<strong>Runge</strong>-<strong>Kutta</strong> Methods<br />

To solve the initial value problem:<br />

u ′ (t) = F (u(t)), u(0) = u 0<br />

a <strong>Runge</strong>-<strong>Kutta</strong> method computes approximations u n ≈ u(n∆t):<br />

�<br />

y i = u n i−1<br />

+ ∆t aijF (y j )<br />

j=1<br />

u n+1 = u n s−1<br />

+ ∆t<br />

�<br />

bjF (y j )<br />

The accuracy and stability <strong>of</strong> the method depend on the coefficient matrix<br />

A and vector b.<br />

j=1<br />
