Weak stochastic Runge-Kutta Munthe-Kaas methods for finite spin ensembles

In this article we construct weak Runge–Kutta Munthe-Kaas methods for a finite-dimensional version of the stochastic Landau–Lifshitz equation (LL-equation). We formulate a Lie group framework for the stochastic LL-equation and derive regularity conditions for the corresponding SDE system on the Lie algebra. Using this formulation we define weak Munthe-Kaas methods based on weak stochastic Runge–Kutta methods (SRK methods) and provide sufficient conditions such that the Munthe-Kaas methods inherit the convergence order of the underlying SRK method. The constructed methods are fully explicit and preserve the norm constraint of the LL-equation exactly. Numerical simulations are provided to illustrate the convergence order as well as the long time behaviour of the proposed methods.
