ABSTRACT

A class of modified collocation Runge–Kutta–Nyström (RKN) methods for solving second-order initial value problem y=f(t,y,y), y(t0)=y0, y(t0)=y0 has been formulated and studied in the paper. The new methods are applicable to a larger class of second-order initial value problems compared to the classical collocation RKN methods and they reduce to the classical methods when y is absent from the equation. Superconvergence for the new methods is attained when the set of collocation points satisfies orthogonality conditions. We proved that an s-stage modified collocation RKN method is of accuracy order of at least s for any set of collocation parameters c and at most 2s when c are Gauss points. The stability function and the stability of some modified RKN methods have also been investigated. Numerical experiments are included to demonstrate the advantage of the new methods.
