The Fokker-Planck equation corresponds to the Itô diffusion
absorbed at and reflected at .
For , an Euler--Maruyama proposal is
If , kill the path. If and , an endpoint-only test can miss a crossing. Conditional on the endpoints, the local Brownian bridge crossing probability is
Kill the path with this probability; otherwise impose reflection at by replacing an overshoot with and set . Repeated reflection handles very rare multiple overshoots, and the approximation converges as .
