Conjecture on the convergence rate of discretized Pickands constants

From papers

Let Hα(T)\mathcal H_\alpha(T) be the finite-horizon Pickands constant, let Hαη(T)\mathcal H^\eta_\alpha(T) be its discretized approximation with mesh size η\eta, and let Hα\mathcal H_\alpha and Hαη\mathcal H^\eta_\alpha denote their corresponding infinite-horizon quantities. For fixed T>0T>0,

Convergence-rate conjecture.

limη0ηα/2[Hα(T)Hαη(T)](0,).\lim_{\eta\downarrow0} \eta^{-\alpha/2}[\mathcal{H}_\alpha(T) - \mathcal{H}^\eta_\alpha(T)] \in(0,\infty).

We also have

limη0ηα/2[HαHαη](0,).\lim_{\eta\downarrow0} \eta^{-\alpha/2} [\mathcal{H}_\alpha - \mathcal{H}^\eta_\alpha] \in(0,\infty).

The conjecture gives the rate at which the discretized constants converge to the continuous ones and is explicitly stated to be outside the scope of the paper's proof; it motivates the regression-based numerical approach.
