Uniform strong and weak error estimates for numerical schemes applied to multiscale SDEs in a Smoluchowski-Kramers diffusion approximation regime

We study a family of numerical schemes applied to a class of multiscale systems of stochastic differential equations. When the time scale separation parameter vanishes, a well-known Smoluchowski--Kramers diffusion approximation result states that the slow component of the considered system converges to the solution of a standard Itô stochastic differential equation. We propose and analyse schemes for strong and weak effective approximation of the slow component. Such schemes satisfy an asymptotic preserving property and generalize the methods proposed in a recent article. We fill a gap in the analysis of these schemes and prove strong and weak error estimates, which are uniform with respect to the time scale separation parameter.
