Order-4 symmetrized runge-kutta methods for stiff problems (Kaedah Runge-Kutta Tersimetri Peringkat-4 untuk Masalah Kaku)

If a Runge-Kutta method having an asymptotic error expansion in the stepsize h is symmetric then it is characterised by an h2-expansion. Since elimination of the leading error terms in succession results in an increase in the order by two at a time, a symmetric method could therefore be suitable fo...

This can be achieved by a process called symmetrization which is a composition of the symmetric method with an L-stable method known as a symmetrizer.
