Error compensation for hybrid-computer solution of linear differential equations

Z-transform technique compensates for digital transport delay and digital-to-analog hold. Method determines best values for compensation constants in multi-step and Taylor series projections. Technique also provides hybrid-calculation error compared to continuous exact solution, plus system stability properties.

Numerical integration of second order differential equations

Performance characteristics of higher order approximations of Runge-Kutta type are analyzed, and performance predictors for time required on machine and for error size are developed. Technique is useful in evaluating system performance, analyzing material characteristics, and designing inertial guidance and nuclear instrumentation and materials.

Classical eight- and lower-order Runge-Kutta-Nystroem formulas with stepsize control for special second-order differential equations

The formulas include a stepsize control procedure, based on a complete coverage of the leading term of the truncation error in x. The formulas require fewer evaluations per stop than other Runge-Kutta-Nystrom formulas if the latter are operated by using the standard procedure for stepsize control. An example is presented. With results being of the same accuracy, Runge-Kutta-Nystrom formulas discussed save 50 percent or more computer time compared with other Runge-Kutta-Nystrom formulas.
