Abstract: A first-principles implicit simulation program, Implicit Stratonovich Stochastic Differential Equations(ISSDE), is constructed for stochastic differential equations which describes plasmas with Coulomb collision. Basic idea of the program is stochastic equivalence between Fokker-Planck equation and Stratonovich SDE. Implicit discrete method guarantees numerical stability and conservation of kinetic energy. ISSDE is built with C++ language, and is designed to possess standard interfaces and extendible modules. Slowing-down processes of electron beams in both unmagnetized and magnetized plasmas are studied, which shows correctness of ISSDE. It provides a powerful tool for collisional plasmas studies.
