Abstract: We consider the convergence rate of a random non-divergence form difference equation on \(\mathbb{Z}^d\) to its "effective" differential equation on \(\mathbb{R}^d\). We will discuss the optimal convergence rate when the coefficient field has a finite range of dependence. Moreover, when the coefficient field is i.i.d., by exploiting the reflection symmetry of the distribution, we prove strictly faster convergence, improving the generic finite-range rate.
