Abstract
We present new numerical methods for scalar stochastic
differential equations. Successive time increments are independent
random variables with an exponential distribution. We perform
numerical experiments using a double-well potential.
Exponential timestepping algorithms are efficient for escape
time problems because a simple boundary test can be performed
at the end of each step.
