Lower error bounds and optimality of approximation for jump-diffusion SDEs with discontinuous drift

In this note we prove sharp lower error bounds for numerical methods for jump-diffusion stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with discontinuous drift. We study the approximation of jump-diffusion SDEs with non-adaptive as well as jump-adapted approximation schemes and provide lower error bounds of order $3\mathrm{/}4$ for both classes of approximation schemes. This yields optimality of the transformation-based jump-adapted quasi-Milstein scheme.
