Eight-stage pseudo-symplectic Runge-Kutta methods of order (4, 8)

Abstract: Using simplifying assumptions that are related to the time reversal symmetry, a 1-dimensional family of 8-stage pseudo-symplectic Runge-Kutta methods of order (4, 8), i.e., methods of order 4 that preserve symplectic structure up to order 8, is derived. An example of 7-stage method of order (4, 9) is given.
