An error analysis of Runge-Kutta convolution quadrature is presented for a class of nonsectorial operators whose Laplace transform satisfies, besides the standard assumptions of analyticity in a half-plane Re s > σ0 and a polynomial bound O(s 1) there, the stronger polynomial bound O(s2) in convex sectors of the form | arg s| ≤ π/2 − θ < π/2 for θ > 0. The order of convergence of the Runge-Kutt...

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...

Exponential Runge-Kutta (ERK) and partitioned exponential Runge-Kutta (PERK) 4 methods are developed for solving initial value problems with vector fields that can be split into con5 servative and linear non-conservative parts. The focus is on linearly damped ordinary differential 6 equations, that possess certain invariants when the damping coefficient is zero, but, in the presence of 7 consta...

We present Runge-Kutta methods of high accuracy for stochastic differential equations with constant diffusion coefficients. We analyze L2 convergence of these methods and present convergence proofs. For scalar equations a second-order method is derived, and for systems a method of order one-and-one-half is derived. We further consider a variance reduction technique based on Hermite expansions f...

Abstract. This paper develops Runge-Kutta PK-based central discontinuous Galerkin (CDG) methods with WENO limiter to the oneand two-dimensional special relativistic hydrodynamical (RHD) equations, K = 1,2,3. Different from the non-central DG methods, the Runge-Kutta CDG methods have to find two approximate solutions defined on mutually dual meshes. For each mesh, the CDG approximate solutions o...

A device for electrostatic separation of triboelectrically charged plastic particles is modeled and optimized. Electric field in the system is solved numerically by a fully adaptive higher-order finite element method. The movement of particles in the device is determined by an adaptive Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method. The shape optimization of the electrodes is carried out by a technique based on g...

We consider variations of the Adams–Bashforth, backward differentiation, and Runge–Kutta families of time integrators to solve systems of linear wave equations on uniform, time-staggered grids. These methods are found to have smaller local truncation errors and to allow larger stable time steps than traditional nonstaggered versions of equivalent orders. We investigate the accuracy and stabilit...

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...

Second derivative general linear methods (SGLMs) as an extension of general linear methods (GLMs) have been introduced to improve the stability and accuracy properties of GLMs. The coefficients of SGLMs are given by six matrices, instead of four matrices for GLMs, which are obtained by solving nonlinear systems of order and usually Runge–Kutta stability conditions. In this paper, we introduce a...

A systematic method for the derivation of high order schemes for affinely controlled nonlinear systems is developed. Using an adaptation of the stochastic Taylor expansion for control systems we construct Taylor schemes of arbitrary high order and indicate how derivative free Runge-Kutta type schemes can be obtained. Furthermore an approximation technique for the multiple control integrals appe...
