内容提要：
Stochastic differential equations are used as mathematical models for random dynamic phenomena in applications arising from fields such as finance and insurance, to capture continuous and discontinuous uncertainty. For many applications, a stochastic differential equation does not have a closed-form solution and the weak Euler approximation is applied. In such numerical treatment of stochastic differential equations, it is of theoretical and practical importance to estimate the rate of convergence of the discrete time approximation. In this talk, we study the dependence of the rate of convergence on the regularity of the coefficients and driving processes, for diffusion processes as well as SDEs with jumps.
