Abstract
In this article, we derive the exact rate of convergence of some approximation schemes associated to scalar stochastic differential equations driven by a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst index H. We consider two cases. If H>1/2, the exact rate of convergence of the Euler scheme is determined. We show that the error of the Euler scheme converges almost surely to a random variable, which in particular depends on the Malliavin derivative of the solution. This result extends those contained in J. Complex. 22(4), 459–474, 2006 and C.R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 340(8), 611–614, 2005. When 1/6<H<1/2, the exact rate of convergence of the Crank-Nicholson scheme is determined for a particular equation. Here we show convergence in law of the error to a random variable, which depends on the solution of the equation and an independent Gaussian random variable.
