We are concerned with the solution of time-dependent nonlinear hyperbolic partial differential equations. We investigate the combination of residual distribution methods with a consistent mass matrix (discretisation in space) and a Runge-Kutta-type time stepping (discretisation in time). The introduced nonlinear blending procedure allows us to retain the explicit character of the time stepping ...

in this paper, numerical spline-based differential quadrature is presented for solving the boundary and initial value problems, and its application is used to solve the fixed rectangular membrane vibration equation. for the time integration of the problem, the runge–kutta and spline-based differential quadrature methods have been applied. the runge–kutta method was unstable for solving the prob...

Literature For a great deal of information on Runge-Kutta methods consult J.C. Butcher, Numerical Methods for Ordinary Differential Equations, second edition, Wiley and Sons, 2008, ISBN 9780470723357. That book also has a good introduction to linear multistep methods. In these notes we refer to this books simply as Butcher. The notes were written independently of the book which accounts for som...

In this work we consider Symplectic Runge Kutta Nyström methods with five stages. A new fourth algebraic order method with phase-lag order eight is presented. Also the symplectic Runge Kutta Nyström of Calvo and Sanz Serna with five stages and fourth order is modified to produce a phase-fitted method. We apply the new methods on several Hamiltonian systems and on the computation of the eigenval...

Numerical stability is considered for several Runge-Kutta methods to systems of neutral delay differential equations. The linear stability analysis is adopted to the system. Adapted with the equistage interpolation process as well as the continuous extension, the Runge-Kutta methods are shown to have the numerical stability similar to the analytical asymptotic stability with arbitrary stepsize,...

Galerkin fully discrete approximations for parabolic equations with time-dependent coefficients are analyzed. The schemes are based on implicit Runge-Kutta methods, and are coupled with preconditioned iterative methods to approximately solve the resulting systems of linear equations. It is shown that for certain classes of Runge-Kutta methods, the fully discrete equations exhibit parallel featu...

A simple accelerated third-order Runge-Kutta-type, fixed time step, integration scheme that uses just two function evaluations per step is developed. Because of the lower number of function evaluations, the scheme proposed herein has a lower computational cost than the standard third-order Runge-Kutta scheme while maintaining the same order of local accuracy. Numerical examples illustrating the...
