Abstract
This paper considers a method of the calculation of probability of the exit from a band of the solution of a stochastic differential equation. The method is based on the approximation of the solution of the considered equation by a process which is received as a concatenation of Gauss processes, random partition of the interval, Girsanov transform and Wiener-Hopf factorization, and the Monte-Carlo method. The errors of approximation are estimated. The proposed method is illustrated by numerical examples.

Summary
The paper is dedicated to the calculation of probability of the exit from a band. This problem is very important in applications of the theory of stochastic processes, such as financial mathematics (barrier options), communication lines (signals), and so on. We consider a method of the calculation of probability of the exit from a band of the solution of a stochastic differential equation dXt = f (Xt )dt + φ(Xt )dWt with an initial condition X0 , where W is a standard Wiener process. An approximation based on the Brownian bridges was used for calculation of the prices of barrier options [8,9] We think it impossible to use Brownian bridges for the calculation of the probability of the exit of a stochastic process from a band. An integral approach to the sustainable management based on the notion of homeostasis is presented in [15] In this connection notice that the probability of the exit from a band gives a stochastic characteristic of the possible violation of the homeostasis.
