Abstract

For a class of stochastic models with Gaussian and rough mean-reverting volatility that embeds the genuine rough Stein-Stein model, we study the weak approximation rate when using a Euler type scheme with integrated kernels. Our first result is a weak convergence rate for the discretised rough Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, that is essentially in min(3α1,1)\min(3\alpha-1,1), where tα1Γ(α)\frac{t^{\alpha-1}}{\Gamma(\alpha)} is the fractional convolution kernel with α(1/2,1)\alpha \in (1/2,1). Then, our main result is to obtain the same convergence rate for the corresponding stochastic rough volatility model with polynomial test functions.
