Abstract:
In order to study a generalization of the explicit $p$-stage Runge-Kutta methods, we introduce a new family of $p$-stage formulas for the numerical integration of some special systems of ODEs that provides better order and stability results with the same number of stages. In our recent paper entitled 'An improved class of generalized Runge-Kutta methods for stiff problems. Part I: The scalar case' we studied new schemes for the numerical integration of scalar autonomous ODEs. In this second part we will show that it is possible to generalize our GRK-methods so that they can be applied to some non-autonomous scalar ODEs and systems obtaining linearly implicit A-stable and L-stable methods. These methods do not require Jacobian evaluations in their implementation. Some numerical examples are discussed in order to show the good performance of the new schemes.
