The numerical solution of differential algebraic systems using Runge-Kutta methods of special type

Thesis/Dissertation ·
OSTI ID:5692857

In this dissertation the author is concerned with the solution of differential-algebraic equations using Runge Dutta methods whose coefficient matrices are singular. Not all such Runge Kutta methods are well defined when applied to differential-algebraic equations; however, Runge Kutta methods of special type are shown here to be well defined when applied to either constant coefficient or uniform index 1 differential-algebraic equations. He also derives conditions on the coefficients of such a method sufficient for any desired order.
