Analysis of the order, error constant, consistency and convergence will help in determining an effective Runge- Kutta Method (RKM) to use. Due to the loss of linearity in Runge –Kutta Methods and the fact that the general Runge –Kutta Method makes no mention of the differential equation makes it impossible to define the order of the method independently of the differential equation.enConvergenceinitial value problemsstep numberdifferential equationTHE ORDER AND ERROR CONSTANT OF A RUNGE-KUTTA TYPE METHOD FOR THE NUMERICAL SOLUTION OF INITIAL VALUE PROBLEMArticle
