Abstract

A new third order rational Runge-Kutta formula is derived and implemented. Results obtained are compared with the existing formulae to determine the level of its performance, consistency and accuracy. It was discovered from the computation carried out that errors are minimized while using the new scheme.

 

Key words: Inverse Runge-Kutta method, rational mesh size, rate of convergence, consistence computer time and error analysis.
