Abstract

Two new Runge–Kutta (RK) pairs of orders 6(4) and 7(5) are presented for solving numerically the inhomogeneous linear initial value problems with constant coefficients. These new pairs use only six and eight stages per step respectively. Six stages are needed for conventional Runge–Kutta pairs of orders 5(4) while for such a pair of orders 6(5) we use eight stages. Thus, our proposal is an improvement and it is achieved since the set of order conditions is smaller in the case of interest here. Since traditional simplifications for derivation of Runge–Kutta methods do not apply for this reduced set, we proceed using the differential evolution technique for solving it. We finalize by performing tests over some relevant problems with very pleasant results.
