摘要

This paper deals with numerical solutions for nonlinear first-order boundary value problems (BVPs) with time-variable delay. For solving this kind of delay BVPs, by combining Runge-Kutta methods with Lagrange interpolation, a class of adapted Runge-Kutta (ARK) methods are developed. Under the suitable conditions, it is proved that ARK methods are convergent of order min{p, μ+ν+1}, where p is the consistency order of ARK methods and μ, ν are two given parameters in Lagrange interpolation. Moreover, a global stability criterion is derived for ARK methods. With some numerical experiments, the computational accuracy and global stability of ARK methods are further testified.
