To verify its nonlinear order, not just its scalar linear order, set

e = (1, 1, 1)^{T}

c = A e

and

C = diag (c)

b^{T} e = 1, b^{T} c = \frac{1}{2}, b^{T} c^{2} = \frac{1}{3}, b^{T} A c = \frac{1}{6}, b^{T} c^{3} = \frac{1}{4}, b^{T} C A c = \frac{1}{8}, b^{T} A c^{2} = \frac{1}{12}, b^{T} A^{2} c = \frac{1}{24} .

are componentwise. These eight Butcher order conditions establish order at least four for general smooth ODEs. On the Dahlquist test equation, elimination of the stages gives

R (z) = \frac{1 + z /2 + z ^{2} /12}{1 - z /2 + z ^{2} /12}, R (z) - e^{z} = - \frac{z ^{5}}{720} + O (z^{6}) .

A nonzero fifth-order step defect rules out order five. Thus the method has exactly order four.
