A zero-dissipative Runge-Kutta-Nyström method with minimal phase-lag (Q980624): Difference between revisions

Summary: An explicit Runge-Kutta-Nyström (RKN) method is developed for solving second-order differential equations of the form \(q^{\prime\prime}=f(t,q)\) where the solutions are oscillatory. The method has zero-dissipation with minimal phase-lag at a cost of three-function evaluations per step of integration. Numerical comparisons with RKN3HS, RKN3V, RKN4G, and RKN4C methods show the precision and effectiveness of the method developed.
