Error Analysis Using Three and Four Stage Eighth Order Embedded Runge-Kutta Method for Sixth Order Ordinary Differential Equation vvi(u)=f(u,v,v',v'',v''',viv)

The present paper aims at providing an insight to embedded Runge-Kutta sixth order (RKSD) ordinary differential equation method for solving the initial value problem of order six of type vvi(u) = f(u, v, v', v'',v''',viv). The concept of order conditions for the three and four stages up to the eighth and ninth orders, respectively, is designed and evaluated; furthermore, the zero-stability of the proposed method is proved. Comparisons are made between these orders with the help of a mathematical example, and global and local truncated error norms are evaluated.
