Third-order composite Runge–Kutta method for stiff problems

TLDR
Combination of the harmonic and arithmetic means of the Runge–Kutta formulation has resulted in the introduction of a new formula for the numerical solution of stiff ordinary differential equations.
Abstract
The derivation of a composite method for solving stiff ordinary differential equations is discussed. Combination of the harmonic and arithmetic means of the Runge–Kutta formulation has resulted in the introduction of a new formula for the numerical solution of stiff ordinary differential equations. The numerical results and the A-stability of this new formula are examined.
