Exponential-fitted four-step methods for

From MaRDI portal





In this very interesting paper a family of sixth algebraic-order four-step methods for solving second-order initial value problems: \(y = f(x,y)\), \(y(a) = y_{0}\) and \(y'(a) = y_0'\) is developed. The family contains five free parameters. Four of the \(\omega_{i}\), \(i=1,\dots,4\) are tuned in terms of \(f(x,y)\) and the rest is defined such that the methods have the best stability properties. Numerical experiments show that these new methods are more efficient than the well-known Runge-Kutta-Nyström based subroutine DOPRIN. We note here that DOPRIN is a seventh-order method i.e. one order higher than the proposed method.
