Title: Phase transition in the EM scheme of an SDE driven by $α$-stable noises with $α\in (0,2]$

Abstract: We study in this paper the EM scheme for a family of well-posed critical SDEs with the drift $-x\log(1+|x|)$ and $\alpha$-stable noises. Specifically, we find that when the SDE is driven by a rotationally symmetric $\alpha$-stable processes with $\alpha=2$ (i.e. Brownian motion), the EM scheme is bounded in the $L^2$ sense uniformly w.r.t. the time. In contrast, if the SDE is driven by a rotationally symmetric $\alpha$-stable process with $\alpha \in (0,2)$, all the $\beta$-th moments, with $\beta \in (0,\alpha)$, of the EM scheme blow up. This demonstrates a phase transition phenomenon as $\alpha \uparrow 2$. We verify our results by simulations.
