We apply a second-order symmetric Runge–Kutta method and a second-order symplectic Runge–Kutta method directly to the gyrocenter dynamics which can be expressed as a noncanonical Hamiltonian system. The numerical simulation results show the overwhelming superiorities of the two methods over a higher order nonsymmetric nonsymplectic Runge–Kutta method in long-term numerical accuracy and near energy conservation. Furthermore, they are much faster than the midpoint rule applied to the canonicalized system to reach given precision.

I present a numerical solution of linear and nonlinear stiff problems using the RK-Butcher algorithm. The obtained discrete solutions using the RK-Butcher algorithm are found to be very accurate and are compared with the exact solutions of the linear and nonlinear stiff problems and also with the Runge-Kutta method based on arithmetic mean (RKAM). A topic of stability for the RK-Butcher algorithm is discussed in detail. Error graphs for discrete and exact solutions are presented in a graphical form to show the efficiency of the RK-Butcher algorithm. The results obtained show that RK-Butcher algorithm is more useful for solving linear and nonlinear stiff problems and the solution can be obtained for any length of time.
