Abstract
We consider the problem of strong approximations of the solution of It\^{o} stochastic functional differential equations involving a distributed delay term. The mean-square consistency of a class of schemes, the $\Theta$-Maruyama methods, is analysed, using an appropriate It{\^o}-formula. In particular, we investigate the consequences of the choice of a quadrature formula. Numerical examples illustrate the theoretical results.
