In recent years it has become clear that the current computational methods for scientific and engineering phenomena are inadequate for many challenging problems. Examples of these problems are wave propagation, turbulent fluid flow, as well as problems involving nonlinear interactions and multiple scales. This has resulted in a significant interest in so-called high-order accurate methods, whic...

We study the spatial semidiscretizations obtained by applying Runge–Kutta (RK) and partitioned Runge–Kutta (PRK) methods to multisymplectic Hamiltonian partial differential equations. These methods can be regarded as multisymplectic hp-finite element methods for wave equations. All the methods we consider are multisymplectic; we determine their properties with regard to existence of solutions, ...

Methods for applying the variationally stable procedure for Nth-order perturbative transition matrix elements of Gao and Starace [Phys. Rev. Lett. 61, 404 (1988); Phys. Rev. A 39, 4550 (1989)] to multiphoton processes involving systems other than atomic H are presented. Three specific cases are discussed: one-electron ions or atoms in which the electron-ion interaction is described by a central...

In this work we present a general approach for developing high-order compact differencing schemes by utilizing the governing differential equation to help approximate truncation error terms. As an illustrative application we consider the stream-function vorticity form of the Navier Stokes equations, and provide driven cavity results. Some extensions to treat non-constant metric coefficients res...

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.
