The Lie group structure of the Butcher group

From MaRDI portal
(Redirected from Publication:525601)




Abstract: The Butcher group is a powerful tool to analyse integration methods for ordinary differential equations, in particular Runge--Kutta methods. In the present paper, we complement the algebraic treatment of the Butcher group with a natural infinite-dimensional Lie group structure. This structure turns the Butcher group into a real analytic Baker--Campbell--Hausdorff Lie group modelled on a Fr'echet space. In addition, the Butcher group is a regular Lie group in the sense of Milnor and contains the subgroup of symplectic tree maps as a closed Lie subgroup. Finally, we also compute the Lie algebra of the Butcher group and discuss its relation to the Lie algebra associated to the Butcher group by Connes and Kreimer.
