Abstract

Consider the following stochastic differential equation (SDE) dXt=b(t,Xt)dt+dLt,X0=x,dX_t = b(t,X_{t-}) \, dt+ dL_t, \quad X_0 = x, driven by a dd-dimensional L\'evy process (Lt)t0(L_t)_{t \geq 0}. We establish conditions on the L\'evy process and the drift coefficient bb such that the Euler--Maruyama approximation converges strongly to a solution of the SDE with an explicitly given rate. The convergence rate depends on the regularity of bb and the behaviour of the L\'evy measure at the origin. As a by-product of the proof, we obtain that the SDE has a pathwise unique solution. Our result covers many important examples of L\'evy processes, e.g. isotropic stable, relativistic stable, tempered stable and layered stable.
