We study the application of Runge-Kutta schemes to Hamiltonian systems of ordinary differential equations. We investigate which schemes possess the canonical property of the Hamiltonian flow. We also consider the issue of exact conservation in the time-discretization of the continuous invariants of motion. Classification: AMS 65 L, 70H.

This paper discusses the use of extrapolation methods for the parallel solution of diierential algebraic equations. The DAEs investigated are implicit and have explicit constrains and the underlying methods used for the extrapolation are Runge-Kutta methods. An implementation is described and preliminary results are presented.

An error analysis is presented for explicit partitioned Runge–Kutta methods and multirate methods applied to conservation laws. The interfaces, across which different methods or time steps are used, lead to order reduction of the schemes. Along with cell-based decompositions, also flux-based decompositions are studied. In the latter case mass conservation is guaranteed, but it will be seen that...

Abstract. In this paper, a numerical solution for the system described by a generalized fractional Rikitake system is presented. The first step in the proposed procedure is represent the fractional order Rikitake system as an equivalent system of ordinary differential equations. In the second step, we solved the system obtained in the first step by using the well known fourth order Runge-Kutta ...

Certain pairs of Runge-Kutta methods may be used additively to solve a system of n differential equations x' = J(t)x + g(t, x). Pairs of methods, of order p < 4, where one method is semiexplicit and /(-stable and the other method is explicit, are obtained. These methods require the LU factorization of one n X n matrix, and p evaluations of g, in each step. It is shown that such methods have a s...

We describe a construction of implicit two–step Runge–Kutta methods for ordinary differential equations in Nordsieck form and their continuous extensions. This representation allows accurate and reliable estimation of the local discretization errors and the application to differential equations with delays. Two stiffly accurate methods of order three with quadratic interpolants are derived, one...

An explicit time-stepping method is developed for adaptive solution of time-dependent partial differential equations with first order derivatives. The space is partitioned into blocks and the grid is refined and coarsened in these blocks. The equations are integrated in time by a Runge-KuttaFehlberg method. The local errors in space and time are estimated and the time and space steps are determ...

This paper presents a family of Runge{Kutta type integration schemes of arbitrarily high order for di erential equations evolving on manifolds. We prove that any classical Runge{Kutta method can be turned into an invariant method of the same order on a general homogeneous manifold, and present a family of algorithms that are relatively simple to implement.

A fourth-order, implicit, low-dispersion, and low-dissipation Runge-Kutta scheme is introduced. The scheme is optimized for minimal dissipation and dispersion errors. High order accuracy is achieved with fewer stages than standard explicit Runge-Kutta schemes. The scheme is designed to be As table for highly stiff problems. Possible applications include wall-bounded flows with solid boundaries ...
