Strong convergence of the Euler--Maruyama approximation for a class of Lévy-driven SDEs

Consider the following stochastic differential equation (SDE) $dX_t = b(t,X_{t-}) \, dt+ dL_t, \quad X_0 = x,$ driven by a $d$-dimensional Lévy process $(L_t)_{t \geq 0}$. We establish conditions on the Lévy process and the drift coefficient $b$ such that the Euler--Maruyama approximation converges strongly to a solution of the SDE with an explicitly given rate. The convergence rate depends on the regularity of $b$ and the behaviour of the Lévy measure at the origin. As a by-product of the proof, we obtain that the SDE has a pathwise unique solution. Our result covers many important examples of Lévy processes, e.g. isotropic stable, relativistic stable, tempered stable and layered stable.
