Abstract

We consider explicit two-step peer methods for the solution of nonstiff differential systems. By an additional condition a subclass of optimally zero-stable methods is identified that is superconvergent of order p=s+1, where s is the number of stages. The new condition allows us to reduce the number of coefficients in a numerical search for good methods. We present methods with 4-7 stages which are tested in FORTRAN90 and compared with DOPRI5 and DOP853. The results confirm the high potential of the new class of methods.
