. His research is in the field of nonlinear partial differential equations, primarily elliptic equations.
Stochastic differential equations originated in the theory of Brownian motion, in the work of Albert Einstein and Marian Smoluchowski in 1905, although Louis Bachelier was the first person credited with modeling Brownian motion in 1900, giving a very early example of a stochastic differential equation now known as Bachelier model.
In the early 1990s, Davis introduced the deterministic approach to stochastic control by means of appropriate Lagrange multipliers. [8] He was awarded the Naylor Prize by the London Mathematical Society in 2002 for his "contributions to stochastic analysis, stochastic control theory and mathematical finance" and delivered a lecture titled ...
A stochastic process S t is said to follow a GBM if it satisfies the following stochastic differential equation (SDE): = + where is a Wiener process or Brownian motion, and ('the percentage drift') and ('the percentage volatility') are constants.
In mathematics, stochastic analysis on manifolds or stochastic differential geometry is the study of stochastic analysis over smooth manifolds. It is therefore a synthesis of stochastic analysis (the extension of calculus to stochastic processes ) and of differential geometry .

In Itô calculus, the Euler–Maruyama method (also simply called the Euler method) is a method for the approximate numerical solution of a stochastic differential equation (SDE). It is an extension of the Euler method for ordinary differential equations to stochastic differential equations named after Leonhard Euler and Gisiro Maruyama. The ...
Natural exponential of a semimartingale can always be written as a stochastic exponential of another semimartingale but not the other way around. Stochastic exponential of a local martingale is again a local martingale. All the formulae and properties above apply also to stochastic exponential of a complex-valued . This has application in the ...
