Abstract
We introduce two drift-diagonally-implicit and derivative-free integrators for stiff systems of Itô stochastic differential equations with general non-commutative noise which have weak order 2 and deterministic order 2, 3, respectively. The methods are shown to be mean-square A-stable for the usual complex scalar linear test problem with multiplicative noise and improve significantly the stability properties of the drift-diagonally-implicit methods previously introduced (Debrabant and Rößler, Appl. Numer. Math. 59(3–4):595–607, 2009).

Notes
Notice that if R(p,q,ξ)=0 with a non-zero probability, then (3) is clearly numerically asymptotically stable.
In the implementation, we use the initializations \(K_{1}^{0}=X_{0}\) and \(K_{2}^{0}=X_{0}+(1-\gamma) h f(K_{1})\) and we consider the stopping criteria (\(\|K_{i}^{k+1}-K_{i}^{k}\|=0\) or \(\|K_{i}^{k+1}-K_{i}^{k}\|\geq\| K_{i}^{k}-K_{i}^{k-1}\|\)) which guaranties a convergence up to machine precision for the iterations (10). Other stopping criteria, such as \(\|K_{i}^{k+1}-K_{i}^{k}\|<\mathit{Tol}\) where Tol is a prescribed tolerance could also be considered.
