On the rate of convergence for monotone numerical schemes for nonlocal Isaacs' equations

Abstract

We study monotone numerical schemes for nonlocal Isaacs equations, the dynamic programming equations of stochastic differential games with jump-diffusion state processes. These equations are fully-nonlinear non-convex equations of order less than $2$. In this paper they are also allowed to be degenerate and have non-smooth solutions. The main contribution is a series of new a priori error estimates: The first results for nonlocal Isaacs equations, the first general results for degenerate non-convex equations of order greater than $1$, and the first results in the viscosity solution setting giving the precise dependence on the fractional order of the equation. We also observe a new phenomena, that the rates differ when the nonlocal diffusion coefficient depend on $x$ and $t$, only on $x$, or on neither.
