In this paper we present a result on convergence of approximate solutions of stochastic differential equations involving integrals with respect to α-stable Lévy motion. We prove an appropriate weak limit theorem, which does not follow from known results on stability properties of stochastic differential equations driven by semimartingales. It assures convergence in law in the Skorokhod topology of sequences of approximate solutions and justifies discrete time schemes applied in computer simulations. An example is included in order to demonstrate that stochastic differential equations with jumps are of interest in constructions of models for various problems arising in science and engineering, often providing better description of real life phenomena than their Gaussian counterparts. In order to demonstrate the usefulness of our approach, we present computer simulations of a continuous time α-stable model of cumulative gain in the Duffie-Harrison option pricing framework.

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 science and engineering, often providing a better description of real life phenomena than their Gaussian counterparts.
