Abstract:

No Runge–Kutta method can be energy preserving for all Hamiltonian systems. But for problems in which the Hamiltonian is a polynomial, the averaged vector field (AVF) method can be interpreted as a Runge–Kutta method whose weights $b_i$ and abscissae $c_i$ represent a quadrature rule of degree at least that of the Hamiltonian. We prove that when the number of stages is minimal, the Runge–Kutta scheme must in fact be identical to the AVF scheme.
