Exotic aromatic B-series for the study of long time integrators for a class of ergodic SDEs (1707.02877v4)

Abstract: We introduce a new algebraic framework based on a modification (called exotic) of aromatic Butcher-series for the systematic study of the accuracy of numerical integrators for the invariant measure of a class of ergodic stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with additive noise. The proposed analysis covers Runge-Kutta type schemes including the cases of partitioned methods and postprocessed methods. We also show that the introduced exotic aromatic B-series satisfy an isometric equivariance property.
