Abstract

We propose a class of s-stage hybrid Runge–Kutta methods for solving ordinary differential equations and study their order conditions and numerical stability property. Examples of second-, third-, and fifth-order hybrid Runge–Kutta methods are given. Numerical experiments are conducted to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed methods.
