Three-stage Hermite-Birkhoff solver of order 8 and 9 with variable step size for stiff ODEs. (English) Zbl 1323.65083
Summary: Variable-step (VS) $$3$$-stage Hermite-Birkhoff (HB) methods $$\mathrm{HB}$$ $$(p=k+1)$$ of order $$p=8$$ and $$9$$ are constructed as a combination of linear $$k$$-step methods of order $$(p-2)$$ and a diagonally implicit one-step $$3$$-stage Runge-Kutta method of order $$3$$ (DIRK3) for solving stiff ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Forcing a Taylor expansion of the numerical solution to agree with an expansion of the true solution leads to multistep and Runge-Kutta type order conditions which are reorganized into linear confluent Vandermonde-type systems. This approach allows us to develop $$A$$-stable methods of order up to $$5$$ and $$A(\alpha)$$-stable methods of order up to $$10$$. Fast algorithms are developed for solving these systems in $$O(p^2)$$ operations to obtain HB interpolation polynomials in terms of generalized Lagrange basis functions. The stepsize of these methods are controlled by a local error estimator. When programmed in C++, $$\mathrm{HB}(p)$$ of order $$p=8$$ and $$9$$ compare favorably with existing Cash modified extended backward differentiation formulae of order $$7$$ and $$8$$, MEBDF($$7-8$$) (cf.[J. R. Cash, Numer. Math. 34, 235–246 (1980; Zbl 0411.65040)]), in solving problems often used to test higher order stiff ODE solvers on the basis of CPU time and error at the endpoint of the integration interval.
