Abstract

Richardson extrapolation is a sequence acceleration method, which has long been used to enhance the accuracy of time integration methods for solving differential equations. Its classical version is based on a suitable linear combination of numerical solutions obtained by the same numerical method with two different discretization parameters. We present the principle of Richardson extrapolation, and introduce a possible generalization of this method called repeated Richardson extrapolation (RRE). The consistency and convergence of the new method obtained by combining certain Runge-Kutta methods with RRE are analysed and illustrated with numerical experiments.
