Abstract

In this paper, we construct first- and second-order weak split-step approximations for the solutions of the Wright–Fisher equation. The discretization schemes use the generation of, respectively, two- and three-valued random variables at each discretization step. The accuracy of constructed approximations is illustrated by several simulation examples.
