Abstract: In this note we study the asymptotic mean-square stability for two-step schemes applied to a scalar stochastic differential equation (sde) and applied to systems of sdes. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for the asymptotic MS-stability of the methods in terms of the parameters of the schemes. The stochastic Backward Differentiation Formula (BDF2) scheme is asymptotically mean-square stable for any step-size whereas the two-step Adams-Bashforth (AB2) and Adams-Moulton (AM2) methods are unconditionally stable. The improved versions of the schemes do not perform better w.r.t their stability behavior in the scalar case, as expected, but the situation is different in more dimensions. Numerical experiments confirm theoretical results.
