We introduce a new class of Runge-Kutta type methods suitable for time stepping to propagate hyperbolic solutions within tent-shaped spacetime regions. Unlike standard Runge-Kutta methods, the new methods yield expected convergence properties when standard high order spatial (discontinuous Galerkin) discretizations are used. After presenting a derivation of nonstandard order conditions for these methods, we show numerical examples of nonlinear hyperbolic systems to demonstrate the optimal convergence rates. We also report on the discrete stability properties of these methods applied to linear hyperbolic equations.

We categorify the RK family of numerical integration methods (explicit and implicit). Namely we prove that if a pair of ODEs are related by an affine map then the corresponding discrete time dynamical systems are also related by the map. We show that in practice this works well when the pairs of related ODEs come from the coupled cell networks formalism and, more generally, from fibrations of networks of manifolds.
In this work we consider a mixed precision approach to accelerate the implemetation of multi-stage methods. We show that Runge-Kutta methods can be designed so that certain costly intermediate computations can be performed as a lower-precision computation without adversely impacting the accuracy of the overall solution. In particular, a properly designed Runge-Kutta method will damp out the errors committed in the initial stages. This is of particular interest when we consider implicit Runge-Kutta methods. In such cases, the implicit computation of the stage values can be considerably faster if the solution can be of lower precision (or, equivalently, have a lower tolerance). We provide a general theoretical additive framework for designing mixed precision Runge-Kutta methods, and use this framework to derive order conditions for such methods. Next, we show how using this approach allows us to leverage low precision computation of the implicit solver while retaining high precision in the overall method. We present the behavior of some mixed-precision implicit Runge-Kutta methods through numerical studies, and demonstrate how the numerical results match with the theoretical framework. This novel mixed-precision implicit Runge-Kutta framework opens the door to the design of many such methods.
This study computes the gradient of a function of numerical solutions of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with respect to the initial condition. The adjoint method computes the gradient approximately by solving the corresponding adjoint system numerically. In this context, Sanz-Serna [SIAM Rev., 58 (2016), pp. 3--33] showed that when the initial value problem is solved by a Runge--Kutta (RK) method, the gradient can be exactly computed by applying an appropriate RK method to the adjoint system. Focusing on the case where the initial value problem is solved by a partitioned RK (PRK) method, this paper presents a numerical method, which can be seen as a generalization of PRK methods, for the adjoint system that gives the exact gradient.
Additive Runge-Kutta methods designed for preserving highly accurate solutions in mixed-precision computation were proposed and analyzed in [8]. These specially designed methods use reduced precision or the implicit computations and full precision for the explicit computations. We develop a FORTRAN code to solve a nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations using the mixed precision additive Runge-Kutta (MP-ARK) methods on IBM POWER9 and Intel x86_64 chips. The convergence, accuracy, runtime, and energy consumption of these methods is explored. We show that these MP-ARK methods efficiently produce accurate solutions with significant reductions in runtime (and by extension energy consumption).
It is well-known that a numerical method which is at the same time geometric structure-preserving and physical property-preserving cannot exist in general for Hamiltonian partial differential equations. In this paper, we present a novel class of parametric multi-symplectic Runge-Kutta methods for Hamiltonian wave equations, which can also conserve energy simultaneously in a weaker sense with a suitable parameter. The existence of such a parameter, which enforces the energy-preserving property, is proved under certain assumptions on the fixed step sizes and the fixed initial condition. We compare the proposed method with the classical multi-symplectic Runge-Kutta method in numerical experiments, which shows the remarkable energy-preserving property of the proposed method and illustrate the validity of theoretical results.
