The purpose of this paper is to study the numerical oscillations of Runge-Kutta methods for the solution of alternately advanced and retarded differential equations with piecewise constant arguments. The conditions of oscillations for the Runge-Kutta methods are obtained. It is proven that the Runge-Kutta methods preserve the oscillations of the analytic solution. In addition, the relationship ...

In this paper, we study the preservation of quadratic conservation laws of Runge-Kutta methods and partitioned Runge-Kutta methods for Hamiltonian PDEs and establish the relation between multi-symplecticity of Runge-Kutta method and its quadratic conservation laws. For Schrödinger equations and Dirac equations, the relation implies that multi-sympletic RungeKutta methods applied to equations wi...

In this article, a new Runge-Kutta-Nyström method is derived. The new RKN method has zero phase-lag, zero amplification error and zero first derivative of phase-lag. This method is basically based on the sixth algebraic order Runge-Kutta-Nyström method, which has proposed by Dormand, El-Mikkawy and Prince. Numerical illustrations show that the new proposed method is much efficient as compared w...

No Runge-Kutta method can be energy preserving for all Hamiltonian systems. But for problems in which the Hamiltonian is a polynomial, the Averaged Vector Field (AVF) method can be interpreted as a Runge-Kutta method whose weights bi and abscissae ci represent a quadrature rule of degree at least that of the Hamiltonian. We prove that when the number of stages is minimal, the Runge-Kutta scheme...

Data interpolation is a fundamental data processing tool in scientific studies and engineering applications. However, when interpolating data points on an equidistant grid using polynomials, the so-called Runge phenomenonmay occur, making polynomial interpolation unreliable. Although there are some methods proposed to defeat the Runge phenomenon, it is still an open problem which parameter sequ...

This paper is concerned with time-stepping numerical methods for computing sti semi-discrete systems of ordinary di erential equations for transient hypersonic ows with thermo-chemical nonequilibrium. The sti ness of the equations is mainly caused by the viscous ux terms across the boundary layers and by the source terms modeling nite-rate thermo-chemical processes. Implicit methods are needed ...

This paper is concerned with time-stepping numerical methods for computing stiff semi-discrete systems of ordinary differential equations for transient hypersonic flows with thermo-chemical nonequilibrium. The stiffness of the equations is mainly caused by the viscous flux terms across the boundary layers and by the source terms modeling finite-rate thermo-chemical processes. Implicit methods a...

Practical, structure-preserving methods for integrating classical Heisenberg spin systems are discussed. Two new integrators are derived and compared, including (1) a symmetric energy and spin-length preserving integrator based on a Red-Black splitting of the spin sites combined with a staggered timestepping scheme and (2) a (Lie-Poisson) symplectic integrator based on Hamiltonian splitting. Th...

A general class of one-step methods for index 2 differential-algebraic systems in Hessenberg form is studied. This family of methods, which we call partitioned Runge-Kutta methods, includes all one-step methods of Runge-Kutta type proposed in the literature for integrating such DAE systems, including the more recently proposed classes of half-explicit methods. A new family of super-convergent p...
