In numerical analysis, the Runge–Kutta methods (English: / ˈ r ʊ ŋ ə ˈ k ʊ t ɑː / ⓘ RUUNG-ə-KUUT-tah [1]) are a family of implicit and explicit iterative methods, which include the Euler method, used in temporal discretization for the approximate solutions of simultaneous nonlinear equations. [2]
The Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg method has two methods of orders 5 and 4; it is sometimes dubbed RKF45 . Its extended Butcher Tableau is: / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / The first row of b coefficients gives the fifth-order accurate solution, and the second row has order four.

For example, implicit linear multistep methods include Adams-Moulton methods, and backward differentiation methods (BDF), whereas implicit Runge–Kutta methods [6] include diagonally implicit Runge–Kutta (DIRK), [7] [8] singly diagonally implicit Runge–Kutta (SDIRK), [9] and Gauss–Radau [10] (based on Gaussian quadrature [11]) numerical ...
Methods such as Runge–Kutta take some intermediate steps (for example, a half-step) to obtain a higher order method, but then discard all previous information before taking a second step. Multistep methods attempt to gain efficiency by keeping and using the information from previous steps rather than discarding it.
An example of this effect is shown in the diagram opposite, which illustrates a 1D advective equation with a step wave propagating to the right. The simulation was carried out with a mesh of 200 cells and used a 4th order Runge–Kutta time integrator (RK4).
