Abstract
In this paper, we propose a new approach for the time-discretization of the incompressible stochastic Stokes equations with multiplicative noise. Our new strategy is based on the classical Milstein method from stochastic differential equations. We use the energy method for its error analysis and show a strong convergence order of nearly 1 for both velocity and pressure approximations. The proof is based on a new Hölder continuity estimate of the velocity solution. While the errors of the velocity approximation are estimated in the standard \(L^2\)- and \(H^1\)-norms, the pressure errors are carefully analyzed in a special norm because of the low regularity of the pressure solution. In addition, a new interpretation of the pressure solution, which is very useful in computation, is also introduced. Numerical experiments are also provided to validate the error estimates and their sharpness.
