Inspired by the article Weak Convergence Rate of a Time-Discrete Scheme for the Heston Stochastic Volatility Model, Chao Zheng, SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis 2017, 55:3, 1243–1263, we studied the weak error of discretization schemes for the Heston model, which are based on exact simulation of the underlying volatility process. Both for an Euler- and a trapezoidal-type scheme for the log-asset price, we established weak order one for smooth payoffs without any assumptions on the Feller index of the volatility process. In our analysis, we also observed the usual trade off between the smoothness assumption on the payoff and the restriction on the Feller index. Moreover, we provided error expansions, which could be used to construct second order schemes via extrapolation. In this paper, we illustrate our theoretical findings by several numerical examples.

We prove strong and weak convergence theorems for a new resolvent of maximal monotone operators in a Banach space and give an estimate of the convergence rate of the algorithm. Finally, we apply our convergence theorem to the convex minimization problem. The result present in this paper extend and improve the corresponding result of Ibaraki and Takahashi (2007), and Kim and Xu (2005).

We present several results refining and extending those of Neuts and Alfa on weak convergence of the pair-formation process when arrivals follow two independent Poisson processes. Our results are obtained using a different, more straightforward, and apparently simpler probabilistic approach. Firstly, we give a very short proof of the fact that the convergence of the pair-formation process to a Poisson process actually holds in total variation (with a bound for convergence rate). Secondly, we extend the result of the theorem to the case of multiple labels: there are d independent arrival Poisson processes, and we are looking at the epochs when d-tuples are formed. Thirdly, we extend the original (weak convergence) result to the case when arrivals follow independent renewal processes (this extension is also valid for the d-tuple formation).

Assume that we want to estimate – σ, the abscissa of convergence of the Laplace transform. We show that no non-parametric estimator of σ can converge at a faster rate than (log n)–1, where n is the sample size. An optimal convergence rate is achieved by an estimator of the form where xn = O(log n) and is the mean of the sample values overshooting xn. Under further parametric restrictions this (log n)–1 phenomenon is also illustrated by a weak convergence result.
