Two-Stage Stochastic Runge-Kutta Methods for Stochastic Differential Equations

In this paper we discuss two-stage diagonally implicit stochastic Runge-Kutta methods with strong order 1.0 for strong solutions of Stratonovich stochastic differential equations. Five stochastic Runge-Kutta methods are presented in this paper. They are an explicit method with a large MS-stability region, a semi-implicit method with minimum principal error coefficients, a semi-implicit method with a large MS-stability region, an implicit method with minimum principal error coefficients and another implicit method. We also consider composite stochastic Runge-Kutta methods which are the combination of semi-implicit Runge-Kutta methods and implicit Runge-Kutta methods. Two composite methods are presented in this paper. Numerical results are reported to compare the convergence properties and stability properties of these stochastic Runge-Kutta methods.
