Abstract

We present a new explicit Runge-Kutta method with algebraic order four, minimum error of the fifth algebraic order (the limit of the error is zero, when the step-size tends to zero), infinite order of dispersion and eighth order of dissipation. The efficiency of the newly constructed method is shown through the numerical results of a wide range of methods when these are applied to well-known periodic orbital problems.
