Abstract

A method for the numerical solution of stochastic differential equations is presented. The method has mean-square order equal to 1/2 when it is applied to a general stochastic differential equation and equal to 1 if the equation has additive noise. In addition, it is shown that the method captures some long-time properties of a linear stochastic oscillator: It reproduces exactly the growth rate of the second moment and the oscillation property of the solution.
