ABSTRACT: The purpose of the present work is to construct a nonlinear equation system (85 × 53) using Butcher’s Table and then by solving this system to find the values of all set parameters and finally the reduction formula of the Runge-Kutta (7,9) method (7th order and 9 stages) for the solution of an Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE). Since the system of high order conditions required to be solved is too complicated, we introduce a subsystem from the original system where all coefficients are found with respect to 9 free parameters. These free parameters, as well as some others in addition, are adjusted in such a way to furnish more efficient R-K methods. We use the MATLAB software to solve several of the created subsystems for the comparison of our results which have been solved analytically.
