Order Reduction of Exponential Runge--Kutta Methods: Fourth-Order Schemes for Non-Commuting Operators
This paper extends the convergence analysis of explicit exponential Runge--Kutta methods for linear parabolic problems $u'(t) + Au(t) = Bu(t)$, where $A$ generates an analytic semigroup and $B$ is relatively bounded with respect to $A$, from the third-order case to fourth-order schemes. By establishing the global error...
