Strong approximation for It^o stochastic di erential equations

In this paper, a class of semi-implicit two-stage stochastic Runge-Kutta methods (SRKs) of strong global order one, with minimum principal error constants are given. These methods are applied to solve Itô stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with a Wiener process. The efficiency of this method with respect to explicit two-stage Itô Runge-Kutta methods (IRKs), It method, Milstien method, semi-implicit and implicit two-stage Stratonovich Runge-Kutta methods are demonstrated by presenting some numerical results.
