Modern Stochastics: Theory and Applications

We introduce a dynamic cutting approach for the numerical approximation of Lévy-driven stochastic differential equations. The key idea is to remove small jumps according to a time-dependent threshold, so that the retained jumps form a time-inhomogeneous compound Poisson process. We derive ${L^{p}}$-strong convergence rates for the adjusted Euler scheme. Numerical experiments at matched computational cost compare the dynamic cutting scheme with the classical Asmussen–Rosiński truncation and demonstrate consistently smaller strong errors when the time-dependent jump coefficient has a singularity at $t=0$.
