We present a method of numerical approximation for stochastic integrals involving α-stable Lévy motion as an integrator. Constructions of approximate sums are based on the Poissonian series representation of such random measures. The main result gives an estimate of the rate of convergence of finite-dimensional distributions of finite sums approximating such stochastic integrals. Stochastic integrals driven by such measures are of interest in constructions of models for various problems arising...

In the reliability theory, the availability of a component, characterized by non constant failure and repair rates, is obtained, at a given time, thanks to the computation of the marginal distributions of a semi-Markov process. These measures are shown to satisfy classical transport equations, the approximation of which can be done thanks to a finite volume method. Within a uniqueness result for the continuous solution, the convergence of the numerical scheme is then proven in the weak measure sense,...
