Abstract We derive an algorithm for solving the initial value problem for u t = ½σ 2 u xx + f ( u ) u x . The approach is based on the representation of the solution to the above equation in the form of the functional of Brownian motion. For small σ we get the approximation for u t = f ( u ) u x . A comparison with the random choice method is illustrated by the numerical example.
