Contents
We introduce new sufficient conditions for a numerical method to approximate with high order of accuracy the invariant measure of a nonlinear ergodic system of stochastic differential equations, independently of the standard weak order of accuracy of the method. We then present a systematic procedure based on the framework of modified differential equations for the construction of stochastic integrators that capture the invariant measure with a high order of accuracy, again independently of the weak order. Special attention is paid to the high order properties of Lie-Trotter splitting methods for Langevin dynamics, in spite of their standard weak order one.\\ References\\ -A. Abdulle, G.
