The equivalent relation is established here about the stability of stochastic differential equations with piecewise continuous arguments(SDEPCAs) and that of the one-leg ? method applied to the SDEPCAs. Firstly, the convergence of the one-leg ? method to SDEPCAs under the global Lipschitz condition is proved. Secondly, it is proved that the SDEPCAs are pth(p 2 (0; 1)) moment exponentially stable if and only if the one-leg ? method is pth moment exponentially stable for some sufficiently small step-size. Thirdly, the corollaries that the pth moment exponential stability of the SDEPCAs (the one-leg ? method) implies the almost sure exponential stability of the SDEPCAs (the one-leg ? method) are given. Finally, numerical simulations are provided to illustrate the theoretical results.
