IRK methods for DAE: Starting algorithms (Q1964104)

This paper shows how to obtain cheap initial guesses for the solution of the nonlinear systems that must be solved at each step when an implicit Runge-Kutta (IRK) method is applied to a semi-explicit index one differential-algebraic equations (DAE). Given \(y_{n-1}\) and \(Y_n\) (the vector of stage values) from the previous step a method of the form \(Y^{(0)}_{n+1}= b_0\otimes y_{n-1}+ (B\otimes I_m) Y_n\) is used for both the differential and algebraic components. These methods do not have additional cost and inherit the stage order properties of the underlying method.
