An inverse eigenvalue problem: Computing \(B\)-stable Runge-Kutta methods having real poles (Q1195921)

A \(B\)-stable 8 stage singly-implicit Runge-Kutta method (SIRK) of order 8 utilizing a recent result on eigenvalue assignment by state feedback and a new tridiagonalization, which preserves the entries required by the \(\omega\)-transformation, are derived. This method allows the numerical solution of a difficult inverse eigenvalue problem. Also \(s\)-stage \(B\)-stable and \(L\)-stable SIRKs for \(s=6\) and \(s=8\) of order \(s\) are computed.
