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.
