Diffusion approximation of recurrent schemes for financial markets, with application to the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process

We adapt the general conditions of the weak convergence for the sequence of processes with discrete time to the diffusion process towards the weak convergence for the discrete-time models of a financial market to the continuous-time diffusion model. These results generalize a classical scheme of the weak convergence for discrete-time markets to the Black-Scholes model. We give an explicit and direct method of approximation by a recurrent scheme. As an example, an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process is considered as a limit model.
