Stiffness detection strategy for Explicit Runge Kutta Methods
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a new practical strategy to detect stiffness based on explicit Runge-Kutta schemes. This strategy implements an operative definition of stiffness based on the computation of two conditioning parameters. Test results, using a modified version of the MATLAB code DOPRI5, indicate that the new strategy is able to detect whether a problem could be solved more efficiently by an implicit method.

متن کاملApplication of implicit-explicit high order Runge-Kutta methods to discontinuous-Galerkin schemes
Despite the popularity of high-order explicit Runge–Kutta (ERK) methods for integrating semi-discrete systems of equations, ERK methods suffer from severe stability-based time step restrictions for very stiff problems. We implement a discontinuous Galerkin finite element method (DGFEM) along with recently introduced high-order implicit–explicit Runge–Kutta (IMEX-RK) schemes to overcome geometry...
متن کاملSemi-Implicit Runge-Kutta Schemes for non-autonomous differential equations in reactive flow computations
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...
متن کامل2-stage explicit total variation diminishing preserving Runge-Kutta methods
In this paper, we investigate the total variation diminishing property for a class of 2-stage explicit Rung-Kutta methods of order two (RK2) when applied to the numerical solution of special nonlinear initial value problems (IVPs) for (ODEs). Schemes preserving the essential physical property of diminishing total variation are of great importance in practice. Such schemes are free of spurious o...
متن کاملOn Stiffness in Affine Asset Pricing Models∗
Economic and econometric analysis of continuous-time affine asset pricing models often necessitates solving systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) numerically. Explicit Runge-Kutta methods have been suggested to solve these ODEs in both the theoretical finance and financial econometrics literature. In this paper we show that under many empirically relevant circumstances the ODEs invo...
