Conservative methods for stochastic differential equations with a conserved quantity

Abstract

This paper proposes a novel conservative method for numerical computation of general stochastic differential equations in the Stratonovich sense with a conserved quantity. We show that the mean-square order of the method is 11 if noises are commutative and that the weak order is also 11. Since the proposed method may need the computation of a deterministic integral, we analyse the effect of the use of quadrature formulas on the convergence orders. Furthermore, based on the splitting technique of stochastic vector fields, we construct conservative composition methods with similar orders as the above method. Finally, numerical experiments are presented to support our theoretical results.
