We consider interpolation in Lie groups and homogeneous spaces. Based on points on the manifold together with tangent vectors at (some of) these points, we construct Hermite interpolation polynomials. If the points and tangent vectors are produced in the process of integrating an ordinary di erential equation on a Lie group or a homogeneous space, we use the truncated inverse of the di erential...

The numerical behavior of two implicit time-marching methods is investigated in solving two-dimensional unsteady compressible flows. The two methods are the second-order multistep backward differencing formula and the fourth-order multistage explicit first stage, single-diagonal coefficient, diagonally implicit Runge-Kutta scheme. A Newton-Krylov method is used to solve the nonlinear problem ar...

Abstract. Space discretization of some time-dependent partial differential equations gives rise to stiff systems of ordinary differential equations. In this case, implicit methods should be used and therefore, in general, nonlinear systems must be solved. The solutions to these systems are approximated by iterative schemes and, in order to obtain an efficient code, good initializers should be u...

We construct A-stable and L-stable diagonally implicit Runge-Kutta methods of which the diagonal vector in the Butcher matrix has a minimal maximum norm. If the implicit Runge-Kutta relations are iteratively solved by means of the approximately factorized Newton process, then such iterated Runge-Kutta methods are suitable methods for integrating shallow water problems in the sense that the stab...

In this paper a new embedded Singly Diagonally Implicit Runge-Kutta Nystrom fourth order in fifth order method for solving special second order initial value problems is derived. A standard set of test problems are tested upon and comparisons on the numerical results are made when the same set of test problems are reduced to first order systems and solved using the existing embedded diagonally ...

The aim of this paper is to design a new family of numerical methods of arbitrarily high order for systems of rst-order diierential equations which are to be termed pseudo two-step Runge-Kutta methods. By using collocation techniques, we can obtain an arbitrarily high-order stable pseudo two-step Runge-Kutta method with any desired number of implicit stages in retaining the two-step nature. In ...

Implicit-explicit (IMEX) Runge-Kutta methods play a major rule in the numerical treatment of differential systems governed by stiff and non-stiff terms. This paper discusses order conditions and symplecticity properties of a class of IMEX Runge–Kutta methods in the context of optimal control problems. The analysis of the schemes is based on the continuous optimality system. Using suitable trans...

This paper investigates numerical methods for direct decoupled sensitivity and discrete adjoint sensitivity analysis of stiff systems based on implicit Runge Kutta schemes. Efficient implementations of tangent linear and adjoint schemes are discussed for two families of methods: fully implicit three-stage Runge Kutta and singly diagonally-implicit Runge Kutta. High computational efficiency is a...

Strong stability preserving (SSP) high order Runge–Kutta time discretizations were developed for use with semi-discrete method of lines approximations of hyperbolic partial differential equations, and have proven useful in many other applications. These high order time discretization methods preserve the strong stability properties of first order explicit Euler time stepping. In this paper we a...

Block Runge-Kutta formulae suitable for the approximate numerical integration of initial value problems for first order systems of ordinary differential equations are derived. Considered in detail are the problems of varying both order and stepsize automatically. This leads to a class of variable order block explicit Runge-Kutta formulae for the integration of nonstiff problems and a class of v...
