Approximations for adapted M-solutions of type-II backward stochastic Volterra integral equations

In this paper, we study a class of Type-II backward stochastic Volterra integral equations (BSVIEs). For the adapted M-solutions, we obtain two approximation results, namely, a BSDE approximation and a numerical approximation. The BSDE approximation means that the solution of a finite system of backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) converges to the adapted M-solution of the original equation. As a consequence of the BSDE approximation, we obtain an estimate for the L2-time regularity of the adapted M-solutions of Type-II BSVIEs. For the numerical approximation, we provide a backward Euler-Maruyama scheme, and show that the scheme converges in the strong L2-sense with the convergence speed of order 1/2. These results hold true without any differentiability conditions for the coefficients.
