Abstract

This article develops a class of Monte Carlo (MC) methods for simulating conditioned
diffusion sample paths, with special emphasis on importance sampling
schemes. We restrict attention to a particular type of conditioned diffusions,
the so-called diffusion bridge processes. The diffusion bridge is the process obtained
by conditioning a diffusion to start and finish at specific values at two
consecutive times t0 < t1.
