Weak convergence of Euler-Maruyama's approximation for SDEs under integrability condition

This work establishes the weak convergence of Euler-Maruyama's approximation for stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with singular drifts under the integrability condition in lieu of the widely used growth condition. This method is based on a skillful application of the dimension-free Harnack inequality. Moreover, when the drifts satisfy certain regularity conditions, the convergence rate is estimated. This method is also applicable when the diffusion coefficients are degenerate. A stochastic damping Hamiltonian system is studied as an illustrative example.
