Simulations of Two-Step Maruyama Methods for Nonlinear Stochastic Delay Differential Equations

In this paper, we investigate the numerical performance of a family of P-stable two-step Maruyama schemes in mean-square sense for stochastic differential equations with time delay proposed in [8, 10] for a certain class of nonlinear stochastic delay differential equations with multiplicative white noises. We also test the convergence of one of the schemes for a time-delayed Burgers' equation with an additive white noise. Numerical results show that this family of two-step Maruyama methods exhibit similar stability for nonlinear equations as that for linear equations.
