Such methods, as an interesting and creative extension of traditional Runge-Kutta (RK) methods, can give us a new perspective on RK discretization and it may enlarge the application of RK approximation theory in modern mathematics and engineering fields. A highlighted advantage of investigation of csRK methods is that we do not need to study the tedious solution of multi-variable nonlinear algebraic equations stemming from order conditions. In this note, we will discuss and promote the recently-developed csRK theory. In particular, we will place emphasis on structure-preserving algorithms including symplectic methods, symmetric methods and energy-preserving methods which play a central role in the field of geometric numerical integration.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-04-23T17:14:28.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "continuous-stage runge-kutta methods", "nonlinear algebraic equations stemming", "first-order ordinary differential equations", "rk approximation theory", "multi-variable nonlinear algebraic equations" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
