The convergence of explicit Runge-Kutta methods combined with Richardson extrapolation

Faragó, István, Havasi, Ágnes, Zlatev, Zahari (2012)

Applications of Mathematics 2012

Runge-Kutta methods are widely used in the solution of systems of ordinary differential equations. Richardson extrapolation is an efficient tool to enhance the accuracy of time integration schemes. In this paper we investigate the convergence of the combination of any explicit Runge-Kutta method with active Richardson extrapolation and show that the obtained numerical solution converges under rather natural conditions.

The Evolving Digital Mathematics Network

Ruddy, David (2009)

Towards a Digital Mathematics Library. Grand Bend, Ontario, Canada, July 8-9th, 2009

The grand vision of a Digital Mathematics Library (DML), coordinated by a group of institutions that establish polices and practices regarding digitization, management, access, and preservation, has not come to pass. The project encountered two related problems: it was overly ambitious, and the approach to realizing it confused local and community responsibilities. While the vision called for a network of distributed, interoperable repositories, we approached and planned the project as if we were...

The Geometric and Dynamic Essence of Phyllotaxis

P. Atela (2011)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

We present a dynamic geometric model of phyllotaxis based on two postulates, primordia formation and meristem expansion. We find that Fibonacci, Lucas, bijugate and multijugate are all variations of the same unifying phenomenon and that the difference lies in the changes in position of initial primordia. We explore the set of all initial positions and color-code its points depending on the phyllotactic pattern that arises.
