This paper presents an overview of high-order implicit time integration methods and their associated properties with a specific focus on their application to computational fluid dynamics. A framework is constructed for the development and optimization of general implicit time integration methods, specifically including linear multistep, Runge-Kutta, and multistep Runge-Kutta methods. The analys...

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 paper we further explore a class of high order TVD (total variation diminishing) Runge-Kutta time discretization initialized in a paper by Shu and Osher, suitable for solving hyperbolic conservation laws with stable spatial discretizations. We illustrate with numerical examples that non-TVD but linearly stable Runge-Kutta time discretization can generate oscillations even for TVD (total...

in this paper, a class of semi-implicit two-stage stochastic runge-kutta methods (srks) of strong global order one, with minimum principal error constants are given. these methods are applied to solve itô stochastic differential equations (sdes) with a wiener process. the efficiency of this method with respect to explicit two-stage itô runge-kutta methods (irks), it method, milstien method, sem...

We investigate conservative properties of Runge-Kutta methods for Hamiltonian PDEs. It is shown that multi-symplecitic Runge-Kutta methods preserve precisely norm square conservation law. Based on the study of accuracy of Runge-Kutta methods applied to ordinary and partial differential equations, we present some results on the numerical accuracy of conservation laws of energy and momentum for H...
