Trigonometrically-fitted ARKN methods for perturbed oscillators (Q941614)

Consider the numerical solution of nonstiff problems \[ y''+w^2y=\varepsilon g(t,y,y'),\;t\in [t_o, T], \quad y(t_o)=y_o,\;y'(t_o)=y'_o, \quad 0<\varepsilon\ll 1. \] Trigonometrically-fitted Runge-Kutta-Nyström methods (abbr. as TFARKN) are proposed for the perturbed oscillators. They combine features of trigonometrically-fitted methods with the adaptive Runge-Kutta-Nyström (ARKN) methods. Necessary and sufficient conditions are derived for the TFARKN methods of order four and five. Numerical experiments show the efficiency of the proposed methods in comparison with some well-known methods.
