Untitled[edit]

I removed the 'citation needed' thingy from the kuttas third order method due to it being correct. Any book on butcher tableaus will prove this right. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.12.103.165 (talk) 13:24, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Formula for 2-stage Lobatto IIIb is incorrect. Change c1=1/2 and c2=1/2 (incorrect) by c1=0 and c2=1

Butcher tableaus for implicit methods[edit]

I might be wrong, but could it be, that the definition of $k_{i}$ is not working for implicit methods? The sum doesn't work for $i<2$ . 2003:CB:C3EA:CA00:E47F:D884:4654:1E60 (talk) 14:02, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Take for instance the backward Euler example under https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runge%E2%80%93Kutta_methods#Implicit_Runge%E2%80%93Kutta_methods. Here, we have

k_{1}=f(t_{n}+h,\ y_{n}+hk_{1})

, but this matches neither the formula for

k_{1}

, i.e.

k_{1}=f(t_{n},\ y_{n})

, nor the general formula for

k_{i}

, which would give

k_{1}=f(t_{n}+h,\ y_{n})

Missing variants[edit]

Runge Kutta Butcher[edit]

See e.g. [1] —DIV (138.194.12.32 (talk) 00:46, 23 November 2010 (UTC))[reply]

Runge-Kutta-Merson[edit]

This method is also missing. IRWolfie- (talk) 11:33, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

RK 8 7 (also a D-P method) and Runge-Kutta-Nystrom are missing[edit]

I recall hearing that very high order (8/7) is used for very non-stiff problems. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0771050X81900103

There is also the Runge-Kutta-Nystrom formula http://imajna.oxfordjournals.org/content/7/4/423.short

I was wondering if someone would mind adding these to the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.135.223.100 (talk) 19:28, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fehlberg had multiple methods[edit]

The paper is: E. FEHLBERG, Classical Fifth-, Sixth-, Seventh- , and Eighth-Order Runge-Kutta Formulas with Stepsize Control, NASA TR R-287, (1968). It used to be available on the NASA tech reports server, but that is currently down so they can make scientific knowledge into state secrets. Tfr000 (talk) 15:02, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Summation notation images difficult to read[edit]

Several examples use s for the upper bound, but in the rendered image this appears to be indistinguisable from the number 8. Example:

y_{n+1}=y_{n}+h\sum _{i=1}^{s}b_{i}k_{i}\,

Is there any way to make this more legible? - Rainwarrior (talk) 22:37, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Check accuracy and references of Diagonally Implicit Runge-Kutta Methods[edit]

I noticed that the first DIRK, Kraaijevanger and Spijker's two-stage diagonally implicit, may be incorrect because it's not 2nd-order accurate. (The sums $\sum _{i}b_{i}c_{i}$ and $\sum _{ij}b_{i}a_{ij}$ should both equal 1/2.) Furthermore, despite being linked to specific people, almost none of the DIRKs have citations, either to the original research in which they are proposed or to a textbook compiling and comparing them.

Picture Repaint Required[edit]

Some pictures may be uncorrect in some devices. Negatives may be hidden.

Three-stage, 3rd order, L-stable Diagonally Implicit Runge–Kutta method:[edit]

What is x? It says x=0.4358665215 but I bet x is transcendent. What's the formula? Whoever put it up must know it. 31.17.92.45 (talk) 20:46, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
