Local error estimation for singly-implicit formulas by two-step Runge- Kutta methods (Q688737)

The authors show that the local discretization error of \(s\)-stage singly- implicity Runge-Kutta methods of order \(p\) can be estimated by embedding these methods into \(s\)-stage two-step Runge-Kutta methods of order \(p+1\), where \(p=s\) or \(p=s+1\). The new estimations do not need any extra evaluations of the right hand side of the differential equation. Concrete formulae and numerical examples are also given.
