36-588: The novelty of Fehlberg's method is that it is an embedded method from the Runge–Kutta family , meaning that identical function evaluations are used in conjunction with each other to create methods of varying order and similar error constants. The method presented in Fehlberg's 1969 paper has been dubbed the RKF45 method, and is a method of order O( h ) with an error estimator of order O( h ). By performing one extra calculation,

Explicit methods of order 7 with 9 stages and explicit methods of order 8 with 11 stages are also known. See Refs. for a summary. The RK4 method falls in this framework. Its tableau is A slight variation of "the" Runge–Kutta method is also due to Kutta in 1901 and

180-480: A step with the higher-order method. During the integration, the step size is adapted such that the estimated error stays below a user-defined threshold: If the error is too high, a step is repeated with a lower step size; if the error is much smaller, the step size is increased to save time. This results in an (almost), optimal step size, which saves computation time. Moreover, the user does not have to spend time on finding an appropriate step size. The lower-order step

The matrix [ a ij ] is called the Runge–Kutta matrix , while the b i and c i are known as
