Two-sided error estimates for stochastic onestep and multistep methods


This paper presents a unifying theory for the numerical analysis of stochastic onestep and multistep methods. In addition to well-known results on the error of strong convergence we prove a two-sided error estimate. This is characterized by Dahlquist's strong root condition and is used to determine the maximum order of convergence. In particular, we apply our theory to the stochastic theta method, BDF2-Maruyama and higher order Itô-Taylor schemes. The main ingredient of the stability analysis is a stochastic version of Spijker' norm.
