Abstract
In this article, rare-event simulation for stochastic recurrence equations of the form
X
n
+1
=
A
n
+1
X
n
+
B
n
+1
,
X
0
=0
is studied, where {
A
n
;
n
≥ 1} and {
B
n
;
n
≥ 1} are independent sequences consisting of independent and identically distributed real-valued random variables. It is assumed that the tail of the distribution of
B
1
is regularly varying, whereas the distribution of
A
1
has a suitably light tail. The problem of efficient estimation, via simulation, of quantities such as
P
{
X
n
>b} and
P
{sup
k
≤
n
X
k
> b} for large
b
and
n
is studied. Importance sampling strategies are investigated that provide unbiased estimators with bounded relative error as
b
and
n
tend to infinity.
