ACCELERATION OF RUNGE-KUTTA INTEGRATION SCHEMES PHAILAUNG PHOHOMSIRI AND FIRDAUS E. UDWADIA Received 24 November 2003 A simple accelerated third-order Runge-Kutta-type, fixed time step, integration scheme that uses just two function evaluations per step is developed. Because of the lower number of function evaluations, the scheme proposed herein has a lower computational cost than the standard third-order Runge-Kutta scheme while maintaining the same order of local accuracy. Numerical examples illustrating the computational efficiency and accuracy are presented and the actual speedup wh
