Overview
 

 1°) An Implicit Runge-Kutta Method with order 8
 2°) A General Implicit-Runge-Kutta Program  ( with an example of a 12th-order method )
 3°) A Slighly less general Implicit-Runge-Kutta Program  ( with an example of a 13th-order method )
 

-These methods are applied to solve:

     a) A first order differential equation:       dy/dx = f(x,y)                                          with the initial value:    y(x0) = y0
     b) A system of 2 differential equations:   dy/dx = f(x,y,z)  ;   dz/dx = g(x,y,z)          -------------------s:   y(x0) = y0  ;   z(x0) = z0
 
 

1°) An implicit Runge-Kutta Method with order 8
 

     a) First order differential equations:  dy/dx = f (x;y)
 

-The formulae are called explicit Runge-Kutta methods if the successive k1 , k2 , .... , kn  may be directly computed.
-In the following program , we have  k1 = h.f ( x + b1h ; y + a1,1 k1 +  a1,2 k2 +  ..... + a1,5 k5 )
                                                         .....................................................................................          where ai,j # 0  for j > i-1
                                                        k5 = h.f ( x + b5h ; y + a5,1 k1 +  a5,2 k2 +  ..... + a5,5 k5 )

                                                        and   ci = a5,i

-The advantage is that only 5 stages ( instead of 11 ) are required to obtain an 8th-order method: the program is shorter and less data registers are needed.
-But we have to solve a 5x5 non-linear system within each step! Speed is not a characteristic of implicit methods, especially with an HP-41...
-"IRK8" uses an iterative algorithm based on the "fixed-point theorem"
-Some implicit Runge-Kutta formulae are also satisfactory for stiff problems, but the elementary iterative method used by "IRK8" will seldom lead to convergence
  in such a case, unless h is very small: another algorithm ( like the Newton's method ) would be better to solve the 5x5 non-linear system, if you're in the mood...

3°)  A slighly less general Implicit-Runge-Kutta Program
 

     a) First order differential equations:  dy/dx = f (x;y)
 

-Implicit Runge-Kutta methods are usually more "stable" than any explicit method, but n-stage (2n-1) or (2n-2) order methods are even more stable
  than n-stage 2n-order methods. ( For a detailed description of stability properties of Runge-Kutta methods, cf Butcher's work )
-That's precisely what happens with the Radau IIA methods ( n-stage (2n-1)-order methods ) and Lobatto IIIC methods ( n-stage (2n-2)-order methods )
  which also have another feature in common:  ci = an,i  ( i = 1 , 2 , .... , n ) , thus, less data registers are needed.
-The 2 following programs take advantage of this fact but the 2 programs presented above would work too.

Note:   The programs listed in paragraph 1 use a 5-stage 8th-order Lobatto IIIC method.

-The HP-41 displays  | k1 - k'1 | + ............ +  | k2n - k'2n |  where   ki and k'i  are 2 successive k-approximations:
-At each step, this sum must tend to zero. Otherwise, reduce the stepsize h and start over!

-Press R/S to continue with the same h and N.
-Start over with a smaller stepsize to obtain an error estimate.
