Positivity-preserving methods for ordinary differential equations

[EN] Many important applications are modelled by differential equations with positive solutions. However, it remains an outstanding open problem to develop numerical methods that are both (i) of a high order of accuracy and (ii) capable of preserving positivity. It is known that the two main familie...

However, it remains an outstanding open problem to develop numerical methods that are both (i) of a high order of accuracy and (ii) capable of preserving positivity. It is known that the two main families of numerical methods, Runge-Kutta methods and multistep methods, face an order barrier. If they preserve positivity, then they are constrained to low accuracy: they cannot be better than first order. We propose novel methods that overcome this barrier: second order methods that preserve positivity unconditionally and a third order method that preserves positivity under very mild conditions. Our methods apply to a large class of differential equations that have a special graph Laplacian structure, which we elucidate. The equations need be neither linear nor autonomous and the graph Laplacian need not be symmetric. This algebraic structure arises naturally in many important applications where positivity is required. We showcase our new methods on applications where standard high order methods fail to preserve positivity, including infectious diseases, Markov processes, master equations and chemical reactions.The authors thank the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences for support and hospitality during the programme "Geometry, compatibility and structure preservation in computational differential equations" when work on this paper was undertaken.

If they preserve positivity, then they are constrained to low accuracy: they cannot be better than first order. We propose novel methods that overcome this barrier: second order methods that preserve positivity unconditionally and a third order method that preserves positivity under very mild conditions.
