Modified Runge-Kutta methods for the numerical solution of ODEs with oscillating solutions (Q1368920)

The author considers the numerical solution of systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) of the form \((*)\) \(y'= f(x,y)\) with oscillating solutions. During the past few years new methods have been developed for the numerical solution of \((*)\) characterized by the phase-lag property introduced in 1980. The purpose of this paper is to develop explicit Runge-Kutta-methods with minimal phase-lag for quadratic initial value problems. These methods are based on Runge-Kutta methods of \textit{J. R. Dormand} and \textit{P. J. Prince} [Celest. Mech. 18, 223-232 (1978; Zbl 0386.70006)] of algebraic order five. Theoretical and numerical results show, that the new approach is more efficient compared with the classical fifth-order method of Dormand and Prince.
