Detailed Description

template<class T>
class drake::systems::RungeKutta3Integrator< T >

A third-order Runge Kutta integrator with a third order error estimate.

For a discussion of this Runge-Kutta method, see [Butcher, 1987]. The embedded error estimate was derived using the method mentioned in [Hairer, 1993].

The Butcher tableau for this integrator follows:

       |
0      |
1/2    | 1/2
1      | -1          2
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
         1/6         2/3       1/6
         0           1         0

where the second to last row is the 3rd-order propagated solution and the last row is the 2nd-order midpoint used for the error estimate.

The following documentation is pulled from Simbody's implementation of this integrator: "This is a 3-stage, first-same-as-last (FSAL) 3rd order method which gives us an embedded 2nd order method as well, so we can extract a 3rd-order error estimate for the 2nd-order result, which error estimate can then be used for step size control, since it will behave as h^3. We then propagate the 3rd order result (whose error is unknown), which Hairer calls 'local extrapolation'. We call the initial state (t0,y0) and want (t0+h,y1). We are given the initial derivative f0=f(t0,y0), which most likely is left over from an evaluation at the end of the last step."
