The Euler scheme with irregular coefficients

Weak convergence of the Euler scheme for stochastic differential equations is established when coefficients are discontinuous on a set of Lebesgue measure zero. The rate of convergence is presented when coefficients are Holder continuous. Monte Carlo simulations are also discussed.
