Abstract

This paper proposes a method that allows the construction of discrete-state Markov chains approximating an Ito-diffusion process. The transition probabilities of the Markov chains are chosen in such a way that functionals converge with a desired weak order with respect to vanishing step size under sufficient smoothness assumptions.
