We will consider the efficient implementation of a fourth order two stage implicit Runge-Kutta method to solve periodic second order initial value problems. To solve the resulting systems, we will use the factorization of the discretized operator. Such proposed factorization involves both complex and real arithmetic. The latter case is considered here. The resulting system will be efficient and...

The modified differential transform method (MDTM), Laplace transform and Padé approximants are used to investigate a semi-analytic form of solutions of nonlinear oscillators in a large time domain. Forced Duffing and forced van der Pol oscillators under damping effect are studied to investigate semi-analytic forms of solutions. Moreover, solutions of the suggested nonlinear oscillators are obta...

The e ciency and accuracy of several time integration schemes are investigated for the unsteady Navier-Stokes equations. This study focuses on the e ciency of higher-order Runge-Kutta schemes in comparison with the popular Backward Di erencing Formulations. For this comparison an unsteady two-dimensional laminar ow problem is chosen, i.e. ow around a circular cylinder at Re=1200. It is conclude...

In this paper we further explore a class of high order TVD (total variation diminishing) Runge-Kutta time discretization initialized in a paper by Shu and Osher, suitable for solving hyperbolic conservation laws with stable spatial discretizations. We illustrate with numerical examples that non-TVD but linearly stable Runge-Kutta time discretization can generate oscillations even for TVD (total...

A high-order accurate method for the numerical solution of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations is developed. Fourth–order, explicit, finite difference schemes on staggered grids are used for space discretization. The explicit, fourth–order Runge–Kutta method is used for time marching. Incompressibility is enforce for each Runge–Kutta stage either by a local pressure correction, which is ...

Additive Runge Kutta (ARK) methods are investigated for application to the spatially discretized one dimensional convection diffusion reaction (CDR) equations. First, accuracy, stability, conservation, and dense output are considered for the general case when N different Runge Kutta methods are grouped into a single composite method. Then, implicit explicit, N = 2, additive Runge Kutta (ARK2) m...

We study the performance of methods of lines combining discontinuous Galerkin spatial discretizations and explicit Runge-Kutta time integrators, with the aim of deriving optimal Runge-Kutta schemes for wave propagation applications. We review relevant Runge-Kutta methods from literature, and consider schemes of order q from 3 to 4, and number of stages up to q + 4, for optimization. From a user...

A new diagonally implicit Runge-Kutta-Nyström (RKN) method is developed for the integration of initial-value problems for second-order ordinary differential equations possessing oscillatory solutions. Presented is a method which is three-stage fourth-order with dispersive order six and 'small' principal local truncation error terms and dissipation constant. The analysis of phase-lag, dissipatio...
