Diagonally implicit Runge-Kutta type method for directly solving special fourth-order ordinary differential equations with ill-posed problem of a beam on elastic foundation (Q2633272): Difference between revisions

Summary: In this study, fifth-order and sixth-order diagonally implicit Runge-Kutta type (DIRKT) techniques for solving fourth-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are derived which are denoted as DIRKT5 and DIRKT6, respectively. The first method has three and the another one has four identical nonzero diagonal elements. A set of test problems are applied to validate the methods and numerical results showed that the proposed methods are more efficient in terms of accuracy and number of function evaluations compared to the existing implicit Runge-Kutta (RK) methods.
