Symmetric sixth-order two-derivative method

ID: symmetric-sixth-order-two-derivative-method

For and , inserting a smooth exact solution into the displayed recurrence gives defect . This follows by expanding . The terms through vanish and the coefficient is nonzero. Its zero-step polynomial is , whose roots are simple and of unit modulus. Thus it is zero-stable and has order six, provided starting values and derivative evaluations have corresponding accuracy.
