We study the stability of Runge-Kutta methods for the time integration of semidiscrete systems associated with time dependent PDEs. These semidiscrete systems amount to large systems of ODEs with the possibility that the matrices involved are far from being normal. The stability question of their Runge-Kutta methods, therefore, cannot be addressed by the familiar scalar arguments of eigenvalues...

A set of validated numerical integration methods based on explicit and implicit Runge-Kutta schemes is presented to solve, in a guaranteed way, initial value problems of ordinary differential equations. Runge-Kutta methods are well-known to have strong stability properties, which make them appealing to be the basis of validated numerical integration methods. A new approach to bound the local tr...

We study spatially partitioned embedded Runge–Kutta (SPERK) schemes for partial differential equations (PDEs), in which each of the component schemes is applied over a different part of the spatial domain. Such methods may be convenient for problems in which the smoothness of the solution or the magnitudes of the PDE coefficients vary strongly in space. We focus on embedded partitioned methods ...

A backward analysis of integration methods, whose numerical solution is a P-series, is presented. Such methods include Runge-Kutta methods, partitioned Runge-Kutta methods and Nystrr om methods. It is shown that the numerical solution can formally be interpreted as the exact solution of a perturbed diierential system whose right-hand side is again a P-series. The main result of this article is ...

Runge-Kutta methods are an important family of implicit and explicit iterative methods used for the approximation of solutions of ordinary differential equations. Explicit RungeKutta methods are unsuitable for the solution of stiff equations as their region of stability is small. Stiff equation is a differential equation for which certain numerical methods for solving the equation are numerical...

Previously, it has been shown that discretising a multi-Hamiltonian PDE in space and time with partitioned Runge–Kutta methods gives rise to a system of equations that formally satisfy a discrete multisymplectic conservation law. However, these studies use the same partitioning of the variables into two partitions in both space and time. This gives rise to a large number of cases to be consider...
