Class LutherIntegrator

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    ButcherArrayProvider, ODEIntegrator

    public class LutherIntegrator
    extends RungeKuttaIntegrator
    This class implements the Luther sixth order Runge-Kutta integrator for Ordinary Differential Equations.

    This method is described in H. A. Luther 1968 paper An explicit Sixth-Order Runge-Kutta Formula.

    This method is an explicit Runge-Kutta method, its Butcher-array is the following one :
