Ninomiya-Victoir scheme : strong convergence properties and   discretization of the involved Ordinary Differential Equations
  In this paper, we summarize the results about the strong convergence rate of the Ninomiya-Victoir scheme and the stable convergence in law of its normalized error that we obtained in previous papers. We then recall the properties of the multilevel Monte Carlo estimators involving this scheme that we introduced and studied before. Last, we are interested in the error introduced by discretizing the ordinary differential equations involved in the Ninomiya-Victoir scheme. We prove that this error converges with strong order 2 when an explicit Runge-Kutta method with order 4 (resp. 2) is used for the ODEs corresponding to the Brownian (resp. Stratonovich drift) vector fields. We thus relax the order 5 for the Brownian ODEs needed by Ninomiya and Ninomiya (2009) to obtain the same order of strong convergence. Moreover, the properties of our multilevel Monte-Carlo estimators are preserved when these Runge-Kutta methods are used.
