On a SDE with no polynomial convergence rate for strong approximation at the final time

We consider the problem of strong approximation of the solution of a stochastic differential equation (SDE) at the final time based on point evaluations of the driving Brownian motion at a uniform grid. We present an example of a SDE with smooth and bounded coefficients for which no sequence of such approximations can achieve a polynomial rate of convergence. This generalizes a result from [1], which only covers the Euler scheme.
