Explicit Stabilized Multirate Method For Stiff Stochastic Differential Equations

Assyr Abdulle, Giacomo Rosilho De Souza

Stabilized explicit methods are particularly efficient, for large systems of stiff stochastic differential equations (SDEs) due to their extended stability domain. However, they lose their efficiency when a severe stiffness is induced by very few "fast" de ...
