Three-stage stochastic Runge–Kutta methods for stochastic differential equations

AbstractIn this paper we discuss three-stage stochastic Runge–Kutta (SRK) methods with strong order 1.0 for a strong solution of Stratonovich stochastic differential equations (SDEs). Higher deterministic order is considered. Two methods, a three-stage explicit (E3) method and a three-stage semi-implicit (SI3) method, are constructed in this paper. The stability properties and numerical results show the effectiveness of these methods in the pathwise approximation of several standard test problems
