A general weak and strong error analysis of the recursive quantization with an application to jump diffusions

Abstract

Observing that the recent developments of the recursive (product) quantization method induces a family of Markov chains which includes all standard discretization schemes of diffusions processes , we propose to compute a general error bound induced by the recursive quantization schemes using this generic markovian structure. Furthermore, we compute a marginal weak error for the recursive quantization. We also extend the recursive quantization method to the Euler scheme associated to diffusion processes with jumps, which still have this markovian structure, and we say how to compute the recursive quantization and the associated weights and transition weights.
