 Runge
As with the Runge-Kutta 2 Method, in the Runge-Kutta 4 Method we employ the estimated value of the function from Euler's Method for the first predicted change in P.
With the Runge-Kutta 4 method at ∆t = 0.25, the relative error is extremely small, and the rounded estimate and analytical solutions are identical.
For each method, gather data of the relative errors for various values of ∆t.

One subgroup of this family are the Runge-Kutta methods which use a fixed number of corrector steps.
Thus the stability of this method, commonly known as the Improved Euler method, is identical to the Euler method.
The accuracy of the method is, however, second order as may be seen by comparison of (94 c) with the Taylor Series expansion.

 Runge-Kutta methods - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In numerical analysis, the Runge-Kutta methods are an important family of implicit and explicit iterative methods for the approximation of solutions of ordinary differential equations.
The family of explicit Runge-Kutta methods is a generalization of the RK4 method mentioned above.
One member of the family of Runge-Kutta methods is so commonly used, that it is often referred to as "RK4" or simply as "the Runge-Kutta method".

 SciDok - Parallel iterated Runge-Kutta methods and applications
The iterated Runge-Kutta (IRK) method is an iteration scheme for the numerical solution of initial value problems (IVP) of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) that is based on a predictor-corrector method with an Runge-Kutta (RK) method as corrector.
The parallel IRK method is applied to a typical discretization problem, the discretized Brusselator equation.
We present different parallel algorithms of the IRK method on distributed memory multiprocessors for the solution of systems of ODEs.

 Runge-Kutta Methods
So for instance with a first order method, N calculations gives us an error O(1/N), but for a second order method, 2N calculations gives us error O(1/4N2).
A k-th order method has error which diminishes as hk.
It would take N2 calculations to do so well with a first order method.

 Numerical ordinary differential equations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An alternative method is to use techniques from calculus to obtain a series expansion of the solution.
Different methods need to be used to solve BVPs, for example the shooting method, multiple shooting or global methods like finite differences or collocation.
In addition, some methods in numerical partial differential equations convert the partial differential equation into an ordinary differential equation, which must then be solved.

 Runge-Kutta Methods
Runge-Kutta methods are a class of methods which judiciously uses the information on the 'slope' at more than one point to extrapolate the solution to the future time step.
In the forward Euler method, we used the information on the slope or the derivative of y at the given time step to extrapolate the solution to the next time-step.
Note that the RK methods are explicit techniques, hence they are only conditionally stable.

 Runge Kutta Methods
The Runge-Kutta method is easily adapted to higher order differential equations in exactly the same way as the Euler methods.
We will discuss those methods developed by two mathematicians, Runge and Kutta, near the beginning of the 20th century.
This is called a second order method because the results turns out to match the Taylor series to two terms.

 Runge-Kutta methods for ODEs
A commonly used method is the fourth-order RK method with 4 stages (see sheet of methods for ODEs).
There are also implicit RK methods, but these are difficult to use because we have to solve simultaneous implicit equations.
This method is second order (check by doing Taylor expansions).

 Parallel Continuous Runge-Kutta Methods and Vanishing Lag Delay Differential Equations
We associate our method with a Runge-Kutta tableau, from which the order of the method can be determined.
This can occur when the lag is small relative to the stepsize, and the more obvious extensions of the explicit Runge-Kutta method produce implicit equations.
We present an explicit Runge-Kutta scheme devised for the numerical solution of delay differential equations (DDEs) where a delayed argument lies in the current Runge-Kutta interval.

 Re: Any questions about Runge-Kutta methods
A true test of the methods would be selecting a SSP/TVD ERK method and an ordinary ERK which posess nearly identical leading order truncation errors and linear stability domains and testing both of them on a battery of test problems while simultaneously using an error controller to maintain a fixed local error.
For implicit methods, algebraic stability is for nonlinear problems when the distance is measured with an L2 norm.
This should tell you that since methods of lesser stability work very well, maybe the criterion is too severe.

We implement high-order Implicit-Explicit Runge-Kutta (IMEX-RK) methods to overcome geometry-induced stiffness in various linear and nonlinear problems on unstructured grids, by solving the non-stiff portions of the domain using explicit methods, and solving the more expensive stiff portions using implicit methods.
Surprisingly, IMEX-RK methods are not only more efficient than ERK methods for sufficient levels of stiffness, but are also more accurate when nonconsistent filters are used.
