Abstract
We construct generalized Runge-Kutta methods for integration of differential equations evolving on a Lie group. The methods are using intrinsic operations on the group, and we are hence guaranteed that the numerical solution will evolve on the correct manifold. Our methods must satisfy two different criteria to achieve a given order. These tasks are completely independent, so once correction functions are found to the given order, we can turn any classical RK scheme into an RK method of the same order on any Lie group. The theory in this paper shows the tight connections between the algebraic structure of the order conditions of RK methods and the algebraic structure of the so called ‘universal enveloping algebra’ of Lie algebras. This may give important insight also into the classical RK theory.

On the solution of linear differential equations in lie groups

TL;DR: The solution of the linear differential equation y′ = a(t)y, y(0) = y0 is represented as an infinite series whose terms are indexed by binary trees, which leads both to a convergence proof and to a constructive computational algorithm.

High order Runge-Kutta methods on manifolds

TL;DR: It is proved that any classical Runge-Kutta method can be turned into an invariant method of the same order on a general homogeneous manifold, and a family of algorithms that are relatively simple to implement are presented.
