Many fractional processes can be represented as an integral over a family of Ornstein–Uhlenbeck processes. This representation naturally lends itself to numerical discretizations, which are shown in this paper to have strong convergence rates of arbitrarily high polynomial order. This explains the potential, but also some limitations of such representations as the basis of Monte Carlo schemes for fractional volatility models such as the rough Bergomi model.

Keywords: Fractional processes, Markovian representation, Monte Carlo simulation, numerical discretization, strong convergence rates, rough Bergomi model.

Figure 1.  Volterra Brownian motion of Hurst index $ H\in(0,1/2) $ can be represented as an integral $ W^H_t = \int_0^\infty Y_t(x) x^{-1/2-H}dx $ over a Gaussian random field $ Y_t(x) $. The smoothness of the random field in the spatial dimension $ x $ allows one to approximate this integral efficiently using high order quadrature rules
