Analysis of trigonometric implicit Runge-Kutta methods (Q2433792)

The idea of this paper is to present Runge-Kutta (RK) methods that exploit the known oscillatory behaviour of the solution of a differential equation to improve the quality of the numerical approximation. The method is based on the use of trigonometric fitting functions to develop a class of one-stage RK methods. The coefficients of the trigonometric implicit Runge-Kutta (TIRK) methods are functions of frequency and stepsize. The paper reviews alternative approaches to the problem, describes the development of the TIRK methods, analyses their stability and presents numerical examples.
