How is the final result calculated in RK-Dopri(4,5)?
Computational Science Asked on August 26, 2021
I have found a toy implementation of RK-Dopri(4,5), written in Python.
I am concerned however, about line 118:
y = y + h * (b1*K1+b3*K3+b4*K4+b5*K5+b6*K6)
Has the term b2*K2 been omitted on purpose? I have a feeling that it is not, given (1.8) in Hairer, Wanner and Norsett:
Can you confirm?
One Answer
$b_2$ is zero in the Butcher tableau for Dormand-Prince, so you can skip that term.
Note that also the code you linked to contains lines b2 = 0.0, b2p = 0.0, which are just there as a reminder because those variables are never used.
