We are interested in changes in qualitative behaviour of solutions to
stochastic delay differential equations. As a starting point we consider
the stochastic delay logistic equation with multiplicative noise of the form
For simple numerical schemes with fixed step lengths we know (see [1,2,3]) that the actual bifurcation value of the parameter is perturbed by an amount that depends both on the choice of numerical method and on the step length .
We consider now the corresponding question for the case where . Here the stochastic term may be expected to influence the qualitative behaviour of solution trajectories. We discuss the practical implications of using numerical methods to detect bifurcation values of and present some numerical results.
