Abstract: We consider the convergence of a continuous-time Markov chain approximation X^h, h>0, to an R^d-valued Levy process X. The state space of X^h is an equidistant lattice and its Q-matrix is chosen to approximate the generator of X. In dimension one (d=1), and then under a general sufficient condition for the existence of transition densities of X, we establish sharp convergence rates of the normalised probability mass function of X^h to the probability density function of X. In higher dimensions (d>1), rates of convergence are obtained under a technical condition, which is satisfied when the diffusion matrix is non-degenerate.
