Stepsize Selection in Explicit Runge-Kutta Methods for Moderately Stiff Problems

Stepsize selection for tolerance proportionality in explicit Runge-Kutta codes

The potential for adaptive explicit Runge–Kutta (ERK) codes to produce global errors that decrease linearly as a function of the error tolerance is studied. It is shown that this desirable property may not hold, in general, if the leading term of the locally computed error estimate passes through zero. However, it is also shown that certain methods are insensitive to a vanishing leading term. M...

Explicit Exponential Runge-Kutta Methods for Semilinear Parabolic Problems

The aim of this paper is to analyze explicit exponential Runge-Kutta methods for the time integration of semilinear parabolic problems. The analysis is performed in an abstract Banach space framework of sectorial operators and locally Lipschitz continuous nonlinearities. We commence by giving a new and short derivation of the classical (nonstiff) order conditions for exponential RungeKutta meth...

Explicit Stabilized Runge-Kutta Methods

2-stage explicit total variation diminishing preserving Runge-Kutta methods

In this paper, we investigate the total variation diminishing property for a class of 2-stage explicit Rung-Kutta methods of order two (RK2) when applied to the numerical solution of special nonlinear initial value problems (IVPs) for (ODEs). Schemes preserving the essential physical property of diminishing total variation are of great importance in practice. Such schemes are free of spurious o...
