Popis: The signature is a collection of iterated integrals describing the "shape" of a path. It appears naturally in the Taylor expansions of controlled differential equations and, as a consequence, is arguably the central object within rough path theory. In this paper, we will consider the signature of Brownian motion with time, and present both new and recently developed approximations for some of its integrals. Since these integrals (or equivalent L\'{e}vy areas) are nonlinear functions of the Brownian path, they are not Gaussian and known to be challenging to simulate. To conclude the paper, we will present some applications of these approximations to the high order numerical simulation of stochastic differential equations (SDEs).
