Consider an nth order accurate Runge-Kutta method. How many times is the derivative evaluated at the fourth time-step?
Consider an nth order accurate Runge-Kutta method. How many times is the derivative evaluated at the fourth time-step? Correct Answer n times
At each step of the Runge-Kutta method, the derivate has to be evaluated n times. Here, ‘n’ is the order of accuracy of the Runge-Kutta method. This is a major disadvantage of Runge-Kutta methods.
