A Runge-Kutta Fehlberg method with phase-lag of order infinity for initial-value problems with oscillating solution (Q2365973): Difference between revisions

Conventional Runge-Kutta-methods use small stepsize for the integration of equations describing free oscillations, in order to obtain accurate approximations along the intervals used. The author proposes methods suitable for a long interval integration step, not only when the oscillating equation is subject to free oscillations of high frequency, but also in the case of forced oscillations of low frequency. One of the mentioned methods for the numerical solution of systems of ordinary differential equations of the form \(y'=f(x,y)\) is third order algebraic, has phase-lag of order infinitely, and is dissipative of order four. Numerical examples show, that these methods are much more accurate compared with other classical methods used in problems with oscillating equations.
