Development of Implicit Rational Runge-Kutta Schemes for Second Order Ordinary Differential Equations

Abstract

In this paper, the development of One – Stage Implicit Rational Runge – Kutta methods are considered using Taylor and Binomial series expansion for the direct solution of general second order initial value problems of ordinary differential equations with constant step length. The basic properties of the developed method were investigated and found to be consistent and convergent.
