The Alekseev-Gr{\"o}bner lemma is combined with the theory of modified equations to obtain an \emph{a priori} estimate for the global error of numerical integrators. This estimate is correct up to a remainder term of order $h^{2p}$, where…
When one wishes to numerically solve an initial value problem, it is customary to rewrite it as an equivalent first-order system to which a method, usually from the class of Runge-Kutta methods, is applied. Directly treating higher-order…
We show how the error term for the Trapezium Rule can be estimated, by solving an initial value problem using a Runge-Kutta method. The error term can then be added to the Trapezium approximation, yielding a much more accurate result. We…
