CONVERGENCE OF PARALLEL DIAGONAL ITERATION OF RUNGE-KUTTA METHODS FOR DELAY DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

Implicit Runge-Kutta method is highly accurate and stable for stiff initial value prob-lem.But the iteration technique used to solve implicit Runge-Kutta method requires lotsof computational efforts.In this paper,we extend the Parallel Diagonal Iterated Runge-Kutta(PDIRK)methods to delay differential equations(DDEs).We give the convergenceregion of PDIRK methods,and analyze the speed of convergence in three parts for theP-stability region of the Runge-Kutta corrector method.Finally,we analysis the speed-upfactor through a numerical experiment.The results show that the PDIRK methods toDDEs are efficient.

Three-stage Stiffly Accurate Runge-Kutta Methods for Stiff Stochastic Differential Equations

In this paper we discuss diagonally implicit and semi-implicit methods based on the three-stage stiffly accurate Runge-Kutta methods for solving Stratonovich stochastic differential equations（SDEs）.Two methods,a three-stage stiffly accurate semi-implicit（SASI3） method and a three-stage stiffly accurate diagonally implicit （SADI3） method,are constructed in this paper.In particular,the truncated random variable is used in the implicit method.The stability properties and numerical results show the effectiveness of these methods in the pathwise approximation of stiff SDEs.

CHEBYSHEV METHODS WITH DISCRETE NOISE： THE τ-ROCK METHODS

Stabilized or Chebyshev explicit methods have been widely used in the past to solve stiff ordinary differential equations. Making use of special properties of Chebyshev-like polynomials, these methods have favorable stability properties compared to standard explicit methods while remaining explicit. A new class of such methods, called ROCK, introduced in [Numer. Math., 90, 1-18, 2001] has recently been extended to stiff stochastic differential equations under the name S-ROCK [C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, 345（10）, 2007 and Commun. Math. Sci, 6（4）, 2008]. In this paper we discuss the extension of the S-ROCK methods to systems with discrete noise and propose a new class of methods for such problems, the τ-ROCK methods. One motivation for such methods is the simulation of multi-scale or stiff chemical kinetic systems and such systems are the focus of this paper, but our new methods could potentially be interesting for other stiff systems with discrete noise. Two versions of the τ-ROCK methods are discussed and their stability behavior is analyzed on a test problem. Compared to the τ-leaping method, a significant speed-up can be achieved for some stiff kinetic systems. The behavior of the proposed methods are tested on several numerical experiments.     

非线性中立型延迟微分方程稳定性分析

This paper is devoted to the stability analysis of both the true solution and the numerical approximations for nonlinear systems of neutral delay differential equations(NDDEs) of the general form y′(t)=F(t，y(t)，G(t，y(t-τ-(t))，y′(t-τ-(t)))). We first present a sufficient condition on the stability and asymptotic stability of theoretical solution for the nonlinear systems. This work extends the results recently obtained by A.Bellen et al. for the form y′(t)=F(t，y(t)，G(t，y(t-τ-(t))，y′(t-τ-(t)))). Then numerical stability of Runge-Kutta methods for the systems of neutral delay differential equations is also investigated. Several numerical tests listed at the end of this paper to confirm the above theoretical results.

Partitioned adaptive Runge-Kutta methods and their stability

Summary This paper deals with the solution of partitioned systems of nonlinear stiff differential equations. Given a differential system, the user may specify some equations to be stiff and others to be nonstiff. For the numerical solution of such a system partitioned adaptive Runge-Kutta methods are studied. Nonstiff equations are integrated by an explicit Runge-Kutta method while an adaptive Runge-Kutta method is used for the stiff part of the system.The paper discusses numerical stability and contractivity as well as the implementation and usage of such compound methods. Test results for three partitioned stiff initial value problems for different tolerances are presented.

The efficiency of Singly-implicit Runge-Kutta methods for stiff differential equations

Singly-implicit Runge-Kutta methods are considered to be good candidates for stiff problems because of their good stability and high accuracy. The existing methods, SIRK (Singly-implicit Runge-Kutta), DESI (Diagonally Extendable Singly-implicit Runge-Kutta), ESIRK (Effective order Singly-implicit Rung-Kutta) and DESIRE (Diagonally Extended Singly-implicit Runge-Kutta Effective order) methods have been shown to be efficient for stiff differential equations, especially for high dimensional stiff problems. In this paper, we measure the efficiency for the family of singly-implicit Runge-Kutta methods using the local truncation error produced within one single step and the count of number of operations. Verification of the error and the computational costs for these methods using variable stepsize scheme are presented. We show how the numerical results are effected by the designed factors: additional diagonal-implicit stages and effective order.
