1. Introduction
Stochastic pantograph models are much more substantial, and they have been harnessed to describe dynamical behaviours with haphazard manners. They are used in many majors such as finance and quantum mechanics [1,2]. Also, the Weiner process is not always the optimal direction for modelling dynamical cases that have sudden changes and bizarre events. In these scenarios, jump models are much more convenient for handling these situations [3,4]. Merton [5] updated the Black–Scholes model [6] by augmenting the Poisson process. In this paper, we want to take into account history data [7,8,9] and also try to apply a more generic and wide jump process, such as a Lévy process [10]. Therefore, we shine light on the stochastic pantograph model with Lévy jumps. Stochastic pantograph models with Lévy jumps can be applied in real-life applications such as financial markets, where the partially truncated split-step theta method can be applied for capturing stock price behaviour, allowing for better pricing and risk management in financial markets. Furthermore, in some financial situations we need to approximate the variance or the higher moment of the solution. In these cases, we need to have the convergence in sense. Also, stochastic pantograph models can be employed to study the spread of infectious diseases and to analyse the effectiveness of control strategies, where the applicability of the proposed scheme can be utilized to simulate an epidemic’s progression accurately, capturing the impact of delays and sudden changes in the infection rate, and aiding in designing effective intervention strategies.
Also, it is not always an easy task to figure out the exact solution of stochastic models. Therefore, numerical schemes [11,12,13] are indispensable. Mao [14] addressed the truncated Euler–Maruyama algorithm and studied its convergence rate and stability. In recent years, great attention has been paid to split-step theta methods because of their abilities to possess desirable stability characteristics and rates of convergence [15,16,17,18,19,20,21]. Higham et al. [22] introduced the implicit split-step variant of the Euler–Maruyama technique for stochastic models, where the drift and diffusion coefficients satisfy the one-sided Lipschitz and the global Lipschitz conditions, respectively. Wang and Liu [23] discussed the split-step backward balanced Milstein techniques for stiff Itô stochastic models. Moreover, these attempts were further updated and evolved by Wang and Li [24], who introduced the fully explicit split-step forward techniques for solving Itô stochastic models under the global Lipschitz and linear growth conditions. According to some authors [25,26,27], the split-step theta scheme has the ability of attaining the stability of a system with a free choice of the step size. Furthermore, inclusion of the Euler–Maruyama scheme and split-step backward Euler scheme inside it by adjusting the value of theta to or , respectively, can also be considered as an advantage. The split-step backward Euler technique applied to linear stochastic delay models was investigated by Zhang et al. [28]. Cao et al. [29] applied the split-step theta scheme to stochastic delay models and showed that the numerical scheme has an order of convergence of half, and an exponential mean square stability. Bao and Hu [30] focused their research on stochastic variable delay models; they applied the split-step theta scheme to the model and studied its convergence and mean square stability. Wang et al. [23] showed the drifting split-step backward Milstein technique. The split-step Adams–Moulton Milstein technique was discussed by Voss et al. [31]. A multi-step Maruyama technique for stochastic delay models was discussed by Bauckwar et al. [32]. Lu et al. [33] applied a split-step composite theta method to stochastic delay models and studied the convergence and stability of them. The stability of a split-step composite theta technique for stochastic models with non-variable delay was discussed in [34].
To the best of our knowledge, there are not many studies on split-step theta schemes applied to stochastic models that take into consideration history data and are interspersed with the Lévy process where coefficients act super linearly. In this paper, following the approach of the partially truncated technique [35], we address the partially truncated split-step theta algorithm and apply it to our aforementioned model, where coefficients could exceed linearity. Then, we study the convergence rate in and the almost sure polynomial stability of the proposed scheme.
The set up of the upcoming parts will be as follows. The model structure, the partially truncated SS-method, and its properties will be presented in Section 2. Section 3 addresses the convergence rate. The almost sure polynomial stability of the numerical algorithm will be depicted in Section 4. Section 5 will present some examples. Finally, we will wrap up Section 6 with some conclusions.

Therefore, we can select and , such that with these selected functions and , the partially truncated split-step theta (PTSS) method (8) can be applied to obtain the numerical solution of Equation (64). Because it is difficult to obtain the analytical solution of Equation (64), it is needed to solve Equation (64) by using the partially truncated split-step theta (PTSS) method with a sufficiently small step size and to identify its output as the exact solution for the error comparison. The mean square errors of the partially truncated split-step theta (PTSS) method are calculated at the final time with , , and 1. Figure 1 depicts the plot of the mean square errors against on a log–log scale and, as a reference, a dashed line of slope is added. The convergence rate is approximately one half. Furthermore, the numerical approximations (60), (61), and (63) have been applied to Equation (64), and the mean square errors of these approximations at the final time have been calculated and listed in Table 1, where the exact solutions are taken as the corresponding numerical schemes with small step sizes . From Table 1, it can be seen that the partially truncated split-step theta (PTSS) method with , , and has a higher accuracy and less mean square error than the other schemes. Also, when the step size decreases, the mean square error decreases and the value of the mean square error changes with different selections of .

6. Conclusions
In this paper, the stochastic pantograph model with Lévy jumps is presented and the partially truncated split-step theta method is applied to it. The finite time convergence rate was obtained, under both drift and diffusion coefficients, satisfying the super-linear growth condition while the jump coefficient grows linearly, and it was close to half. By setting theta equal to zero, the proposed scheme can be viewed as the partially truncated Euler–Maruyama method, which indicates that our results are more general. By utilizing the discrete semi-martingale convergence theorem, the numerical scheme reproduced the almost sure polynomial stability of the exact solution. The conditions imposed on the numerical scheme to reproduce the almost sure polynomial stability were sufficient, but not necessary. Therefore, our future work will focus on finding out the sufficient and necessary conditions. Other interesting topics would be to study the convergence rate with all coefficients growing super-linearly and trying to improve the convergence order of the proposed scheme.
