Abstract: Assume a L'evy process X on the time interval [0,1] that is an L2-martingale and let Y be either its stochastic exponential or X itself. We consider Riemann-approximations of certain stochastic integrals driven by Y and relate the L2-approximation rates to the Malliavin fractional smoothness of the integral to be approximated. The Malliavin fractional smoothness is described by Besov spaces generated with the real interpolation method.


The authors consider a Lévy process \(X = (X_t)_{t \in [0, 1]}\) that is an \(L^2\)-martingale and \(Y\) as the stochastic exponent of \(X\) or \(X\) itself. For certain integrands \(\varphi = (\varphi_t)_{t \in [0, 1]}\), the authors investigate the behaviour of \( \left\|\int_{(0, 1]} \varphi_t \, dX_t - \sum_{k=1}^N v_{k-1} \, (Y_{t_k} - Y_{t_{k-1}}) \right\|_{L^2}, \) where \(v_{k-1}\) is an \({\mathcal F}_{t_{k-1}}\)-measurable random variable, in dependence on the fractional smoothness in the Malliavin sense of \(\int_{(0, 1]} \varphi_t dX_t\). Such techniques appear when the stochastic integral is obtained by the Galtchouk-Kunita-Watanabe decomposition of a random variable \(f(X_1)\). Using the example \(f(X_1) = I(K < X_1 < \infty)\), it is shown how fractional smoothness depends on the distribution of the Lévy processes.
