Abstract

The main results of this paper are as follows: (1) Suppose an s stage Runge-Kutta method is consistent, irreducible, non-confluent and symplectic. Then this method is of order at least 2p+l(1ps1) provided that the simplifying conditions C(p) (or D(p) with non-zero weights) and B(2p+l) hold, where l=0,1,2. (2) Suppose an s stage Runge-Kutta method is consistent, irreducible and non-confluent, and satisfies the simplifying conditions C(p) and D(p) with 0ps. Then this method is symplectic if and only if either p=s or the nonlinear stablility matrix M of the method has an (sp)×(sp) chief submatrix ˆM=0. (3) Using the results (1) and (2) as bases, we present a general approach for the construction of symplectic Runge-Kutta methods, and a software has benn designed, by means of which, the coefficients of s stage symplectic Runge-Kutta methods satisfying C(p),D(p) and B(2p+l) can be easily computed, where 1ps,0l2,s2p+l2s.
